I am currently playing old Tour Flighted Rifle Shafts 5.5 in my irons/wedges, and would like to try a new set of wedges. I hit a PW approx 125 yds and my tendency is to over-draw these shots. I would like to gain more spin control around the greens and am considering the minimal offset carbon steel wedges. Offset on a wedge causes me to consistenly pull shots, so i prefer minimal offset.....preferably zero. I am a high-ball hitter and can already hit a 56deg wedge sky high, so i could use some help in selecting new shafts for these wedges that will keep the ball flight down on full shots without sacrificing feel.............feel free to suggest a shaft/head combination, as perhaps the carbon wedges are not the best choice for me? thanks

The Tour Flighted Rifles where designed to keep the ball down in the wedges so you might very well hit a naturally high ball regardless of what you would play. Non-offset will be relegated to using more of a blade style wedge, like our Dynacraft DMC wedges.

or the Professional Open wedges if you want a cast stainless steel model:

If you want to keep the ball down, then look at the Dynamic Gold as it would have about the best chance of keeping the ball down.
