Suggestions on new lob wedge?

Any one have any brands/models to look for? So far I've looked at Nike SVs, Taylormade RACs, and Titleist Vokeys. Any other ideas?

When buying a lob wedge, I think there are two things you should look for. Firstly the most important part is the bounce.Depending on the type of divot you take will determine the degree of bounce needed. Secondly some wedges have a softer feel than others. Firm feeling wedges include the Titleist spin milled while softer feeling wedges include the full range of Cleveland wedges. Good luck

I've herd really good things about the new Cleveland CG12 series, zip groves give a lot of spin I bet.

See golf doesn't begin on the 1st tee and doesn't end on the 18th green... its a life long journey.

The bigger groves on any wedge only spin the ball more when something comes between the face and the ball at impact. So if it is wet, or you are in the rough or sand you will notice a difference. However, you will see nothing more from the fairway.

I know someone will disagree, but you can find that proof from the USGA

I would suggest Feel wedges a look if you have never used them before. I personally use the Sonartec wedges and I think the are pretty awesome. Use the link in my signature and read my review of the Feel and the Sonartec. There is also a pretty cool review of Scratch wedges, which are now the number 1 forged wedge on the Natiowide tour.
