Why are some wedges designed to rust, like those Nike engage models. Iv read about the rust increasing spin but it sounds like an old wife's tale to me??

Wives tale, the rust finish was to be anti glare.

Jet black SM6 will rust. IIRC, there is a sticker on shaft saying so.

i have similar set up in sm5 just with different bounces
58 degree 11 bounce k grind
54 degree 14 bounce f grind
50 degree 12 bounce f grind
like them so much I got a pitching wedge in 46 degree 8 bounce f grind
still carry my pitch which is 43 degree as I currently have space but I hardly use it and go for the vokeys more often than not

Yikes! What irons are those?
Ap1 have that spec. As to quite a lot of the game improvement irons iirc.

716 ap1s my old ping g15s were 45 degree so thought for £45 second hand for a sm5 46 degree was a little compromise

I knew lofts had strengthened over the years I was away from golf. My own PW is now 45* and I was aware that some sets had a 44* wedge, but hadn't realized we'd crept down to 43*. How things change. (My old 8 iron was 40*)

My PW is 46 which I thought was fairly standard but clearly there is a trend to even stronger ones. I like my 6 degree gap (52 & 58) but if sets are going to be 45 or stronger, then I'll need something like 50, 54 and 58 which means making an adjustment elsewhere to get the extra wedge on. Is it a conspiracy by the OEM's to get us buying more clubs (wedges)

You make a good point about conspiracies.
I just wonder if this is the wy the game is going with stronger irons to try and get more distance?

PW from my set (Taylormade R11) is 42 degree, SW is 46.
Carry a 52 degree wedge which I really don't like and a 60 degree which is really handy around the greens.
With the 52, I have no issues as long as I'm not playing full shots. It's all in my head, I just don't like that club.

I thought the PW was 45 and the SW 55?

My PW is 46 so 50 55 60 is the best I think I can do. 50 and 55 were awkward to get used to after being 52 56 for all of my golfing life. But I think it was more in my head!

My PW is 45- have 50/56/60 wedge. Always meant to get the 56 bent into a 55 but just haven't got round to it yet and to be honest don't really notice it at all. Doubt 1 degree makes a lot of difference.

Just bought 50 54 58 ping glide £69 each
i changed my irons and the wedge is 45
i think this is to get people to buy hybrids as the lofts on long irons now are getting silly most people can't hit them .
so to close the gap it leaves at the other end you need four wedges don't forget the wedges are the scoring clubs and I have always carried four.
