PLAYER COMMENTS
L “I chunked one on purpose, and it still felt good.” … “Love the narrower neck. Went through the sand well, and it has a nice, heavy sole.”
M “Ask it to get out of the sand, and it will give you a makable putt.” … “Simple, modern yet classic.”
H “This looks like an iron for better players, not a wedge. But it’s surprisingly
delicate on shorter chips.”
HOT Too often boutique brands are about style rather than substance. Not here. This wedge is smartly conceived and constructed, framed by a short-game programme and philosophy that the larger brands haven’t attempted.
