Brought back so many memories.

Hey rick! I’m a mechanical engineering major and was also curious how high the ball went so I did some math. With the info you gave (85 mph club head speed, 70 degrees loft (ish), 23 total yards, and about 3 seconds of flight time) I found that the ball went about 75 feet in the air. This isn’t exact cause of the rough perimeters given. But it gives you some idea at least!

@jubuttib

Would be interesting to hear what the launch angle actually was. Looking at TXG's recent test of the Kirkland Signature vs. SM8 wedges, with a 56° wedge the launch angle was around 30-32°, and with a 60° wedge it was around 31-34°, depending on the shot. That's with wedges that really grip the ball and give you high spin, so if this was a lower spin wedge (as Rick mentioned it might be) then it could launch higher, but still I'd be surprised if it was anything like 70° degrees.

Funky club review and great editing at the end, this is the standard for all u tube golf channels 👍🏻🏌🏻‍♂️⛳️ 10/10

Your reviews are always so honest, it makes your covering the cheaper/gimmickier stuff that much more important!

11:00 mark.... usually the only time I can hit my 60 wedge 140 yards is when I thin it from the fringe on a 20' chip

Loving the editing. Been subbed for years and seeing your commitment to content creation and your editing improvements through out the years that ending was very good quality stuff. Keep up the golf content!

Love the video. It's a good club review but also I especially love that you leave in the misses. I hit that exact same thin shot yesterday; only after I wasn't laughing as much as you were. We all play golf in the real world which means we don't always make the perfect shot. I love that you keep it real. Keep up the awesome work.

Seems like it might be a decent replacement for my sandwedge since it appears to be easier to use in the bunkers and can also make those short flop shots close to the green. I'd give it a go.

Rick I’ve actually bought all 3 wedges from them. It’s quite costly with shipping and import duty but they are awesome 😎 the 70 takes a while to get used to but the other two are great, just swing on a straight line and has probably already saved about 3 shots a round.

Wow, love the idea of that wedge, but as you said you'd probably only use it a couple of times a round, over priced. But I'm with you on the stripe, I like that idea.

Awesome video man don’t ever stop reviewing these crazy clubs

Your last shot got me thinking, it would be pretty great if you played a round against yourself at the "same time". Maybe one of you plays aggressive and the other plays safe. See who wins!?

I've never been big into golf, but my late father was quite the enthusiast. Contrary to what some say about lofting golf balls, I recall times when my father practiced his loft (flop) shots. He'd instruct me to stand still and would tell me, "Stay put and try to catch the golf ball after I hit it." It was astonishing how many of those balls were within catching range, and he never once risked hitting me.

Bought these as well Rick, and had the same experience. Feels like you're slipping a credit card under the ball -- until you skull it. Gotta learn to trust that bounce and make sure you put that head on the deck. It did earn a place in my bag. I replaced my 60 deg. lob wedge with the 70 deg.

Yesterday I holed in a 60 yard chip on a long par 4 for my first ever birdie with my 56 degree sand wedge. What's funny is I didn't even hit it well, it was kind of a line shot (but with some loft). It bounced on the green and rolled a little bit towards the flag and it went IN. For a guy who's only a few years into this game and shoots 105-110 on a regular day, it was sure as hell a moment of a lifetime.

Might as well get an 89° wedge at that point.

I have had a 70 degree wedge for 3-4 years now and it is an awesome club in certain situations. The ball really gets up in the air quickly and can stop almost on dime when it lands on the green. Just have to make sure I dont get too much under the ball, cause I have taken some pretty good swings in thick grass with the wedge and i can get completely under the ball and the ball stays almost right where it originally was. You do need to practice some with a 70 degree wedge to get the feel of how far the ball will travel.

@dathyr1

2 жыл бұрын

@@michaelmathieson1114 Good question. I havent heard about any, I assume if the club meets all the other standard specs of club making, it is probably legal. All you have to do is open or close the face on any club and you change the loft angle. So with my 70 degree wedge, i can even increase the loft on that club to maybe even a 75-80 degree wedge. My 70 degree wedge is great for short distances and dropping the golf ball next to the pin with not much green to work with.

Loved Rick 2.0 cameo!! Hope he makes more appearances 😉 Cheers!

Great video, now I’m going to watch the last 40 seconds over and over 😂

I have a Wilson 68 degree Superfly wedge that was only $30. It's not as pretty as the one you test, but works probably as good. It works great in the sand, for flop shots and surprisingly enough, I also use it for a bump and run shots from dirt lies around the green on my home junk course (it has severe drought damage). Also if you deloft it, you get more distance.
