Should you ever be forced into using a wedge, the difference in the consistency of the wedge becomes significant. However, knowing which club works and which doesn’t take the kind of experience that everyone wouldn’t want. The good news is that if a club designer makes superb irons and premium drivers, their wedges are likely exceptional.
1. Cleveland Golf CBX 2
The club’s sheer variety in the loft options it offers and right/left-hand orientation are vital to its placement. That capability ensures that you can always find a fit no matter your preferences. You don’t have to worry about consistency either, because Cleveland’s Rote face groove design offers that in excess.

- Large head
- Dynamic sole
- Hollow-cavity build
- Steel/graphite shaft
Pros
- Has vibration-reducing technology

2. Callaway Golf Mack Daddy 5 JAWS

3. Wilson Harmonized Chipper
Compared to what Callaway and Cleveland offer, Wilson’s wedge is significantly lower and the options not as broad. However, it’s much cheaper than anything else with its performance level. The wedge has alignment aid that makes lining it up accurately a breeze even for high-handicappers. Harmonized’s head shape is also relatively new, but we’re not yet sure how it affects the club’s performance.
Features
- 32⁰ loft
- Right-hand orientation
- Steel shaft
- Wedge-putter hybrid
- USGA compliant
Pros
- Low price
- Durable and comfy grip
- Excellent versatility
- Impressive scoot of deep grass
- Unique design
- Forgiveness is high
- Distinct sweet spot
Cons
- No face-insert
- Difficult to adapt to the new weighting

As the most expensive wedges on our list, TaylorMade MG2 doesn’t disappoint with its performance. The club comes in both right and left-hand configurations as well as lofts ranging from 50⁰/9⁰ bounce to 60⁰/12⁰ bounce. Without doubt, MG2 is a wedge that’ll get you plenty of jealous looks on the pitch.
Features

- Raw face with Milled grind
- Rough grooves with Laser etch pattern
