When reading your reviews, I always check to see if you put the items in your bag. After reading your review of the Edison wedges, I also put them in my bag. I have four: 45, 49, 56, and 59 degrees. They cost $200 apiece. Because my home course has hard clay under the grass, the Edisons help me not dig dirt.

Thanks for the review. The PXG Sugar Daddy wedge line has become my favorite wedges through testing the past couple years. I actually have Edison wedges in 47 and 51, then Sugar Daddy’s in 54 and 58. I use 47, 51, and 54 for full shots. I use 54 the most around the green, and use 51 and 58 every now and then if I want to go lower or higher, but 54 is my go-to. I have the 54 in a 10* C-Grind and the 58 in a 7* C-Grind (I use it almost exclusively for a flop). I tried the SD II, and it was good, but I actually found SD I to be my favorite. I do think the SD II, with the full face grooves, have a benefit for the open-face-flop shots I tend to use in my 58*.

Nice review, Meeks. Well…..hmm. Between your glowing review of the PXG SD’s and Matt’s of the JPs we have a dilemma and a decision to make. They are at similar price points with, of course, different design profiles that seem to garner great results and comments from the two of you. Of course, PXG has the advantage of select “green grass” testing opportunities where, by all appearances, JP does not, at least beyond the indoor and simulated confines of Club Champion.

In reply to Kyle.

Kyle, I am interested in knowing what lofts, grinds and bounce you went with. Thank you, Rich

PS – I am struggling to place my order over the bounce, loft, and grind dilemma but hope to soon. :)

In reply to glen o.

The heads I watched in the CNC machine were in process, so I don’t know for sure how they started. I did see blocks of steel and no ‘rough shapes’ on surrounding shelving. It’s been a year+ since I hit a Vokey, but the SDIIIs feel softer/better from my memory. I highly recommend you hit them yourself – and chime back in with your thoughts.

Since you went to their R&D this is a question you can answer. When they start milling the wedges, did they receive the wedge head already roughly shaped from a steel mill supplier? I would be surprised if they forge from a billet in house.

Secondly since these are forged from 8620 a type of steel that is also cast from a well known club maker, how would you discern the “feel” and “soft” difference of these and vokeys? I am going to say not much. I think shaping has more to do with it. Forging does make the steel a bit softer from the mill but casting and then heat treating can achieve the same grain structure.

Nice review. Having had SD III in the bag for about a month now coming off of SD2 I think it’s safe to say that these are the best wedges in golf in terms of fee and performance. One can no longer say PXG is priced out of the marketplace. They’re beautiful.
