thanks! not many people really catch on to that.
the grind of Scratch wedges are unlike any I've seen in retail. the sole, heel & toe relief, make these wedges second to none. trying not to sound like an advertisement, but yeah, the time they take to "fit" you into a proper grind for your swing and wedge game is nice. I was really skeptical at first (even asked about money back guarantee), but after playing with them I am very happy I made this choice. I always struggled with high, medium, and low bounce choices in wedges. the high ones would always bounce off the fairways and the really low ones would dig into bunkers like no other. the medium ones were nice but when opening them up, they would add too much bounce and I would skull a few. I played for 2 years with wedges that I ground myself with a die grind, and I couldn't have been happier. I sharpened them til it literally changed the swingweight. I tried going through all, and I mean all the 2009 Vokey grinds, and none of them felt good to me. so, in long, I went to Scratch. most versatile, most confident inspiring wedge I have ever played. I need it because I miss a lot of greens.
Chikaras are also nice, but they are waaaaaayyyy outta my price range. Miuras are up there too. Maybe after this set I'll try them out, but I'll need to start saving now.
one more thing about the Scratch wedges...the shape is different than other "spoon", "teardrop", shaped wedges. straighter leading edge and shaped more like an iron than a wedge. biggest selling point for me.
