    I've had D and F in my 54 degree wedges and honestly preferred the F, even out of sand. I really want them to come out for a .14K for the sand wedges, but so far no luck.

    The F grind bent strong by 2* is good for various conditions. Been playing 54-14F (52*) for a year now. Just switched to a jet black 56-14F (set to 54). My LWs are 60-06K and a PM Grind 64/10. I keep a 58-12D for courses like Torrey Pines and it is actually pretty versatile but the F and low K are better off tight lies.

    I played K grind between 2019-2023. Its shortcoming is flop shots or open face (which is where D Grind wins out); however, it works better for hitting off hard lies vs D grind. Been a trade off.

    Just upgraded my wedges this fall, 3x SM10. Kept my 50 F and 54 F the same but switched my 58 from a K to a D. K was definitely easier to get our of bunkers with but D gives me so much more versatility around the greens. I was always worried about my steep swing and larger divots but the D - 12 grind has been the best of both worlds so far. Enjoy!!

    All jet black. 48-10F (46*)-56-14F (54*)-60-06K and PM Grind 64/10. 58-12D for places like Torrey Pines.

    I just buy all the same grind/bounce and go play golf, nothing complicated about. No experimenting, no grinding, no swapping out regularly. I know my yardages, and ground conditions. Golf is too complicated as it is to worry about exact gapping and changing clubs for specific courses. Just have fun!

    My basic "gaping" (sic, "gapping") is 46-50-54-60-64 with a 58-14K (57) for fluffy bunkers. The bare necessities are 46-54-60-64.

    K and Low Bounce K for lob wedges. PW, GW, SW are F grind.

    Hey Mike, if you're searching for versatility D grind is the way to go.

    58-12D set to 57 has been a go to. It actually hits better overall vs 56-12D stock. I have a 60-06K that I'll bring on unknown courses.

    What one sees on my thumbnail is my setup. Have 56-14F (55*) for a sand wedge and 60-06K for a lob wedge. Between 2018-2022 played a K grind 2* strong as a sand wedge. I had also alternated between D grind and K grind.

    K grind is a little bit better vs D grind for hitting off firmer lies but the latter is better for open face and flop shots

    F grind works better than D grind off the fairway for pitching and is about even on soft lies and sand. I tried 54-12D set to 52 as a gap wedge and switched to 54-14F (set to 52). I'd been using the 54-14F vice a 52-12F because the former was straighter. About 6 months ago switched to a 56-14F and also found that my lie angle on the 52-12F was 1/2* too upright so I matched it to the 46-10F.

    I've had 60-06K in my bag about a year and a half now. Started with the Wedgeworks version and switched to jet black a year ago. I can hit on a wide variety of lies and it works nicely on flop shots. Have to sweep when hitting off soft lies.

    I use a 46-10F (44*) in place of a 9 iron.

    This is my thumbnail as of today and is general purpose. The attachment is what I would play if at Torrey Pines. I've been using 58-12D (57*) for quite some time as a "sand wedge".
