Some wedges spin better than others. Here’s why.

You should realize that not all wedges can spin the ball with equal efficiency, because they are not all made the same way.

Most wedges (even from the top brands) have grooves that are either cast or stamped into the head. In cast wedges, which most are, the grooves suffer from degeneration at each of the five stages of the process – it’s like making a photocopy of a photocopy of a photocopy of a photocopy . . . well, you get it. When the face is polished, metal is removed so the grooves are made shallower, ending up with as little as 60-70% of what the Rules of Golf say you could have had. You wouldn’t play a driver that you know to be 20-30 yards shorter, so why play wedges that are deficient in this way?

For a number of years, the major companies have provided their tour players with wedges that have the grooves machined into the head to insure the best spin possible. But they never made this advantage available to average golfers.

When EIDOLON began making our V-SOLE wedges in 2003, we brought this precision process (See how we do it) to all golfers, and the dramatic improvement in spin continues to earn us rave reviews. While many companies have begun to follow our lead, the average wedge in the store still has the old style grooves because they are cheaper to make. You'll see “clever” names for grooves from some companies, but the fact is that the USGA has very specific limits about the geometry any of us can use. EIDOLON pushes those limits . . . well, to the limit.

If you’re serious about spin, you won’t settle for anything less than a wedge with machined grooves.
