using a circular cutting tool for added depth and consistent edges. A
new Oil Can finish absorbs distracting glare (the original Tour Chrome
finish also is available).

to other models. In other words, they spin the ball like crazy.
Advantages: The textured face and deep grooves help golfers gain added bite around the greens.

 Combining a sleek gunmetal finish with sharp, deep grooves, the Tw7 wedges spin the ball from every lie imaginable.
Features: Cast from 431 stainless steel, the Tw7 sports a gunmetal finish that cuts sun glare. Its classic head shape is a favorite among lower-handicappers.
Advantages: Don’t worry, the grooves are legal, but they’re deeper and sharper than most wedges. Designed by Ireland’s favorite golfer, Padraig Harrington, the Tw7’s squared edges result in more spin, bite and better control.
Benefits: An asset for golfers looking for a good-looking wedge that performs.

(800) 469-4576 | $99
 The
beautiful Fw6 wedges from Wilson have the look of a throwback club, but
play as well as any new wedge. A thin sole and flatter heel allow
golfers to easily lay the blade open or closed.
Features: The bore-thru shaft and Fluid Feel plug are old school, but work like a charm.
Advantages: The soft, forged construction and resulting feel is ideal.
Benefits: Better players will enjoy the sharp looks of the Fw6, but
that isn’t to say the average player won’t enjoy any benefit.
What We Like: The simplicity of the Wilson Staff logo and limited
writing exudes class, and the sole configuration is simple but
effective.

 Billed
as a Tour wedge, the Cyberstar Forged and its sole grind are designed
for multiple functions. The radiused leading edge prevents excessive
digging and the smooth center section enables golfers to hit high or
low shots with ease if the face is square, closed or open.
Features: The oxidation film finish absorbs glare like a sponge, and
the forged construction makes the wedge feel almost as soft as one.
Advantages: This wedge is a tool for shotmaking, but it’s also surprisingly forgiving.
Benefits: Low-handicappers will drool over its looks and spin rates,
but players of all skill can benefit from such a handsome wedge.
