What wedges did you end up with...I am looking too
HG
Here's a quick summary, keep in mind that it's cold up here and I couldn't hit many of these outside.
Of the wedges I tried in the store, I liked the ping tour wedges best. The weighting, grind, and feel at impact were all really nice.
The vokey spin milled, callaway x-tour, and cleveland 588's were all really nice, also.
As I was narrowing down my search, I decided to try the lie board in store to see if my swing and/or specs had changed. It was different than this time last year, so I decided to hold off until I could see Ted about some new irons.
When visiting Ted, let's just say my swing was rusty from the winter. He worked his magic, and had me hitting the ball good enough to do a fit and order clubs. While at the swamp, I checked out the Henry Griffitts RDH wedges, and they were basically identical to the cleveland 588's. Since I trust the HG quality control and liked the style and feel of those wedges, I ordered a 60, 56, and 51 degree @ 3 degrees flat.
The snow finally melted, and I played my first 9 holes with them last weekend. They performed beautifully, as did the rest of the HG irons.

Thanks Ben for the feedback....a couple of more questions if I may...what bounce angle did you select for each of your wedges and what factors contributed to that selection?....what is the basis for 3 degrees flat on the wedges..is that the same lie as the rest of your irons?

I have short legs in proportion to the rest of my body, and 3 flat is the result of the dynamic fitting (and is actually the same as my results on many static wrist-to-floor type fittings). My whole set is 3 flat. That's up from 4 flat last year because of swing changes.
Ted or Jeff will have to provide the exact bounce numbers, but it's pretty standard. Higher bounce on the 56 for sand shots, and lower on the other clubs so it's easier to play from tight lies and execute different types of shots.

You are in good hands.
I really wanted Jeff to fit mine, but distance -and the fitting process meant I couldn't
