Anyone who has used these clubs, what did you think? I'm looking to get 54º and 58º wedges to replace my Cleveland CG10s and these are a great value. I was wondering how they compare to some of the better known wedges and if they are worth the price or am I better off saving some more cash and getting some CG15s or Vokeys? Thanks.

My brother in law bought a set of watson wedges 2 or 3 years ago and he likes them a lot. I think they look good but I'm lefty and he's a right so I haven't hit them. There's other posts about them on here if you search but if I remember correctly most of the feedback was positive.

I've played all kinds of wedges from numerous manufacturers-including Vokeys, Clevelands, Scratch, Mizuno, PING, etc.  I have 3 Adams TW PVD wedges and 1 TW Classic wedge.  My two all-time favorite wedges are my MacGregor MT Pro DW 58/10* and my Adams TW PVD 60/7*.  If anything, they feel a tad softer than my Vokey.  So, (imo of course) they are as good as anything else, and are literally 1/3-1/5 the price of just about anything else.

I played them for a few months. they were a bit heavy for me but could be different for others. they did their job and for the price you can't beat it if you are trying to save some cash. only thing i didn't like was the spin. of course from the fairways and hitting down on it it will spin but i can tell you they spin no where near as much as vokeys or mizunos. not sure about cleveland because i've never hit them. night and day from the rough, with the vokey you can get it to roll out a couple feet out of some tough stuff, with the watson, you have to play for a lot more roll. some might like it but i just felt i didn't have as much control as i wanted. but 3 wedges for $100 is hard to pass on for something that can get the job done

I respect your opinion, but I've played these wedges for well over a year, along with the other wedges I mentioned-and they spin as much as anything else.  I agree that they are a tad heavier than some other wedges, but I like that.  Plus the 3 wedge set can be had right now for about $70.

Thanks for the input fellas.  I guess I can't really lose with these wedges.  I was looking at some other wedges today at the local Golf Galaxy and I can get the set of three for less than a single wedge of the others.  Thanks again.

I saw them on there.  Great price.  I was looking for the "high launch" set 54/58/64, but may just go for these at this price.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus.

      2026 TST Birdie Challenge

      I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
