Proto-concept

What it does: Produced in cooperation with the famed Endo forging house in Japan, these “small batch” wedges emphasise the importance of the right sole grind – by simplifying it. All swing types can find a home in its three sole grinds, but even then, only the 56, 58 and 60-degree lofts offer more than the standard grind as an option. There’s a wide-sole version for shallower swings and a “cut down” grind for improved performance on open-face shots. 

Why we like it: Here’s to unfettered fresh thinking. Unlike many competitors, these grooves aren’t milled but rather are part of a more elaborate forging process designed to be more precise than milling. Meanwhile, the dot pattern between the grooves is designed to create consistent friction for reliable spin.
