The £145 premium wedge did everything right, clearly better spin, softer feel, perfect milled grooves and finer detailing, but the £30 budget rival got surprisingly close for a fraction of the price.

+ the facts · 4 pros · 1 cons
  • +Much more spin, averaging 8,500 rpm versus 6,400 for the cheap wedge on the simulator
  • +Softer feel and better sound, especially on longer pitch shots
  • +Perfectly cut grooves and face milling with premium detailing throughout
  • £145 for a single club when a £30 wedge performed close to it in this test

For: Golfers who want maximum spin, feel and versatility from a premium wedge
