Wedge grooves don’t last forever.
If you play regularly, there’s a good chance that your wedges are already losing spin and stability, especially on part shots and around the green. The problem is that replacing wedges every season (or even every other season) gets expensive quickly.
So, I went back to ours The best wedge test 2024 and matches the current price. The result: some of those high-performing wedges have seen significant price declines.
Here are the standouts.
of MG4 finished second overall in our 2024 test and was one of the most complete wedges in the field. It ranked second in accuracy and second in durability, which is as strong as it gets for an all-around performer.
They are now priced at approx $149.98 (down from $179.99). It’s certainly easier to justify than it was at full price.
of SM10 ENDED third overall and it was most accurate wedge in test (first in accuracy). With a Vokey wedge, you know what you’re getting. Take a look at the professional bags and you’ll quickly see that the Vokey line has proven itself over the years.
While it didn’t lead to spin, its strength is predictability. If you’re looking to hit your number, check the distance, and repeat, it’s worth it.
With prices now approx $159.98 (down from $189.99)you are not getting the latest Vokey technology, but you are getting a wedge with proven results.
of RTX 6 ZipCore it finished sixth overall, but what stands out is how balanced it was. It was sixth in accuracy and sixth in rotation.
It performed well across the board, but didn’t stand out in any category. Now around $139.98 (down from $169.99)is at a very attractive value level for a proven performer. Additionally, Cleveland wedges are known for maintaining a high spin rate even when playing from wet grass.
We went back a little further on this.
of Mold CB Wedge was part of 2023 The best wedge testing and stood out as the best for accuracy.
Unlike the more traditional player style wedges on this list, the CB is built with one hollow-back design to provide more forgiveness for off-center hits. This makes it a strong option for golfers who need a little extra help around the greens.
Now priced at approx $139.98 (down from $159.99)it’s a good option for players who feel they need a little help around the greens.
Final thoughts
Wedges wear out; it’s just part of the game. But replacing them doesn’t always mean paying full price. Come back after a few years of testing and you’ll probably stumble upon some good deals. If you are a left-handed golfer, the price can be even lower.
