OK, I've lived in Japan a third of my life now, and I've seen a lot of crazy stuff over the years... but this takes the cake! (pun intended):

They made a wedge of that design 10 years ago or so, here in the States, can't remember the name of the wedge for the life of me, but my brother-in-law use to own one.

Nice find!

Pretty sure they're related.

Has anyone ever hit any of those? the sole alone makes it look unusable to me.

I really wonder what in the world went through the head of the guy who thought it'd be cool to have that in his bag.

I hit my brother-in-laws, total waste of money in my opinion, it had such an odd look it was impossible to get comfortable hitting.  The odd shape made it tough to hit the ball solid, it might have been okay in soft fine sand, but that's about it.

One of my friends has this old-as-hell set of clubs, and one of those Alien Wedges was in it. I couldn't help but to think that, at address, I was using a spatula to hit a golf ball.

The Alien: Slam it like an Axe under the ball in deep rough or sand and the ball will pop up.

The feel: An Axe feels better. That's probably the reason that no major manufacturer bought them out.

I want to say Adams made a more classic looking version of the alien wedge. It didn't look the same but at address it had a very similar set up to an alien wedge. I'm not positive it was adams but that's what's sticking in my mind.

I still have an old alien wedge in the garage.  I used to use it as a "really lofted" L wedge.  But it just is a curiosity in my garage now.

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable…

      By collegefbfan ·

      Yeah.  As far as remaining still, I was thinking body rotates around the spine like an axis.  Instead of pivoting, some like me, sway, come off that axis, leave weight on back foot, etc.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By iacas ·

      I apologize on behalf of… idiot men. Sorry about that. Next time, tell the guy to shut up. 😛  Day 553, May 8, 2024 18 holes from the whites with @rwolfe. Windy AF today, but hit some good shots. Slid back a little from where I was the previous two days, but… I can get it back. Made a pretty nifty birdie on 12 from some pretty odd places. 😄

      The angles look fine. Get as much light as you can on the area — you want the highest shutter speed you can get. Less blur.

      2024 TST Birdie Challenge

      By Sammydreep ·

      Snap @ Tour Spoon! Birdied 11 yesterday. Hit a poor iron ,stopped on edge of bunker , pitch with my lob wedge landed about 6’ away and went in. Only 12 & 14 to go, long par5’s into the prevailing wind. Might be waiting a while although I did have about 15’ on 12 after the birdie on 11, didn’t miss by much.

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By RandyBobbitt ·

      Tested the Maxfli TourS yesterday. Compared to my former ball, the Titleist AVX, I got an extra 10 yards off the driver and half a club (5-7 yards) off the irons. The combined extra yardage from the driver and fairway wood meant that on par-5s where I usually hit an 8-iron third shot, I hit a PW. It's just a smidgen softer than the AVX and seems to spin well. Some of the reviews indicated a low ball flight, but I did not notice it. I also did not observe any problems with the paint quality, which was an issue with previous Maxfli models up to and including the U series.  My previous round I tested the Bridgestone E6, a two-piece ball with a different cover. It was OK; the same distance and feel as the AVX but with less spin.
