Why We Like It
- The heads are milled to the final shape for precise sole grinds, bounce angles and shape consistency.
- Wider grooves channel debris and allow the cover of the ball to engage with the grooves better, enhancing spin and trajectory control. Tighter groove spacing allows one more groove (16 compared to 15 on the Sugar Daddy II) for slightly more edge grab.
- PXG removed eight grams from the middle of the clubhead and shifted it to the top and bottom to enhance forgiveness.
- PXG used variable-depth ports in the sole of the higher lofts to move weight upward to help maintain trajectory control. Less weight is shifted upward on the lower lofts where full shots are more prevalent and a flatter trajectory isn’t as important.
- The BP Grind (named after company founder and CEO Bob Parsons) features a generous 12 degrees of bounce, a blunt leading edge and a wider sole with minimal taper in the heel and toe areas. These traits make for a very playable, forgiving wedge for a variety of shots.
- Top 5 in Sound/Feel, high-handicaps.
- 6 options (50-60 degrees), 3 grinds, 2 finish

Fantastic spin and performance out of the sand. That’s it’s best attribute. Great interaction with the sand and greenside turf. Full shots were just okay. The face felt hard and took some getting used to.

It's strong in every area. Plays like a good iron on full swings. Good spin and distance. Easy to open and hit high, soft-landing shots out of the sand. Around the greens, you can play it high and soft or hit a low runner. It's got good bite and stopping power.

Out of the sand, you could play any type of shot, regardless of distance and direction. Chunks and skulls seemed impossible. Also true of greenside shots. I think it's because the leading edge isn't as sharp as others, and doesn't dig.

Everything clicked with these wedges. Excellent flight and spin control. Didn’t matter where I was hitting from, if I wanted to spin it, it would spin. If I needed it to release, it did that, too. I see why they call it Sugar Daddy because this will make you some money on the course.

High toe and full-face grooves convey forgiveness. Got a nice pop out of the bunker. Club cut right through the sand and dropped the ball softly on the green. I liked the combination of forgiveness and power I got on full swing shots. It felt like the ball came off the face with energy and found and stayed on its line quickly.

Bigger face and high toe are very forgiving. I tend to toe my wedge shots, so the high toe is helpful even though I don't like the look. Club easily glides through the turf and the ball, and pops off the face well. It barely felt like I was making contact.

Megan

Really loved the look and versatility of this club. I like the full-faced grooves on the higher-lofted wedges, which allows you to hit the ball off the toe and still get good performance.

Alejandra

Very soft feeling on both short and long swings. Despite softness, the ball got to where it was going in a hurry. Visually not so appealing. Makes me think I'm going to present the hosel to the ball before the clubface. I didn't feel very confident out of the bunker as a result.

Jack

The milled sole gives these wedges a nice feeling through the grass. It almost acts like a rudder on a boat, straightening the club out. Mis-hits turned out fine. I think I know why: There's more meat back there than you realize. The head feels heavy, but it's got some ups to it.

Anand

I like the weight behind the club. It looks like there's some serious tech in there. The ball was flying off the face on full shots. I just couldn't get over the fact it was so firm on every shot. Love the grooves on the 58° being all the way across the club, which helps with spin.

Molly

Launch was low but very spinny; so, if you're someone who hits a very high ball and you want to bring the ball flight down and still stop it on a dime, this may be the club for you.

Robert

Ball just flies straight. Period. Even on mis-hits it went straight on line. Big spinner around the green. Full-face grooves deliver a ton of grab. High-spinning bunker shots were easy. Low, running shots took more effort.

Alan

It's unbeliavable on mis-hits! Heel and toe shots. Thin and chunked shots. All the shots you get penalized for with a wedge performed essentially the same. They hit the same window no matter what.

Jamie

In the sand, I was able to hit it close from any lie. Fried eggs even popped out like a jack-in-the-box. A real sand wizard. Not as impressive on full shots. Impact felt firm and clicky.

Matt

It's definitely a softer wedge. You can feel the ball compress against the clubface. The leading edge rips through the sand, providing super versatility from the bunker.
Extremely nippy and spinny off the grass.

Wayne

Probably one of the top two or three wedges as far as height goes. Felt soft going through the ball but still had plenty of distance and spin on full shots. Performance was more inconsistent on greenside shots. If you hit the ball in the center of the face, it came out high and soft, but if you mis-hit it off the toe or heel, it might come off dead.

Alex
40, Handicap 11

I could do just about anything with these clubs. Lots of touch around the greens and plenty of bite. No lie in the bunker proved too difficult. Even mis-hits spun quickly, and I'm not even a high-spin player. Predictable trajectory and spin on full shots.

Tighter-spaced grooves mean more groove edges on the ball for increased spin but with a lower, more controllable launch.
The offset groove-in-groove design creates spin when opening the face.
A new face blast provides extra bite on partial shots, especially out of the rough or wet grass when you need surface roughness and friction to prevent the ball from sliding up the face.

Cleveland uses a proprietary steel alloy that features a tighter grain structure for a softer feel. It also saves six grams.
In its raw state, the alloy has the benefit of not rusting over time as other steel alloys tend to do, preserving the look and performance of the grooves.
The ZipCore material in the hosel saves weight, some of which is moved low and toward the toe where golfers tend to it hit. The rest of the saved weight is used to make the hosel longer and wider to increase forgiveness.

The grooves are supported by laser-etched diagonals on the flat area between each scoreline to increase spin on partial shots and prevent spin loss in wet conditions.
By increasing the thickness of the flange in an area more in line with the center of the face, TaylorMade was able to improve the sound.

To promote a slightly lower, more controllable ball flight, the SM10 line features shorter hosel lengths and a smaller-head profile to create a progressive center of gravity in the 46- through 52-degree lofts.
Tour-player feedback resulted in shifting the center of gravity on those lofts slightly closer to the center of the face for a solid feel and to reduce a draw bias.
By using longer hosel lengths and thicker toplines in the higher lofts (54 degrees and up), Vokey was able to shift the center of gravity up (for a lower trajectory) and slightly forward, which enables the face to square more easily.

Wedges are nothing without spin. The grooves are produced using a CNC milling process and feature a new face blast to help improve performance in wet conditions.
For versatility, Cobra went back in time and updated the popular “notch” grinds in the high-lofted wedges based on the old designs made by short-game guru Phil Rodgers. The progressive-notch design allows the contact area in the heel to glide through faster when opening the face on the 58- and 60-degree models.
The wedges are manufactured from 8620 carbon steel using a metal-injection-molding process that produces tighter manufacturing tolerances, reducing the need for hand polishing that can lead to inconsistencies.

The computer-milled sole grinds eliminate excessive hand work in the manufacturing process for more consistency club to club.
Laser-etched ribs between the grooves create additional surface friction. Called “spin tread,” the rows of diagonal lines between the grooves are designed to redirect moisture to create cleaner contact with the groove edges.

By altering its manufacturing requirements, Wilson was able to produce a groove design with a steeper angle in the groove. That leads to less loss of spin from the rough and wet conditions while reducing the chances of the dreaded flyer.
The direction of the face milling was changed from being concave up to concave down. This makes the mill lines perpendicular to the club path on open-faced shots, leading to increased interaction with the ball for spin retention.
A Garnet blast is applied to add microscopic peaks and valleys to the face that help dig into the cover of the ball on chip shots for increased spin.
