Finally, some forged wedges and not the cast Titleist stuff! Nice wedges indeed. Rick, don't focus so much on the grooves regarding spin. Its the surface friction that primarily creates spin. The grooves help remove material (and help in the rain and such) to allow for more surface friction (they are not the primary source of the spin! golf myth#1 lol). Golf myth #2: "Trees are 90% air". Well yes they are WHEN MEASURED BY VOLUME. But in terms of side-on obstruction they are MOSTLY branches and leaves! Myth #3: Practising close chips at a golf range... Dont use range balls to improve ones accuracy on chipping! As soon as you get on the course with your proper gamer ball your touch, feel and precise distancing will have to alter and adjust! Bad practice folks. (rant over). Good vid Rick. Thanks.

Got these in 50 54 and 60 in the chrome finish and I agree probably the best all round wedge I've used. The bottom extra groove really helps those slow spinny wedges into the greens.and helps you align club face as it sits so square.. they are a must try

Absolutely love these wedges! I carry the 50, 54, & 58. Played my first round with them in the bag a Saturday and had a lot of fun just trying different shots; used the 50 off the tee on a short par 3, can either hit a thin 54 or a fat 58, great out of the bunkers, high shots and quick stops. Great job Callaway! Nice video as usual Rick! Thanks for doing what you do!

I game a 50,56 and 60 these. Fantastic wedges. Don't know if Rick mentioned it, but they only come in 1 sole grind/bounce angle in each loft. Supposedly relying on the skill of the player to deliver and manipulate the club head and attack angle for desired shot. These are not an easy wedge to use. But when you get it right they are so so good. Feel and control in abundance. Will take something very special to get these out the bag.

I play these wedges, in the raw finish. The rust will add enough surface roughness to keep your spin up. Just don't clean off the rust. Spin comes from attack angle and strike much more than grooves. Grooves are actually there to promote backspin rather than side spin ;). I know the vid is old but I just wanted to comment. Thanks Rick!

Rick, can you give some insight into the bounce on wedges, as in: why go for 8 or 10 or 14 degrees of bounce? I think I noticed your 60 degree was 8 and the 56 degree was 10.
@BooWayn
7 жыл бұрын
The proper bounce depends on two things. Your angle of attack and surface conditions you are playing on. If you come into the ball with a steep angle, you need more bounce to keep the club from digging into the ground. With a shallow angle, less bounce works better as you glide the edge across the ground. Surface conditions are also a factor because less bounce usually works better on hard ground surfaces and more bounce on soft or wet surfaces. Hope that helps. Best of luck to ya mate.

I like to have a low and a highish bounce wedge in my bag at the same time. So my 60 has 5 and my 56 has 11 stamped on them. My usage of the low bounce: chips from very short grass (dormant grass in winter), hardpan, wet bunkers (perfect after it has rained), when the sand is compact you can produce the best stopping bunker shots :-) high(er) bounce: rough in general, definitely when the ball sits on top of tufts of grass, fluffy/soft sand in bunkers It's all well and good to hear this from Rick, Geoff or me, but what really helps is to go with two different bounce wedges to the short game practice area and find out for yourself. It's only then that you'll KNOW what shot is best for YOU in each and every situation. Happy Weekend! :-)

Interesting they did a blind test with PGA Pros a few years ago and the fact is that once the pros had Ear defenders on (so they were effectively deaf), the pros could not tell a cast club from a forged club.What was proved in the end was that Feel is in fact a result of hearing not feeling it through the hands, that butter soft feel is in fact a sound not a feeling.

Yes I think I said that in earlier reply Slim, I am a clubmaker as well so yes forged clubs are indeed made from carbon steel and do indeed wear out quicker than cast clubs. So feel is actually a sound not a feeling. , also a rubber grip absorbs a lot the vibrations from a ball being struck.
