I have an ancient (well, not that ancient --- about 12 years old) Wilson Staff Sand Wedge that has been in the bag for all 12 years, but I can tell the face is worn down a bit.
I adore the club, and have several different shots I can hit with it from about 85 yards and in. Flops, runners, pitches, etc... but it might be time to replace her.
What I want to know is how do these new, spin milled, sharp groove wedges treat golf balls?
I only play medium high to high spin balls, ranging from Maxfli Revolutions and Tour Fires on up to the super soft spinners in the Pro V1 class. I regularly hit crisp iron shots that take one or two hops and sit with the mid to long irons, or perhaps spin back a few feet to a yard or two with my short irons. If you look under my username, you'll see a description of my divots that might give you an idea if I take a descending blow or not...
What I really want to know is do these new wedges shred the cover on balls on full swings?
