Mizuno Golf Bags: Callaway X Forged Vintage Wedge (Square Groove) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I own two of these wedges:
56 degree Sand Wedge
62 degree Lob Wedge

After one year of owning them, they've started to get that distinctive rusty look to them.For those that don't know, a vintage wedge will rust over the years and this rusting effect adds extra "grippy-ness" for when the ball makes contact with the wedge's surface.

To be prefectly frank, I'm not good enough of a player to notice any difference in my game that "rust" will make an effect but I must say that these wedges add a distinctiveness to your bag and I really don't know if I could play golf without them.

There's a few things you should look for in these wedges - you don't have to have all of these things but knowing about them can help you customize:

C-Grind -- this means that the back bottom of the wedge has been ground.Experts say that this keeps the wedge from bouncing when it gets used on grass...mine aren't C-Ground and I prefer them that way.

Vintage -- this means that they'll rust over time getting a really nice effect.The only way they won't rust is if you coat them in oil or something like that after every use.They don't come rusty when you buy them though.You have to "earn" that look :-)

McDaddy Grooves -- these are bigger deeper grooves which help give the golf ball added spin.I'm not good enough to where McDaddy Grooves make a difference but hey - you might.

Overall, these wedges are fantastic -- you can't go wrong with them and barring any anger fits, they should last you a lifetime.

For me, I have a pitching wedge that came with my x-forged clubs but I needed to add a sand wedge and a lob wedge.56 degree pitch is pretty standard for a sand wedge and I completed it out with a lob wedge to help me get on the green for when I just miss it.Definitely think about your wedge coverage.I think 3 is about as much as I need and any more and I'd have to start leaving some of the longer clubs out like the 3 iron or my 5 wood which I like, so 3 wedges is all I can carry.

For me, vintage is the only way to go.
