Where it wins
- Feel91
- Sound88
- Looks87
Watch
Rated highest for feel and sound; its softest dimension is forgiveness.
You want one of the highest-spinning, best-feeling milled wedges with a grind to match your turf - more forgiving than the original Sugar Daddy, and worth the premium.
You want maximum forgiveness from a big cavity head, or you don't want milled-premium prices - the forged 0311 costs far less.
Pros
- MyGolfSpy 2022 Most Wanted - 3rd overall and 3rd for accuracy, excellent in the wet
- Elite milled feel - somehow soft and firm at once, with a borderline-addictive clippy chip sound
- Bites and checks almost on command - among the highest-spinning wedges, around 11,400 rpm in robot testing
- Two grinds (C 10° for better players and firm turf, BP 13° for lush turf) across 14 loft-bounce combos
Cons
- Player-oriented head - the C grind suits better players; higher handicaps want the BP grind
- Bold milled back with visible tungsten weights - won't suit traditionalists
- Premium pricing - around £450+ per wedge
By dimension
Forgiveness
StrongMore forgiving than the original - the full-face grooves keep spin on imperfect contact, with high-toe weighting moving the CG for open-face shots, the higher toe shape improving MOI forgiveness and giving consistent flight and distance on full shots even on mishits. A genuine step up in miss-tolerance for a player's milled wedge.
Distance
ExcellentElite spin and control - the Sugar Daddy II bites and checks almost on command, ranked 3rd overall and 3rd for accuracy in 2022 robot testing, excellent in the wet. Among the highest-spinning wedges in robot testing, with dependable distance control on the scoring shots.
Workability
ExcellentTour-caliber, now with grind choice - two purpose-built grinds, the C (10 degrees, aggressive taper, for better players and firm turf) and BP (13 degrees, wider, for lush conditions), with precise 100% milling for sharper grinds and shape consistency so a player can hit whatever shot they imagine. Among the more versatile milled wedges for shaping shots.
Feel
Class-leadingElite milled feel - an extremely pleasurable experience, somehow soft and firm at the same time, more solid than the original thanks to the full-face grooves, with a premium 100%-milled sensation. Among the very best wedge feels, a touch firmer than the original Sugar Daddy.
Sound
ExcellentCrisp and addictive - a clippy sound on shorter chips that is borderline addictive, dulling slightly on toe strikes for feedback, a satisfying milled impact note. A clean, premium acoustic.
Looks at address
ExcellentBeautiful and bold - intricate milling and a matte silver finish accented by tungsten weights, with clean near-net-shape milling. A premium, distinctive milled look, if the visible weights divide opinion.
