Wedge shaft question

[PhilTheFragger]

Having my clubs looked at tomorrow with a view to moving from Regular to senior or A flex ( existing thread in lounge)

Should I also be looking at my wedge shafts too or is it set in stone that they are a stiffer shafted club

Thanks

Many would say we would benefit from having softer shafts in our wedges, more feel on shorter shots etc
which probably outnumber the amount of full shots we hit over a season.

So ladies or junior flex phil, which will you choose

Stiffer shafts supposedly help to give a lower flight.

If you swing your wedges like your itons (80%+) probably go for a shaft the suits a fuller swing.

If your not going at that rate I'd be tempted for a stiffer flex.

Unless you are unhappy with your current wedge performance, then there's no need to change!

Wedge play is supposedly a 'finesse' shot, so the full swing issue that you are changing your shafts on the irons doesn't really apply! You could consider calibrating 9i and 8i for finesse swings though!

I'm happy with the short game stuff, chips/ pitches, but full shots are a push right same as other clubs .

No yes or no on this one. Do you play many full shots with your wedges?

Some shafts are exactly the same weight through the whole set. So my PX wedge shaft is the same weight as my 3 iron shaft. Other shafts are the opposit. Take the new Rifle shafts, each shaft through the set gets lighter.

You seeing Alex at Okra.

It's absolutely not the case that you wedge shafts need to be stiff and a lot of wedge guru's suggest pluses to matching iron and wedge shafts.

Yup seeing Alex tomorrow, he's going to look at all the shafts, not just the Orka irons
