Callaway Sure Out wedge and Hank Haney

[Hacker James]

Looks as if Haney can't make up his mind who to endorse. He has infomercials on both the Calloway Sure out as well as the XE1 Wedges. Both make similar claims and at first glance, both are pretty much the same design.

I've seen the commercial where the guy hits a perfect flop out of the sand. And I think he sets up normally, right ? One review I saw on XE1 said it really does simplify out of the sand.

Anyway, maybe one designer licensed it to both companies.

He was a TaylorMade guy when they came out with the M1 Series. I don't begrudge him for making money endorsing, but I take his endorsement with that in mind.

Super wide soled wedges have been around for decades.

The Alien wedge was another in this line…

They're "okay" for people who are really not good with wedges, but really, really, really limiting to people who are even a little decent.

Sounds like training wheels?

I have a Cleveland 56 that I occasionally hit an impressive shot with, sometimes just OK, and sometimes bad. But I'd hate to screw that up with some weirdo club.
