Dunlop Rebel Wedges........oh my days!!!!

[Richuk123]

I was doing my usual rounds at sports direct and saw a 56&60 degree Dunlop rebel wedges . the grooves are insane. There like reverse cut , almost teeth like, on a rough face. Highly non conforming, which the sticker on it duly says but for £20 total for both, I couldnt resist!!

Tried them tonight..........

In all my years playing golf I have never seen a ball spin like that. I would love to mickleson smash in a 56 at full speed. Interested to see what is left of the ball!

Anyone tried these out????. Will keep them in bag for a few friendlies.

Lol. They are dangerous things. You could probably shave with the grooves. Did you use a Pro V with them. I honestly think they could skin the ball.

It shredded a AD333!!! I'm genuinely exciting about wrecking a pro v in one full wedge!!

Out of a bunker , there brilliant. 1/2 bounces and it rips! :clap:

I've seen some wedges with replaceable rubber faces too - also non-conforming.

Huge amounts of spin could be generated!

what degree of bounce are on these?


for £20 I might pick these up for a bit of fun also.

Haha brilliant, why do you need to know the bounce on an illegal wedge that you can only use for a bit of fun?

I only play one comp a week at the minute. most of my golf is for fun. if these things are low bounce ill be more than happy as my wedges are freekin loaded with bounce and not really suitable for the hot dry weather of the summer.

Ive got a 60 degree wedge on the rebel wedge i use for the pitch and putt for a laugh, they are fun, but they even though you know there totally illegal you kinda want to keep them in your bag.

Not bad for a laugh, friendly game

Got a 60 degree that I didn't realise at the time was non-conforming.

During the winter, I tried it at a local 9-holer. Playing a high lob into a soft green, the ball pitched onto the green and literally fried egged itself into the green.

I would love to see these in tourney play just for the entertainment value!

10 degree on the 56 and 15 degree on the 60.

They sit really well behind the ball and bunker shots are no problem

Que?

Just to further this, i read an post on here a while back about why Dunlop are releasing the "rebel" range (515cc Driver, Wedges and heavier core balls etc...) and what is the point if it is "illegal" in the game of golf.

Having seen some of the posts in this, i have come to 2 conclusions why

1. Targeting "Casual Golfers" IE - the non members , who play golf as and when on 9/18 hole courses, socitey etc, who are looking for something for a new product without bursting the bank.
2. Members who want to try something "for a laugh" and "entertainment" purposes.

So in theory, a massive market. Fair play to them.

have amended my typo :temper:

15 degrees on the 60? wow that's a lot of bounce right there!

 

[Richuk123]

15 degrees on the 60? wow that's a lot of bounce right there!

Your right, and on 2nd inspection its

56 -- 12deg
60 -- 10deg

[garyinderry]

next time I am in sports direct im going to pick these up. it would be rude not to at those prices ! plus im curious!

 

[palindromicbob]

You can actually find them with your eyes closed. Just rub the grooves lol.
