Why We Like It
Designing a groove with more spin than a Taylor Swift dance move while reducing frightening flyers and other variations can be daunting. Wilson reviewed its manufacturing method, particularly its cutting tools to produce a steeper angle in the groove shoulder angle for more bite and less loss of spin in wet conditions. Using a Garnet blast, surface roughness on the face (120 micro inches, up from 85 micro inches) was significantly improved, which is particularly helpful on short pitches and chips. The True Temper Dynamic Gold Spinner shaft and Golf Pride Tour Velvet grip complete a package tour pros and amateurs alike can appreciate.

Reviews
A real standout. Glides under the ball smoothly. Leading edge is a champion and doesn’t dig. I’m able to generate spin and get some bite when I need it.
Jamie, 51, Handicap: 5Soft enough for maximum control but still firm enough that the ball comes off with energy. Bunker shots land soft. Versatile. Able to generate spin around the green.
Wayne, 59, Handicap: 6Rubber band-like effect on greenside shots. Very energetic, but I’m still able to vary trajectory and control spin. Easy to escape the bunker. Consistent distance and dispersion on full shots.
David, 56, Handicap: 13This is The Key to Good Wedge Play
A proficient wedge game can turn double bogeys into par saves and drop scores from the mid-90s well into the 80s. In this video, Ashley Moss shows you why solid contact is the first step to dialing in your wedge distances.
