Out with the new in with the old! Wedges

[OnTour]

After the success of the 909 D3 over the R15. I've given up with my SM6 sand wedge and reverted back to my ping tour 58° and jeez it spins a lot 😱

The orka RS18 still collect dust they just seem like shovels, seems I'm stuck in the 90s and my games in the 80s 🤔 Cleveland gc10 might make the bag soon.

If the B60 bomber comes out next I'm going full retro.

New kit sucks oh wait anyone changing to the cbx wedges soon ?

Did this myself bought three new ping wedges glide2 have gone back to Mac daddy's just could not get on with them.
Wedges are prob the only club technology hasn't really changed much for years.

Makes me feel better, I realised recently that majority of the bag was circa 2013 even though the irons were bought new in 2015. Have just updated my wedges to circa 2014, although all 3 purchased new. I'm not backing these equipment price hikes at the moment!

I have been happy with my M2 driver and thought it was the bees knees. Took my mates Cleveland altitude? yes me neither, and had a few shots with it and was consistently further and straighter than my fitted driver with expensive shaft upgrade. The manufacturers have us on a string, watch Crossfields latest review of the £150 Benross driver.

Makes me wonder why you ever bought any new clubs in the first place if the old ones were so great?

sucked into the possibly better marketing scam!

money burning holes in pockets and loose mind

Have actually been looking at the Altitude and the 588 Custom. Out of curiosity what shaft and loft did it have?

Been pondering about the BenRoss driver for a while now, will take a look.

Just been given a Callaway FT Tour Driver, c.2010(?), just as long as anything else I've hit recently. In the bag it goes.

Roughly what age are the Ping Tours and are they old enough to have square grooves, hence the increased spin levels?

Scanning golfbidder 2007 which would be about right I'd guess I used it for 2008 then moved to RS18 Orka wedges

It had the Matrix stiff shaft and was 9*. Was seriously suprised by it, forgiving, long and just wanted to fly straight for me. Think he paid £50 for it on the bay and it is as new. Don't know why I was shocked tbh as all the Cleveland stuff I have ever used has done the same to me. Very underrated.
