Where it wins
- Feel85
- Looks85
- Sound84
Watch
Rated highest for feel and looks; its softest dimension is forgiveness.
You want maximum greenside spin and creativity - a high-toe, full-face wedge for flops, open-face shots and shots from tight lies, especially in the wet.
You want a clean chrome finish with no upkeep, or a conventional full-swing gapping wedge - a milled players' wedge suits better.
Pros
- Elite greenside spin - ZTP RAW grooves and a raw face that rusts to add friction, especially in the wet
- Full-face scoring lines (56-62°) for spin and control on open-face and toe shots
- Hugely versatile - every short-game shot from pitches to flops from tight lies
- Sharp, pleasing feel and excellent turf interaction
Cons
- The raw face rusts over time by design - it needs a little maintenance
- A distinctive high-toe profile - not to everyone's taste at address
- More a greenside-spin and versatility tool than a precise full-swing gapping wedge
By dimension
Forgiveness
StrongGreenside-forgiving via the full face - the full-face scoring lines on the higher lofts deliver spin and control on shots played toward the toe and with an open face, with good feel and forgiveness around the greens from the high-toe design. More forgiving on creative greenside shots than its compact look suggests, if not a game-improvement head.
Distance
StrongControlled and penetrating - the high-toe design raises the CG for a lower launch and more spin, improving control on full swings, and the raw face retains spin in the wet for consistent distance. Strong distance control, with a penetrating flight.
Workability
ExcellentBuilt for creativity - testers could generate every type of short-game shot, pitches, release shots and higher shots from tight lies, using the high toe and full-face scoring lines, with two grinds (Standard and Low Bounce) and a 4-way cambered sole for versatility. Among the more versatile greenside wedges for shaping and opening the face.
Feel
ExcellentSharp and pleasing - sharp feeling and sounding contact, with pleasing feel off the face and great feel from turf interaction, the strike feeling crisp and satisfying. A clean, sharp wedge feel.
Sound
ExcellentCrisp and clean - sharp sounding contact that pairs with the feel, a pleasing impact note. A sharp, satisfying acoustic.
Looks at address
ExcellentDistinctive and premium - the high-toe profile with a retooled thinner topline (thick-thin head), with striking finishes and premium shaping, though the tall toe is a distinctive look. A purposeful, well-finished head with a unique silhouette.
