'WHY SPEND MORE?'
Strengths:
Easy to hit, great out of deep rough, good for awkward chips around the green.
Weaknesses:
The gunmetal finish wears off! Not so good in soft sand.
Overall:
A very versatile club that can be used in many difficult situations with confidence. One caveat, it does not have a wide enough flange fo soft sand.

'EXCELLENT CLUBS.'
Strengths:
Great clubs, excellent value, good enough for me, As good as some other more expensive wedges for a fraction of the price.
Weaknesses:
Not as well known as other brands. Only one bounce option available.
Overall:
Excellent clubs, I had three of them (Gap, Sand and Lob) but sold them to a friend and have updated to the new Raw version now available (Now I have three of them instead, more bounce options too). These are excellent too for about the same price.

'GREAT VALUE!!!'
Strengths:
Superb from 60-70 in. Great around the greens. Cheap too!
Weaknesses:
Some people will over look Progen for bigger names like Cleveland.
Overall:
A cracking club and for £30, a bargain too!

[Update 31/05/06] Have had a 54* and 60* for over a year and half and they are still serving me well.

Bargain for £30!

'AMAZING VALUE FOR A GOOD ALL ROUND WEDGE'
Strengths:
They are as good as some big name wedges but at half the price.
Good fee and spin and nice-looking, too.
Weaknesses:
Sometimes don't feel as soft as some forged wedges when chipping.
Overall:
So good, that I have 49,56 and 60 deg wedges.
Cant beat these in the value for money.

'I LOVE IT!'
Strengths:
Great weight and feel and stops the ball dead.
Weaknesses:
None I can think of so far.
Overall:
Just like many have said, this is a great value club that does the business without a big name that adds £30 to the price! I have a 49 degree pitching wedge and I think I will be getting the 56 and 60 models soon.

'TOP QUALITY AT LOW PRICE!'
Strengths:
Feel, balance, inspires confidence from around 60 - 70 yds.
High quality Dynamic Gold shaft, not usually on a club at this price.
Weaknesses:
None to date!
Overall:
This club would sell at double the price with a 'known' name on the head.

If you don't need to be seen with such names buy this instead.

'DON'T LEAVE HOME WITHOUT ONE...'
Strengths:
Well balanced/weighted, an all-round great club.
Weaknesses:
None spring to mind.
Overall:
Excellent value club, good grips, great shaft and do exactly what a wedge should. Using 49* (replacement for PW), 52* AW, 56* SW and 60* LW. Between full shots and 3/4 swings they'll serve every task from 110-in. High Trajectory and will make even the cheapest ball behave well.

'Cheap-ish wedges that play like premium wedges.'
Strengths:
Great feel, look great at address, simple classy design, widely availible for 25-30 quid. Perform well with lots of spin and reliable distance control from a variety of lies.
Weaknesses:
Don't look as flash in the bag as ping or cleveland wedges, so if you like a bit of flash in your bag, they're probably not for you. No bounce options available.
Overall:
If you baulk at paying 70-100 quid on a wedge these then these are for you. You won't know the difference.
