I own a few ATV wedges from Taylormade......the only one that I use is the 60 degree.  I do not use the 52 degree or the 50 degree ATV wedges.  As you probably know, there is no option for bounce, what you buy is what you get as TM simply does not make different bounce options for each wedge.

At times this has been a problem for me since I have been playing golf for less than a year. The problem that I find is that because my ball striking is not as good as someone that has been playing for years and years, when the course is very wet and very soft, I find that the edge of the club digs too much into the turf behind the ball (I know that if I just hit the ball first that this would not be an issue, unfortunately this is a work in progress for me).  I found that the problem of this "scalping" of the ground is much worse on the 50 and 52 so I play the old XFT TM wedges with those lofts because I have found that the club is more forgiving on fat shots than the ATV wedges.

I like the 60 degree though.  It took a while to adjust to it but since I am new to golf this was going to be the case with any wedge I chose.  In summary, to answer the question you posed, if you are an experienced solid player that makes good contact and understands how to each different shots, I think the ATV wedge would be great.  If you are the opposite then you may want to go a different way.  Hope this helps....good luck!

UPDATE: Purchased two ATV wedges, 52 and 56 degrees. I love them, they just glide off the surface of the turf. Anyone wanting to get them, they are well worth the money!

Have you ever tried vokeys? I have a older vokey looking to get a new one, just wonder how they compare if you've used them.

No I haven't. But if this helps any, I did have some cleveland cg-16 wedges and they were good but in my opinion not as good as the atv.

keller19xc they do really well, for me they make the ball pop out of the sand very very easily!

Like I said, I've used Cleveland and don't get me wrong they're good. But the ATV makes some of those tricky shots a lot easier. In my opinion.

I have the 54 and 58 atv. Got them both for $110 used on ebay in great condition and I couldn't be happier. Before I purchased I found a great thread, on this site I believe, where TM sent wedges to users for review. The reviews were very positive so I bought a pair and haven't looked back. I haven't used the competitors products since I am new to the game and these are my first high dollar wedges, but they do work as advertised: the sole is versatile, has enough bounce for sand or anything else you want to do.

I recently purchased the 52*, 56* and 60* ATV wedges and they are pretty much my favourite clubs ever. The 56* and 60* wedges are amazing out of the sand and around the green, while I've found the 52* wedge is also brilliant as a full swing club. Can't recommend them highly enough.

I had a Wilson Di9 56* and never could get used to it. I decided to give this wedge a shot (same degree, 56), and I have to say, one of the best things I have put in my bag. My consistency has tripled and my chipping has become the best part of my game. Great feel off of the fringe and out of bunkers. The only negative thing I can say about it is that I can't hit a SW 100 yds anymore. For some reason, I can only get about 80 yds out of it now. It produces a ton of backspin and I'm able to hold greens a lot more now. I really enjoy this wedge.

      Of course. I've used different words to start, but like 90-95% of the time it's been this one. And I'm unlikely to switch now.

      Angle is not a factor. I hit the ball 100’ high. Par is net birdie. My CH is 16. The rough between the bunkers is like 10’ wide though. That’s not something you’re going to try to hit on purpose. Most of the area to the left of that is fescue/native vegetation and I’m pretty sure there isn’t a flat lie in any of it. It’s the second hole.

      Hello all.  I'm about to be 57 yrs old, started playing when I was 16, and have quit and restarted the game more times than I can count.  I had started playing a weekly round with a friend, and finally made the jump to Senior A shafted Tour Edge clubs.  Instantly gained 10 yds with an easier swing (why didn't I make that jump sooner???).  Glad to be a part of the group. Cheers all,

      I think I like this hole.  It is a clear "Risk-Reward" choice.  Since most of the shots in your cone cleared the bunkers I would say they are a minor risk and not a big issue.  Playing the aggressive line may give you 70ish yards in from what looks to be playable rough while conservative play is 120ish from fairway.  I know you said 70 vs 120 is minor for you but how does the approach angle in impact your results?  I figure both strategies are playing for Birdie since holing out from either is mostly luck. Looking at your proximity hole I think it says @ 50 feet when hitting from the fairway from 100-150 and 40 feet if hitting 50-100 from the rough.  Neither of those is an easy birdie putt.   I like the approach angle from the rough between the bunkers & the adjacent tees over the angle from @ 120 in the fairway but I really do not like the idea of hitting onto the adjacent tee boxes and that may impact my confidence with making the shot.  Also, too far left may be a worse approach angle then from the fairway short of the bunkers. For me this may come down to how confident do I feel when I reach that tee box.  If I am stroking it well off the tee leading up to the hole I would try for over the bunkers and the better angle in but if I am struggling that day I would likely opt for the fairway to take more bad stuff out of play.
