Busy was my first thought as well. Not a fan of the gold and white paintfills. Then again I was never a fan of the white paintfill on the soles either. Why not all black the double C logo centred on the back of the flange with "forged" stamped onto the hosel.

Could have just gone with the Japan version then.

That's the first thing that popped into my head. I wonder if they still have that weird Cleveland leading edge.

Better. Centred logo and you gotta have "Tour Action" on there somewhere.  I even like the pins. Eye of the beholder and all that.

Your version would grow on me pretty quickly once I got to hit them.

Yeah, I also think the new ones are far too busy cosmetically. But as long as they didn't screw up the shape or grind, a re-release of maybe the best wedge ever made is a good thing in my opinion.

I like the appropriately-named CRAZY wedge at $750. Sold out, sorry!

Geez. I wouldn't pay anything over about $110 for a wedge. They just wear down way too fast.

If they toned down the graphics on the back (off-centre golden Vokeyesque CG logo is just wrong, and "Tour Action" and Reg. 588 are missing) I'd be all over this wedge, but probably I'll stick with my old 588s, Hogans, and Mizunos. Been looking for a replacement for my 17 year old Mizuno Pros - nothing yet.

      My Swing (billchao)

      By billchao ·

      Went to a PING fitting day today. Going to be ordering a G430 Max 3w with a 75g x-stiff shaft at 5w length and a 3h. I forget what my fitter did with the shaft on that but she told me she’s going to email the club the specs of everything. The 3w combination we found pretty quickly. As for the hybrid, we tried a bunch of different head and shaft combinations for that distance with mixed results. Then she handed me the 3h and I took three swings with it and knew it was the one.

      Yeah, this isn't sandbagging. It's outright cheating. He should be banned.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By billchao ·

      That’s quite a generalization. It’s clear that you don’t like water but there are plenty of us that drink it just fine. My daily intake is usually about 20oz of black coffee, 16oz of soda, 8oz of milk mixed into a protein shake, and anywhere between 30-60oz of water. It doesn’t even need to be cold and I kind of prefer it closer to room temperature than cold. I quite like the taste of tap water, with sole exception being the tap water at Magic Kingdom (it’s terrible). I can’t stand when people bring me tap water with a lemon wedge in it. I didn’t ask for lemon in my water.

      By billchao ·

      This is the part I don’t get. He’s not even kind of sandbagging, he’s blatantly doing it and submitting scores that are verified to be incorrect. How he’s not banned from competition is beyond me.
