i have heard that many like dynalite shafts on their wedges. what advantage, if any does rifle spinner wedges have? does true temper offer a wedge flex? and lastly, if i have a dsfi of 83, fast tempo 86 what flex wedge do i want for shots 50 yards and in?
i recently found a penley tour light shaft stiff flex and went from a long power fade/slice to a straight/slight draw. what does this say about my driver dsfi?
love your sight and appreciate everything you do. you are amazing.
thanks,

The Spinner was designed so the touring pros would have more feel in their wedges. This was possible through the soft tip section, which is what the Dynalite has as well. True Temper does not offer a "wedge flex" specifically for the aftermarket. The wedge flex you see in the Clevaland and Titleist wedges are actually just the opposite of the Spinner, which would be the same as using Dynamic Gold and trimming an extra 1/2" from the tip of the shaft.

Based on your speed (assuming that is 5-iron speed and not driver), go with S-flex. If A full shot for 50 yards will only be relevant to the loft of the club, not the flex.

I don't know what head or shaft/flex you were using before as that might have been the cause of your power fade. The Penley Tour Light was an ultralight shaft with a firmer tip section (DSFI of @85). Golfers with a fast tempo often prefer shafts with a firmer tip section for control.
