Geoff: The satin finish was a bit shiny for me, but the shape is great.
Dan: A very impressive club, but I personally prefer the look of the Nike V-Rev wedge.
James: The feel is good and the leading edge sits nicely. I have used this on the course and seen the benefits of the grooves first-hand.

Best Feel
Mizuno MP T-11
WHAT WE THOUGHT
“The feel is solid and soft at the same time and the head shape is gorgoeous. Utter class, but quite unforgiving” Joe
“I love the shapes, I love the feel – it doesn’t really get any better for me. A players’ wedge but not intimidating. I prefer the Black Nickel finish” Dan
“Good overall. I just found it hard to get excited about” James

Best for better players
Titleist Bob Vokey Spin Milled c-c
WHAT WE THOUGHT
“Good weight, good feel, but I’m not convinced by the head shape. There’s a fantastic array of lofts and bounce options – a big plus for fitting” James
“This has to be the best better-player wedge. Looks brilliant, sits great, sounds perfect and is versatile. Unless you need forgiveness, faultless” Dan

Easiest to use
Cleveland CG16
WHAT WE THOUGHT
“This was one of my favourites. It is easy to control” Geoff
“The more I used it, the more I liked it. Initially it felt slightly ‘clicky’ but I got used to it. Slightly large head makes it really playable” Dan
