  As Magneto has pointed out those increments on the new wedges are stupid.

  The 115yd one especially, what's the point? The PW that comes with high level iron sets nowadays make it redundant already.

  Don't know why WGT would choose to release a set of wedges like this. If there is no 64 deg option in real life, it doesn't mean that the 60 deg wedge has to go 75yds just because the ATV does. Just make the 60deg go 60yds, 56deg go 80yds, and 52deg go 100yds. Pointless having a 115yd wedge over a 50 or 60yd one.

  I don't know,  it would do one hell of a flop shot I think.  ;-)

  Not only that but add the meter speed 4.5 which makes no sense . Then throw in the price for the top 3 at 1995 a pop and it comes in at 5985 for 3 wedges .The higher level wedges make no sense because unless WGT is going to remove the current 2.0 wedges there is no need for wedges at L94-96 .

  Most of us already are set with the wedges we have and even if WGT does the switch changing the 2.0 to the 3.0 wedges players will have the wedges they need by L80. So again there is no incentive for higher level players to make any changes for the most part and up and coming will also have no reason for higher level upgrades either .

  The 115 yard wedge might work well with the TM Rocket Bladez with its 125 yards PW.

  Best club in the bag for me....pretty much takes the pw out of play which is the worst club in the bag for me..but i agree that they should have released the wedges at 60,80,100,115

  As much as I want to have Callaway wedges in my virtual bag just to have them, I can't do away with the 100/80/60 yard gaps.  

  Guess I'll wait and see.  

   

  **edit.   guess I could talk myself into trying the 100/75/50 yardages but that didn't work to well for me when I tried with the ATV wedges.   Just missed that 60 yard wedge too much lol.  

   

   

  The 75 yrd wedge should punch around 60 yrds . But at the same time Im not giving up my 2.0s unless the 3.0 wedges are added and then they would have to have better specs performance wise than the 2.0 wedges .

  Guess I should have said that the 17yd pitch shot that comes with the 60 yd Cleveland is what I'd miss most.  Only since I know it so well.  Not that I couldn't relearn a shorter pitch shot but remember not liking the 50 yd atv pitch distance.

  I was just taking a stab at Fmags 115dg wedge.  The dg representing loft.   I knew what he meant but just the thought of a 115 degree wedge made me laugh a bit.  I want one. :)

  Not many pros use the 64 deg.. Kinda why their lay up zone is closer to 100 yds than 50.

  Wedges were the last piece of equipment that needed upgrading anyway. Glad they didn't ruin the Clevelands by keeping the 64 out of the Callaways :P  Although, pretty sure they will add the 64 deg once they fix the existing wedges.

  Before they add any clubs to the pro shop , They should just ask Fmagnets for advice !

  He knows what time it is ......
