I'm a 2 handicap, so i buy a wedge for versatility and spin. This is a great wedge, but there is a little issue with me... My favorite shot is a low piercing wedge with a butt-load of spin that takes a giant hop and then zips back to its ball mark. This wedge is designed for a variety of higher lofting shots, so i have to manipulate the club to get a lower ball flight. While it's no fun changing your game around a club, I have found that with practice, i can still get that hop and spin action, just a little higher ball flight. This wedge's grooves are just awesome by the way. After awhile, you can create a circle mark where you hit it, which is awesome, and the grooves are still completely fresh like a new wedge. This wedge is indestructible. I love it, and the thought of a replacement because of groove wear has never entered my mind as the groove integrity is good as new. A plus side to the wedge also is that it doesn't completely tear the ball apart (which does not translate to lesser amounts of spin, you naysayers.) :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: I have the 56 deg. with low bounce.

I tried it out a little and really liked the feel. Even on the longer shots it felt as if i was barely hitting the ball and the club seemed to generate a good amount of spin as I could either stop the ball dead or occasionally spin it back a bit. What I found strange about the club though was that after only a few hits the face had already begun to appear worn and the grey color on the face insert was already really wearing off. Also, there were a few chips in the club already after 20 or so shots. Overall though, I found it to be a very well-designed club that worked very well for me and I believe that, if it really lasts as long as they say it does, it is worth the extra money.

I don't expect to spin a ball back 1+ feet. But I guess for a mid HC there could be at least two types of people. Those that can deal with wearing soon with cheaper clubs and adapt quick and those who would rather spend more money early to keep clubs longer. For someone like me that can't even get 120 for a vokey (curse of still being in school) getting 150 seems like a big challenge. I also don't know if I would stray away from the more known wedges. Not that Pelz and Jesse Ortiz doesn't give a true name. But there is a reason that titleist and cleveland are still at the top.

I was considering a Cleveland or a Titleist wedge being that they were successful clubs and a good place to start. I stumbled on the Bobby Jones wedges while watching the golf channel. I subscribed to the whole idea of the new age metal that Jesse Ortiz was using to insert in the club head figuring the extra forty or so dollars I 'd be spending wouldn't be a big loss especially if the club does last a considerable amount of time longer than the ones now available. The 52 degree gap wedge has been a great addition to my bag and has been a laser within a 110 yards for me. I look forward to shots at the range because I feel confident with this club. Shortly after I went out and replaced my sand wedge with a Bobby Jones. It's to early to tell if the technology is true about the club face lasting as long as they promote it last but I love the look feel of these clubs.

Is there some leading edge relief. I like what Cleveland is doing with the DSG and Callaway with the C-grind. tnx Do you have any feedback on the sole grind? Is there some leading edge relief.
