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.

      Feel like you are left side dominant. Keep the back of your glove running through impact. Keeps leading edge down without digging. You will pick them clean with some zip if the grass is nice and generally acceptable results off anything less than ideal. Works with both hingy or dead hand pitches and chips.

      Day 52 (30 Apr 26) - Had planned a solo round, got invited to be part of trio that included a fmr mini tour pro.  Was fun playing back a set of tees and having to stay in my game plan. Both were very engaging and encouraging in the round.  A good day in working through and making smarter shot choices.

      Determining Out of Bounds

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I mean, a golfer is trespassing and damaging property. So, golf rules don’t supersede state laws. 😉 Like, if it isn’t marked and is off golf property. The right thing to do is take an unplayable lie or take stroke and distance.  Also, this is a liability for the course. The homeowner could easily say the course is liable for damage done because they knowingly didn't mark their boundaries which allowed golfers to trespass and damage property.

      Determining Out of Bounds

      By DaveP043 · Posted

      Interestingly enough, if the course (the Committee in Rules terms) doesn't mark the boundaries, there is nothing out of bounds.  I realize that neighboring homeowners would take a dim view of golfers whacking balls from their backyards, but that's what the Definition of Out of Bounds requires. "All areas outside the boundary edge of the course as defined by the Committee."
