What is the best wedge in 2023? At GolfWRX, we take great pride in our online community and the cumulative knowledge and experience of our members. Needless to say, that extends to their views on the best wedge of 2023.
The bedrock of GolfWRX.com is the community of passionate and knowledgable golfers in our forums, and we put endless trust in the opinions of our GolfWRX members — the most knowledgeable community of golfers on the internet. No other group of golfers in the world tests golf clubs as frequently or as extensively, nor is armed with such in-depth information about the latest technology.
Best wedge of 2023: The top 5
1. Titleist Vokey SM9 (36.56%)
What Titleist says: “Every Vokey wedge is a demonstration of two distinct realities: the precision of engineering and the artistry of craft. The materials and structure of Vokey SM9 wedges represent our most technologically advanced design, tuned for lower flight and higher spin. But the grind applied to each releases a creative edge that only Bob Vokey can impart.”
You can read what other golfers are saying about the wedge in the GolfWRX forums, and see our launch piece here. Shop Titleist Vokey SM9 wedges here.
2. Cleveland RTX 6 ZipCore (14.52%)
What Cleveland says: “You might think Wedge shots spin far less in rough or wet conditions. But with the all-new RTX 6 ZipCore, when it comes to spin, it’s all lies. By combining our new HydraZip face, UltiZip grooves, and upgraded ZipCore tech, these Wedges are designed to improve spin, conditions be darned.”

T3. TaylorMade MG3 (6.18%)
What TaylorMade says: “Wedge technology has evolved. The new Milled Grind 3 features RAW Face Micro-Ribs, engineered for added face texture to deliver spin around the greens and added precision on partial shots.”

T3. Ping Glide 4.0 (6.18%)
What Ping says: “A precision-machined face and grooves and new textured face blast increase spin and consistency, a larger activated elastomer insert helps soften the feel, and four distinct grind options maximize versatility on full and finesse shots. The compact, refined profile provides a confident and captured look at address.”

5. Cleveland CBX ZipCore (5.34%)
What Cleveland says: “CBX ZipCore delivers the perfect blend of performance and forgiveness for players that never apologize for stepping up their short game.”

WITB Time Machine: Jordan Spieth’s winning WITB, 2015 John Deere Classic
At the 2015 John Deere Classic, Jordan Spieth downed Tom Gillis in a playoff for his fourth victory of the season. Spieth entered the final round with a two-stroke lead, bolstered by a Saturday 10-under 61, and was steady enough Sunday to book passage to a playoff at 20 under par.
