Just thought I'd post about the grind I got done on my Proto Y-Cutter..
As some of you may know, the Proto head came with a wide sole, and extra meat for customised grinds... I'd been playing it for a couple of months with the wide sole, but it took some effort to open up, and it wasn't as versatile as my 54* y cutter which had more bounce and trailing edge relief.
So i sent to Chris Murchie at Tour Technologies who gave it some more bounce, and some heel, toe and trailing edge relief - a blended C grind he called it. Needless to say it came back looking great - the dirty looking thing I sent Chris came back looking gorgeous - looking like a new wedge. Chris is active on this board, username CM.
I find now it opens up a lot easier for the flops... and the narrower sole means I can be more aggressive during my pitching... The wide sole before probably wasnt suited to my swing! I can see myself being a lot more creative now with the extra versatility the grind has afforded me.
I can see myself tinkering with my other wedges now (I've got a 48* y cutter on the way to replace my MX-23 PW) and I'd encourage others to have a look at the grind on their wedges, and get it customised to your style of play, before ho'ing away!!
