  Hi guys, thinking of replacing my wedges with the Cleveland L76, 78 and 80, that would be 60, 80 and 100 yds. I was thinking of the Callaways Macdaddy, but it doesn't have 60 yds. Are these choices fit with the rest of my clubs? thanks

  A question to ask yourself is how well do you play with the current Clevelands you have, as far as hitting the ding?  The top level CW's have the same meter speed as your current ones.  They have more spin than the L66 -L68 Mac Daddy wedges, the same amount as the top level Mac Daddy's.

  The major difference is that you will be playing whatever you buy for quite a while, as from L85 to L96 is about 1,000,000 XP's.  It's a grind, no question.  So unless you need the slower meter of the Mid-Level Mac Daddy's you will probably be happier with the Clevelands.

  I rarely hit the ding with these wedges, but they seem to have good forgiveness, so I do reasonably well with them. Maybe I should just get the Macdaddy L43 52 degrees 105 yards, that's between my Pitching wedge at 115 yards, and my Cleveland at 90 yards. Would that be a better idea?

  Not only that but until the new Mac Daddy wedges came along the RTX2.0 wedges were the best in the shop . Once you get them you wont need the Mac Daddy wedges. Once you hit L90+ they will fit in perfectly with any of the higher level irons that you upgrade to . So get the RTX wedges and you wont need to buy anymore wedges after those .
