Looking for places where you can try out the different Scratch JLM Wedge grinds. Have tried the online fitting guide which has given me a recommended grind, but would prefer to give them a try first-hand as they are quite an expensive purchase.
They are made from forged 1018 soft carbon steel, have golf ball friendly u-grooves (more aggressive on 57* & above). But what most interests me is the sole grind options that most OEM wedges lack. Hopefully selecting a grind that works best with your swing should make shots easier and more consistent. For anyone curious:
PDG Grind
For Sweeper / Slider (shallow angle of attack, little to no divots, often thin mishits)
The lower bounce angle and thinner sole help prevent the club from bouncing off the turf, causing a thin shot. The higher camber allows the ball to be swept off the turf. The generous trailing edge relief allows the club to open without the leading edge coming off the ground
TNC Grind
For Driver / Slider (moderate angle of attack, small to medium divots, fat & thin mishits)
The reduced bounce angle and trailing edge relief makes effective bounce lower when the face is square. A full heel and toe create a higher bounce wedge when open for bunker play. While rainling edge relief allows the leading edge to sit closer to the ground for high, soft shots around the green.
EGG Grind
For Driver / Slider (moderate angle of attack, small to medium divots, fat & thin mishits)
Aggressive relief in the heel and toe and extreme trailing edge relief allow the leading edge to sit lower to the ground. The high bounce angle reduces the digging action on fuller shots, while the thin sole limits contact with the ground, preventing thin shots.
SFU Grind
For Digger / Driver (steep angle of attack, medium to large divots, often fat mishits)
A higher bounce angle and flat, non-cambered sole helps prevent fat shots. Aggressive asymmetrical heel and toe relief simulates a wider sole wedge when the face is square. The versatile relief allows the face to be opened around the green without greatly increasing the leading height.
SND Grind
For Digger / Driver (steep angle of attack, medium to large divots, often fat mishits)
A pure sand wedge. The high bounce angle with little camber or relief creates a high effective bounce angle when the face is square or opened up for sand play. The perfect complement to the SFU 58 or 60.
