When I first saw a close up of the face of these wedges I thought, "ball shredder". The faces have small circular milling marks on them. Similar to what you see on a milled putter only not as pronounced.
I currently use Cleveland CG12's so that's my basis for comparison.
I have never been one to get a wedge shot to spin back and using these I still can't but I have to say they stop on a fecking dime. I was never more than 12 inches from the pitch mark all day.
The dual grind is interesting. We played today after a one hour rain delay so things were soggy and I was taking HUGE chunks of real estate. Much more than normal. I have to get used to this wedge grind that seems to 'dig in' more than the 14* of bounce that I am used to.
There is also an interesting booklet that came with these wedges. a short game bible of sorts. I'll talk more about that after I put a few more rounds on these puppies.
Back to the shredding aspect. I was using a Callaway Tour i ball and while it didn't shred in the normal sense of the word, it did remove the first layer. It's like the tour i is painted and when scuffed, the paint is removed exposing a yellowish base layer. That's the best way to describe it. Anyway, one ball, shot after 9 holes.
Bottom line so far, great stopping power! I never hit a wedge like it.
