I was wondering what would be an appropriate swing weight for a 52 & 58 wedge, if my irons are at D-0.5. The fourteen website offers an NSPRO 950 at D-1/D-2 combo, or a DG at D-2/D-3 combo for the wedges. Would a jump from D-0.5 to D-2/3 fundamentally cause inconsistencies in the feel and swing of the club. Thanks for the reply

It's not uncommon to see wedges even at D4-5 (though not in Japan!).
I think you won't notice too much difference between D0.5 and D1... D2 maybe, but with the higher lofts and shorter shafted wedges, the extra swingweight gives you feel for shorter more accurate shots anyway. If you look at Epon irons most of them are around C9-D0 and Epon wedges are D1-D2 so it's pretty normal for the wedges to have higher swingweight. |

My irons are D2 swingweight my wedges D4, as recommended by my clubmaker, I have found this to be perfect, the additional weight in the wedges is ideal for delicate shots around the green but not too heavy for full shots.
