hate the looks tbh
HARD? These are some of the softest wedges I've played. They instantly shelved my SM6. Super-soft, the Glide 2.0. But Rick, you also think the SM6 was hard, and the new Mizuno T6 wedge with boron – you call that hard.
Rick you need to let us know how clubs feel. Do they feel hard to you?
definitely a placebo effect on the "hard" feeling… if it was a blind test I doubt anyone could rlly tell the difference between a cast and forged club
You will get used to the feel when your wedge game gets better. I was a Mizuno wedge guy, good luck getting these out of my bag. Absolutely in love. Ping has a winner here.
can you do a video on spinning the wedges? I can't spin my pitches or chips but the line is good.
ES seems to be the crowd favorite grind, any particular reason. Looking to add 2 more wedges and thinking the ES might be the way to go
I have a 50 ss and I agree I think it feels soft. Unless I hit a little off the bottom, but even then the shot results are fantastic
If your hitting great shots with great spin should the feel of the wedge really matter?
shes a beauty!
did you test the hogan wedges?
The problem I have with Mark Crossfield is that although his ids for on instruction are very good,when he does course blogs with tour pro golfers he acts like a complete idiot giggling and sniggering like little children. Pete and Rick are to legends in my eyes.
Rick seems to love the Mizuno and Ping wedges, gets great shot data but says they feel too hard. My main question is about the lofts….he has the green set for a 56 and 60 degree wedge. But if he can only get his hands on a 52 or 54 and 58 degree wedge why not move the video green back so he can hit a more full shot? It's not as though you never run into a 110-115 yard shot on the course.
Rick just describes everything as hard now
Rick, great videos!
Good review, it is a nice looking club and thanks for showing the club face and not just the back (drives me nuts when the reviewers show how pretty the back of the club looks). The strikes even sound hard, as you say "clicky", maybe try a softer ball?
How does the coating age now that you have had the Iblade in the bag for a while now?
Sounds more like a thud than a click
Results are important
Dump those hightops Rick..Don't suit golfers!
If the spin is that good, I could probably get over the hard feel.
These could be a great fit for a softer ball like the Callaway chrome soft. They are miles softer than the prov1(x)'s.
Will there ever be a wedge that Rick happily bag? Great review Rick!! What will be next?
feel is #1 easy pass on these no matter what the spin
Hi Rick, are you planning to or did you test the titleist sm6 wedges the same way as you have reviewed the other wedges over the past month. Keep up the great work ?
You can tell he is up to some ball reviews! Look at all the balls in the corner
Feel, spin and view at address
Rick, my only criticism of your WITB is you seem to go with looks and feel over performance. It's hard for me to understand why a serious golfer would not have performance as the top priority. Also, if feel is lacking, you could switch to a softer ball.
Around the green.. in fact inside 60 yards it's all about the feel…
I have sound Ping wedges to be "hard" feeling for last few iterations I have tried. I do love the overall look though I would like a bit more grind variation. (M grind…). I think it is interesting that you notice so much "hard" here and I think they would be the same as either the i200 or iBlade when it comes to feel. Same basic idea. They do stay true to Ping concepts: cavity back (even has the "insert"…which doesn't seem to help here) but also adhere to the current i200/iBlade style of look like a more traditional player club.
You need to have a big table once you get done with posting all your reviews that is a summary: Softest feel, hardest, etc. so we can see them side by side. IE Mizuno also a bit "hard" because while forged it is boron/steel…not the old "mizuno feel" yet maybe they last longer? Anyhow, good stuff, love that you have some combo of on-course and machine data.
