  Well i have taken the ATV's out of my bag , i give them plenty enough time IMO to adapt , unless WGT does some fine tuning to them i have wasted $36 !   .......   They are way to unpredictable IMO , sure i had some great shots with them , but it's the ones that just go anywhere right when you think gees theese wedges are great !  

  thank you , ....  dflop  !

  Having played with these wedges for a few days I think they have their merits but they are also completely erratic when it comes to pitching. There is something seriously not right with the 64 degree club. The ball has no release at all after it's first bounce. The 60 degree wedge behaves completely differently, if anything too much release and run.

  For full shots and punching I like them but if the pitching isn't tweaked then it's back to the original wedges I go.....

  I would suggest to every one, that you RENT BEFORE YOU BUY. You get 24 hrs. to test drive them and it will be a whole lot cheaper. So slow down and take your time, the clubs arent going anywhere. Did take a look, and only the lvl 86,87,&89, have a slower meter. Lvl14-64, has the same speed as the other wedges.  Me , I have 3 Satins, a 52,54&60 and bought all 3for the price of 1 lower level ATV, with 75 credits left over.They are Satins just dressed up and over priced. Seeeeee Yaaaaaaaa.....

  All ready binned them and my game is not dropping any more shots.  I dont know how they can get away with advertising them as "best" wedge and chas=rging much more than clevelands when they aren't.  Yes "most expensive wedge" but costing more doesnt make them better.  They're just too un-predictable, i thought i would try them out in ready go at bethpage and my 75 yard one with full power just went  71 yards in 10 mph tailwind.  so enough said, proof is in the pudding as they say i regretted leaving clevelands in bag after first hole!

   Does anybody know if the ATV's have been tweaked on today's upgrade , when the game came back online i thought i would give them another try , they seem a little different , distance wise and landing more consistent with just a slight nip back or maybe my head is playing games with me !  ......   Sure hope i am not see things , well they are back in my bag for another crack !

  thank you , .....  dflop  !

  Thrown my new wedges in the bin, WGT's best wedges. NOT, clevelands are the better wedge and cheaper too, what a gimmick.  Clevealnd are btter for pitching.and more accurate the only thing atv's got going is a slower meter, but that 2 can throw you off as its too slow!  The atv seem to come up way short on some hole too and i seem to always land in between yardages, clevalnds pee on these wedges to be honest, Another $30 in the pan.

  well what did i say chris, they are not so good, i can go for the 100 y but just lol

  Yea, you just cannot replace the CG's with these new ones.  I bought the 50yd one and like it, rented the 75 yarder and totally missed having the CG in the bag.  

   

  Perhaps the hardest part for me is that I already knew my short game shots with the Clevelands so well that I didn't want to re-learn these new wedges.

  do you think 79 burners > 83 g20s?

   

  I've never played the burner irons, but I am not a big fan of the G20's..IMO, they are not nearly as forgiving or precise as the pro-shop stats page indicates..

  They also lack in trajectory..

  At times they are great then out of the blue BAM , in a bunker mostly i have had the ball fly way right , like 6 to 8 yrds . 

   

  Funny, I have seen the same problem with the Satin wedges.....Hmmmmmmmm

  Same here (Satins). Remember some shots from bunkers at BPB10, 15 and 17 going way off the line when not dinged. One seemed to veer off 70°.

  Also from severe rough: You can't expect the shot to remain straight.

  I do account this to VEM - those shots don't come out straight IRL, too.
