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.

They have the Adams Golf- Tom Watson PVD 3-Wedge Set on RBG.com for 69.99, not sure of the price at Golf Galaxy.

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.

    • Day 9: 2026.01.11 Hit some balls at the range, concentrating on weight distribution at address, got some on film.
    • Day 468 - 2026-01-11 Loooooong day. Did some work in the patio door (as a mirror) when I got home.
    • I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
