Yet another golf product email hit my spam box, the Moon Wood, which held some interest due to its length of 38" mainly. I have been playing with the whole single length thing recenlty with some success, but at the long end (say the 4 hybrid/iron), the shorter length just makes it very difficult to hit the single length club high enough. This problem has been mentioned many times for single length systems from big name brands also. This Moon wood promises short shaft yet very high launch using extreme low COG, but the $179 price is not exactly throwaway price. Another question is the distance these things would actually produce on course due to the short shaft (38"), loft (25 degrees), and claimed high trajectory. https://www.c3igolf.com/get/moonwood/

Oberholser used to pitch the XE1 wedge, and now he pushes the C3i wedge. ?same company different name. I have a 65 degree XE1 wedge, which is basically the C3i, for two purposes: bunker shots and trouble shots from DEEP rough. I don't practice bunker shots enough to be consistent with normal wedges, especially under pressure during rounds. 65 degree wide bottom wedge gets me out almost every time. Also when in very deep rough (or on extreme hard surface), it also gets me out much easier than normal wedges. On the other hand, it is not versatile enough to be used like a normal wedge for normal chipping, pitching, etc. So if your bag has room, it's actually a good club to have. As others have mentioned, one does not have to spend big money. Other wide sole wedges are available on ebay, from Cleveland Smart sole line, Alien wedge, Tour Edge 1out Plus, etc.

LOL. Calling it square strike "wedge," does not change the fact it's a good old chipper. It does seem like a nice chipper, but not for $100. eBay has tons of chippers for little $ if one wants to try one...
