The all-new Exotics Wingman Wedge Series offers versatility including greater spin, improved precision and an enhanced feel with both full swings and finesse chips, producing Tour Edge’s most advanced performance-based forged wedges.
Extensively milled and loaded with tech, the Exotics Wingman wedges ($140) come in three different grinds available in five total bounces.
The all-new forged design features feel-enhancing “Vibracor†pockets, which dampen sound and shock while also increasing the MOI, and perimeter weighting of the wedge that adds forgiveness. The “winged†weight pad on the toe creates a higher center of gravity for lower launch and greater spin.
A 3.0-millimeter constant offset creates added forgiveness and consistency, automatically keeping the golfer’s hands forward in front of the leading edge. This helps promote more of a downward strike, which eliminates improper lift at impact that leads to inefficient wedge play.
Offset is rare in wedges, and even more so in forged wedges. Tour Edge designers say it presents the bounce in a more ideal angle to the turf that lends to cleaner contact and ease of control, especially with inconsistent wedge swings.
“I am always looking for a forged wedge with the right amount of offset and eventually started to ask the R&D team at Tour Edge what they thought they could come up with,†World Golf Hall of Famer Bernhard Langer said. “What came back has astounded me with its performance. I put one prototype right into play the week I tested it because I could just tell that the design was just plain easier to hit and far more consistent than my other wedges.â€
The new Triple-Traction Face technology features three milled areas on the face: grooves; micro-grooves between the scoring lines; and toe lines. The larger strike area on the face is 10 percent larger than a traditional wedge, boosting spin in every condition and allowing for added versatility and creativity from wedge play.
