Would this be an upgrade in wedges?

[C-Rope1]

The local Dicks Sporting Goods has the Taylormade RAC Satin Wedges for 2 for $100. I was wanting to know, would the Taylormade wedges be an upgrade to the wedges I currently have? I have the Adams Tom Watson wedges currently. I was wondering if it would be a good upgrade, or if I should just put up the money to buy the more expensive wedges. Thanks!

I saw this deal too. But wasnt it a wedge and a putter for 100$? Just checking.

The ad says wedge and a putter, but the guy at the store told me you could get 2 wedges if you wanted.

Nevermind i guess you can get two putters or two wedges for 100$. Or a mix and match. Sorry haha.

JMHO, these would be an upgrade for the OP. These wedges have great feel and feedback. I found them to be more consistant on chips than any wedge I've used. I had the black 56.12 and the 60 in a 7* bounce I think it was? Somewhat underated wedges except by TaylorMade afecinados. At 2 for $100, I don't see how you could go wrong.

I've never been a huge fan of TM wedges, but plenty of people are. I saw this deal and the only thing is these wedges do not have the max grooves (I think TM calls them Zip Grooves or something like that). They are an older model from 2-3 years ago or so. However, the price is right ("Come on down...").

I think I can help a bit.

I started off playing the 3 set of wedges... tom watson adamsgolf wedges.

About a month or so ago I upgraded to a customized to my dimensions/shaft tm z tp wedge.

ITS A HUUUUUUUUUUUGE step up. And that's an understatement.

I get noticibly more spin with my new 54 than I did with my old 56 (I stopped playing the 60 and never really liked the 52...)

I'm not sure how much is the club and how much is the different dimensions (+1" , 4* up, rifle spinner shaft) but my sand wedge 56* distance went from impossible to get past 80 yards... to being able to push 115 with the tm 54*.

Greenside chips had a noticible check compared to the old wedge as well.

At 2 for a $100, I'd say its a steal if you fit standard specs.

I had the black tp wedges which have the "Y-cutter grooves" while my friend had the original racs, and I honestly couldn't tell a big difference between the two in terms of performance. I also think they'd be an improvement over your current wedges at a good price!

i personally just took advantage of this offer. i bought the 56* wedge along with the taylor made rossa putter that is offered. i just hit the 56* wedge for the first time today at the range and i was really happy with it.

with my old sand wedge my range was only 80-100 with a full swing. the dome i hit in was only about 80 yds long but i had no problem hitting the back wall in the air. then i moved over onto the small chipping area/green thats in the dome and worked on a few short chips, basically just pitching on and trying to get close enough for a one putt. i was able to get quite a bit of spin with the club when i opened it up a bit more. definatley happy with the purchase so far. we'll see how i do with it out on the course though.

It would only be an upgrade if you hit the new wedges better than the last two. If you hit your wedges well now, no real reason to switch honestly.

Exactly.

I have the RAC TP Satin wedges and three different sets of the Adams Watson wedges. I like the 2007 Satin Watson wedges the best and that's what I've been gaming for the past year. They look the best at address to me, I like the bounce and sole grind and most importantly I hit them really well. I'd say the RAC TPs are my second favorite wedge and if I had to switch that's what I'd use.

BINGO - we have a winner, play what PLAYS, LOOKS, and FEELS best to you... don't worry about this year v. last year, who else plays it, etc.
