    I'm considering either a 54-10 S or 54-10 M wedge .... and  either a 60-07 S or 60-07 M wedge.

    I've read the brochure information on the grind differences. 

    I'm probably a neutral or slider-neutral swing.

    I'm not sure from reading ... which might be the best grind ... or what the differences would be when addressed square vs. open.

    Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts/advice on the these two different grinds.

     

    Thanks.

    Hi Troy,

    In general, the S grinds suits a player that plays shots around the green with a square face angle.  The M grind suits a player that likes to manipulate the face angle. 

    As a slider, they are both a great choice.  I would just evaluate how you use each wedge and choose the grind accordingly.  

    I hope this helps!

    Hi Troy, I have the TVD 54M and TVD 60M and they are outstanding for me and I am a Neutral player. When I open it up, or close it down they sit great and to me they are perfect. That is what the "M" grind allows you to do so nicely. Get fit though for the right lie angle as this plays a role in getting the most out of a sweet wedge. I used to be 1 deg upright with vokeys before proper fitting and now am 1 deg flat with "M" grind and way more consistent and accurate. Hope the helps you a bit. Back to the basement range till the snow goes. Cheers, James
