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.

      Winter Depression Thread

      By JetFan1983 · Posted

      You know what, I have thought about moving to Arizona a little bit, but I do love the winters here. It really is nice down here from like November thru March. And I totally would do a home setup thing, I really should, but my stupid tennis elbow is really so easily flared up. It's getting better every month with dry needling, but it's so annoying too. I do think I'm finally solving the root causes thru both the dry needle treatments and fixing this steepness/toe strike thing. The former actually does heal it and learning how to plane the club correctly reduces the trauma the elbow takes because of the increase in sweet spot hits. I really should just do a trip to Scottsdale though, I went there once many years ago and it was a beautiful place. Didn't play golf at the time so I really should go. I'd love to get away from the humidity too. And I know there are great mats out there, like at Golf Evolution for example I've been told. In my case, I will hit foam balls off a mat sometimes at home and that has some of the effects of actually hitting a ball while reducing the impact. And this is maybe a topic for another thread, but I've found just making air swings to be more beneficial to me than I originally thought -- that going really fast and not hitting a ball shows my flaws quite a bit too. I'll film myself just making fast air swings inside and trying to fix it. It's almost like speed training except if speed training included trying to make a really technically sound swing on top of it. Hopefully this comment isn't too much of a tangent, but It is the winter depression thread, so maybe tangents about what to do with oneself indoors with golf is okay. Appreciate it though, I really have thought about Arizona a couple times over the last year at least.

      Day 23: chipped in the garage with foam balls. Focused on crisp contact. Did mostly lower chips but mixed in some higher ones. Slightly more open stance, plus ball more toward middle, plus higher handle led to the best results. Need to keep those 3 things in mind.

      Day 2: Worked on distance wedge swing feels. The feel for me is to keep the upper body down more while straightening the lead leg.

      Day 18 (September 22).  I understand the two club drill better, and was alternating that and hitting a few smooth 6-iron shots;  indoors, off a mat, into the net.  I spent about 20 minutes on this thus far tonight.

      I don't know your family or work situation, but have you considered relocating to Arizona?  I was out there the past month or so and played quite a few times;  it's hot, but not humid.   Or, if your house is sufficient size, consider setting up an indoor practice area, so at least when the weather or your schedule isn't cooperating, you can still hit a few. ... said Shindig, who has routinely disappeared for months, sometimes a year or more, at a time because of getting busy at work and just quietly sobs to himself as he walks past the room where his mat and net are during that time.  Dang, I need to not allow that to happen again.
