    wacky wedge

    A fellow member of ST pointed me towards an eBay item. Not sure if he was genuine or joking, but I bought it anyways:

    http://cgi.ebay.com/Black-Widow-Nega...em200239762973

    Anyone seen these things? I'm sure they are a gimmick, but should be fun regardless, for 25 bucks, you can't really lose (even though us Canadians have to pay 30 in shipping, same as if it were getting shipped to New Zealand)
    In the Bag:

    S58 2-PW w/ rombax 115i (S)

    Spin Milled 55*
    Special Grind 60* (all with golds)
    Odyssey Tri Hot 35"
    Or

    I was totally serious. You asked for a low- or negative-bounce wedge, and I found you one.

    I hope it works for you.

    What the hell is the point of that?

    At least you realized it's not worth $900

    Really seems like an awful idea for a wedge...

    I hope it does too, the only thing i'm worried about is the extensive practice it would take to use it properly. Because there really is no back to the club, it will be hard to know what is 59*, 60*, 62*, etc. And to be able to get yardages correct.

    Maybe that's why they put the angled scoring lines on there?

    Nope, those are so that "30 percent more of the ball is in contact with the grooves, creating greater spin". Too bad the spin will be left or right.

    Yeah, but the 97º effective loft will negate the sidespin...:laugh:
