    Not sure if asked here before. Just wondering how many use same shaft in wedges as irons?

    I'm looking for new wedges at moment and wondering should I use same type.

    My iron shafts are lightweight and most wedges seem to come with heavy shafts. So wondering what others have found to work best for them

    I use Recoil 95 stiff graphite shafts in both my irons and wedges. Irons are Mizuno JPX 900 forged and Mizuno S5 wedges. I have just got special order set of 3 Vokey wedges with same Recoil 95 F4 shafts but found them very head heavy... OK for full shots but real problems with touch shots. I had them rebuilt to lighten the head and overall weight and while much improved to me they are not yet where I would like them. I have learnt that Vokey heads are quite heavy, which may be a good thing for wedge accuracy, but may be a problem with a light shaft. It seems Mizuno have lighter heads for graphite shafts and have heard same may apply with Cleveland, though I have yet to prove that. My preference is to have same shaft in irons and wedges as long as the weight/balance is good on the wedges. Someone suggested I look at lightweight Nippon steel shafts but have yet to do that.
