  It looks like Taylor Made will no longer be making a 64 degree wedge in its new top line of wedges. The new top line of wedges the Taylor Made Milled Grind wedges stop at 60 degrees. Is this going to be a trend when and if  WGT brings out new wedges there will not be a 64 degree option. Already the Ping Gorge and Callaway Mack Daddy have no 64 degree option.

  But it will be ok . As long as the Cleveland wedges stay in the proshop none of that will matter . Once they purchase the L76+ 78+ and 80+ Cleveland wedges there is no need for any other wedges . So there wont be anything to worry about . Personally I have been waiting for a Cleveland upgrade to the new RTX3.0 wedges but as yet it hasnt happened . 

  But other than a graphics change I dont see the Clevelands being made any better for the game other than maybe a slower meter because they definitely dont need any more spin . As for the club omission I think they will replicate according to real world production . If the company doesnt make it in real life then WGT wont make it either .

  In real golf, I don't/didn't know anyone who carries a 64 wedge in their bag...most of them only carry a 56 sandwedge and open it up when needed...

  Now HERE, the 64 is a whole different story, but I can see why Club makers would not make one to actually use on a course.

  To me, the loft ain't the problem but the nominal length is.

  No matter what is engraved, the shortest wedges should bear 50 yds or 60 yds on them, neccessary for top precision shots from short range.

  Traditionally, these have been 64° but this might have to change now.

  BTW: Phil Michelson is one of those who has/had 64° wedges, but I only have an (almost unused) 60° in my real bag ;)

  Now you do Dan. I have 64 60 56  Cleveland CG 10's Basically my clubs in real life mirror what most is us have here except occasionally I will drop my 48 degree wedge in favor of a 1 iron.

  Exactly. I wouldn't upgrade to any other wedges. Very happy with my Clevelands.
