  Perfect explanation. Tks.

  Do u think that this only aspect (2 degrees) giustifies the higher price (345 vs 200)?

  That 2 degrees is pretty big when you're talking about wedges. Look at how they price the 64 degree wedge-it's the most expensive one of them but is well worth it. Pitching with a 58 degree wedge versus pitching with a 60 degree club is a good way to see the difference. The 58 degree rolls way farther after landing.

  So by my calculations that is 72.5 credits per degree, which is 72.5 cents. Two degrees is $1.45 and the 3 Degrees cost about $5000 dollars a night so count yourself lucky.

  I'll check into it.

  I hope WGT doesn't go and change the attributes of this 60 degree Ping wedge. You get what you pay for, and this wedge is a good one.

  Funny you should say that Oily. My dad came over ,figuratively speaking, on the same boat as Georgie and I was brought up a Man U supporter, still am. The first away match I remember was at WBA and we got beaten 5 -3 and those 3 were playing, they had an unbelievably side at the time. Cyril. Laurie, Bredon and Remi wow.

  f you look at PING Tour W 58° Wedge (L42+) and Tour W 60° Wedge (L60+) u can see that they have all the same data: distance, trajectory, precision, forgiveness, shot shaping, spin and meter speed,

  58° vs 60° .........therefore not the same wedge.   Even though their description "says" med/high trajectory,  the 60° will fly slightly higher.  

   

  IMHO,  you cannot call these the same wedge.  If you think otherwise, then just get the 58°.

  Yes, now I know it, but WGTicon wrote like surprised that he should have checked into the matter, so I'm curious to know if he has news abt it? Maybe 145cr (almost double price) more for 2 degrees is too much, no?

  Tam, If anything, The price of the less expensive club will go up. You won't see the price of the more expensive one drop. I wouldn't press the issue too much, or find any more similarities that they can exploit.
