Just wondering if any you guy's have purchased or demo'd these wedges? And if so, are they worth trying?

I wouldn't recommend doing that at this time. We're waiting for the "OK" for them to send us some wedges for review. I believe they've had some issues with the glue that bonds the face material to the rest of the clubhead.

So it's been a couple weeks and just seeing if anyone's using them yet. And if so, what do you think of them?

I have demo'd them. I loved all of them. THey have a great feel and spin the heck out of the ball. Wasnt willing to pay that much for wedges, but thought they were as good as anything else out there.

I don't see how they can possibly be better than a Vokey Spin Milled, and at $40 more there's no way I'm buying one.

Well, I have $170.00 store credit at my local shop, and I'm really not happy w/ my current wedges so I thought I'd just start with a 56* and go from there. Still on the fence though. I hit a couple yesterday and they felt nice. I like the fact that they actually have bounce options.

Bounce options? Other wedges have bounce options too, and more loft options as well. Not sure what you mean by that.

supposedly they have created the face out of a super durable material that will last much longer and stay spinnier (sp? if its even a word) for much longer than other wedges on the market. if the wedges last 5-6 seasons as opposed to 2-3 seasons then the extra $40 is definately worth it. I guess we will have to wait for the review to find out if these wedges live up to their infomercial.

In my freestyle:
Driver: 10.5* G5 with UST V2
F.W. wood: 16* retro raylor with Aldila HM-40 Tour Gold
Irons: i5 3-pw. Stiff cs lite shafts
Wedges: 8620 51*, 56*, and 60* Putter: classics 1 34""Life is tough. It's tougher if you're stupid." -John Wayne

Just a joke because of the whole "infomercial" thing. That's all.

I doubt these things are going to last anyone 5 seasons if they can't even keep the face on the club.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      To flog this subject even further, if that's even possible, this article from Golf Monthly just appeared today in one of my news feeds. Written by a golf writer in the UK who I never heard of, he's basically saying that there should be only 3-5 rounds from the most recent 20 that should count towards the average and only competitive rounds should count. He claims the erratic scorers would have less of an advantage than they do now. He makes a lot of references to "club golfers" in the UK being the ones who are mostly dissatisfied. https://share.google/qmZZBEoJvOxHxJGil  In my experience with my league where we have golfers with indexes ranging from 5 to 40, looking at the weekly results from the past two years, I can detect no pattern that would substantiate the claim that the current system gives an unfair advantage to either erratic golfers (aren't we all?) or higher handicappers. Apparently though, at least in the UK, this seems to be "a thing."
