ClubTest: Wedges
Our testers spin four new wedges in search of the short-game master Callaway X-Tour$135 We tested 52º loft/11º bounce, 60º/11º in vintage (matte-grey) finish, and 56º/13º, 58º/9º in satin chrome with X-tour steel shaft The company line "Inspired by two-time major champion Phil Mickelson, our new X-Tour wedges offer Tour-proven precision for the more accomplished golfer."
Our testers say The X-Tour scored well in playability. "X-Tours make it is easy to control distance. They also produce plenty of spin on full shots," said Jim Hurley(handicap 9). "These handle any lie the course throws at you," Lynn Altadonna(15) agreed. There was some disagreement, however, about the X-Tour's feel. Some we impressed. "The heads have nice heft-it's a snap to know precisely where the head is during both full and half swings" said Don Wilson(15). "The X-Tour wedge sacrifices nothing in terms of feel," agrees Anthony Spikes (1). Not everyone was so convinced that the X-Tour held the answers. "Mis-hits sting-be sure you hit it flush or you'll pay for it" said Marshall Schattner(9). Additional Comments:
"Just open
them up and swing through on flop shots."
"They are reliable in
bunkers, displacing enough sand to splash
it out."
"Too demanding-you get poor
performance on anything struck just slightly
off-center."
