Best for

You want the latest forged PXG wedge with a choice of two grinds, tons of greenside and bunker spin, and forgiving full swings - around £170.

Avoid if

You need a 62° lob wedge or the very softest milled feel - look at the Sugar Daddy line or a multi-grind tour wedge.

Pros

  • Golf Digest 2026 Hot List Silver - the panel found full swings very forgiving, with minimal loss on off-centre hits
  • Two sole grinds (BP with 13° bounce, S with 10°) plus excellent bunker performance in both firm and soft sand
  • Tons of spin, especially greenside and from the bunker, from wider, tighter-spaced grooves
  • Shapes anything - high, low, left, right, flop or runner

Cons

  • Feel split testers - soft for some, firmer for others
  • Six lofts only (50-60°) - no 62° lob option
  • Premium forged pricing around £170+ without the 100% milling of the Sugar Daddy line

By dimension

Feel

Excellent

Soft, refined forged feel with a caveat - the three-times forging gives a tighter, more uniform grain that delivers a softer feel at impact, with a clean, crisp feel and solid feedback, though feel split testers between soft and firm. The medium-soft 8620 carbon steel feel of the forged line carries through. A very good, if not unanimous, forged feel.
