Why We Like It
When you have a proven winner, the temptation is to make modest improvements and move on. Not with these wedges. The amount of weight removed from the lower heel and replaced with the company’s ZipCore compound is nearly double from last year. The compound is a quarter of the weight of the steel it replaces, saving 21 grams that has been moved elsewhere to position the center of gravity toward the toe. This slightly increases the moment of inertia in the heel-toe and high-low directions to help mis-hits.
Characteristics
- Three different versions of ZipCore help maximize the weight saved by loft.
- A new face finish uses sandblasting along with laser patterns for more spin.
- 15 options (46-60, 64 degrees); 4 sole grinds; 1 finish

Reviews
Generates controllable spin. Cuts through sand. Audible thump in the bunker tells me I've taken the right amount of sand. Versatile Can hit hop-and-stop chips as well as bump-and-runs.
Ricky, 45, Handicap: +2Generates tons of spin but is still forgiving. Bounce helps it glide under the ball. Exceptional bunker performance. Plows through the sand. Great distance control. Controllable spin and consistent roll-out.
Alex, 39, Handicap: 11Good trajectory window on full shots. Efficient through the turf and creates dollar-bill divots. Good spin from the sand and even more around the green. Chips check near the hole.
Gary, 36, Handicap: 13This is The Key to Good Wedge Play
A proficient wedge game can turn double bogeys into par saves and drop scores from the mid-90s well into the 80s. In this video, Ashley Moss shows you why solid contact is the first step to dialing in your wedge distances.
