Finally got to try these out at Club Champion and I ordered a 48 and a 54 (bent to 53). They feel tremendous off the face and offer gobs of forgiveness and lots of spin. I did not get to hit them on turf which gave me a bit of pause, but off the mat they were checking all the boxes for me so YOLO (early 50th bday present to myself). I have a 49/53 Edison 2.0 in the bag currently and am evaluating those too. So far they are very forgiving (i have gotten away with murder with them twice on terrible strikes) and do spin very well. What I can say is that they don’t feel quite as nice (soft) as the JPs. I’m on the fence so far with the Koehler sole but I think it’s too soon to call. Overall both of these wedges seem to offer more performance than the RTX-6 wedges I have in the bag now (which are in their own right quite good). I also looked into the BGT REDZNE shafts after your review and ordered those after hitting them, REALLY REALLY nice, lived up to the description in your review for sure. I know some people would say spending this much money on wedges is insane, but I play a lot of golf and don’t hit nearly enough GIRs ;). Once I have more time with everything I’ll report back, but thanks for the info I doubt I would have even looked at products like these without your reviews.

It seems based on your reviews that the JP Camber (or Edison 2.0) wedges could be used by high handicap players due to the cavity back design. Is this correct? Thanks.

Brian,

Forgiveness is very close overall. To your question about high face strikes, it’s hard for me to say because I don’t know that I hit a single ball high on the face because of the JP Camber’s sole. My trademark thin strikes were still available, but the top of the face would have required real effort from me.

Best,

Matt

Matt,

Did you find the forgiveness on the JP cambers were close to or equal to the Edison 2.0 wedges? I’m considering both of these wedges and wondering if striking the ball higher on the face on the JP provided similar consistency to the Edison? Great review and loved the interview as well, these wedges are like pieces of art, it’s almost a shame to get them dirty lol

Laban,

Yes, it’s stated in the Conclusion that these are available for fittings at Club Champion.

Is there anywhere you know of that has these for fittings? Maybe club champion ?

Steve,

I can’t think of any reason why these soles would be less durable on mats than any other sole.

Great, enthusiastic review, Matt. Once again, you shine a light on “boutique” club makers and tweak our interest. I will check out their website as JP is in the “Miura level” of pricing, so figuring out a way to get fitted will be critical to avoid throwing good money away. All that aside, my only concern about these gorgeous wedges is the milled sole…..from the context that most or all of us, whether we like it or not, are forced to practice off of mats more than we would like to. So my concern is, how these milled soles will hold up to the abuse that even the best, cushioned mats will exact on the soles of all clubs, but especially irons. I know the snarky response will be …..”don’t hit off of mats.” I wish I had that option, but it would easily cut out 60-70% of my practice time. Any thoughts from those who have gamed these JPs?
