Reviews of inexpensive clubs are few and far inbetween. Thank you for an honest review for us beginners.
So refreshing to see such honest reviews! Think average golfers have too high an estimation of their ganes, I play off 12 and struggle big time with short game! Great review
Great honesty Simon, this was great to wake up to in New Zealand.
Ive been using these wedges as my first set for a few months now, and i love them!
Well done Simon for reviewing these, I always thought they'd be good enough for beginners and Hi handicappers who're just learning wedge play. I was just worried about them falling apart after a few weeks of practice.
Simon you are super cool 4 interacting with subscribers so fully, to buy and review clubs in response to a comment, you have a touch of class pal, it sets your channel apart, dont ever change that, even when you have 250k subs.
Found these clubs on eBay.... Came to the tube to find reviews. Do not know why I am surprised to see you have reviewed them. Legend 👌👌
Your so right Simon. I have learned that lesson just recently. I go to the range just bring my wedges and practice my different shots. My game from inside 120 yards is terrible.
Best and honest review I have seen on UA-cam. Thx
Thanks for watching guys, these were £44.99 when I bought them, but since looks like they have gone up to £54.99 and £59.99 on amazon. Still good value in my opinion. 👌
Great video again Simon, but 1 issue I have, you always release a video on an area of my bag after I've already just spent the money filling it. Lol, curious though on your thoughts on cheaper clubs off of Amazon or 2and hand from ebay etc when you need 1.5" longer than standard?
could you do a review on the caley wedges. £200 for 3 wedges new
Ram is one of the oldest brands in the u.s. long before most brands you mentioned I still play a set from 1972 Tom Watson grind and they have had more pros on the pay roll from Nancy Lopez to jack Nicklaus not cheap . there practical
3 yrs ago, new'ish into golf, I bought a set of 3 Texan wedges off of Amazon for $40. Same lofts as you just bought and I sure used the "good" out of them. Now i bought the replacement set of forged tommy armour vcg wedges for $130 for the 3. I'll use the "good" out of them for the next 3 yrs and then I might be ready for some vokeys. But until I am consistent enough to see and feel the difference on the course, I'm good with a slight step up as my handicap goes down. 3yrs ago I was off 30 now I'm a 12. I can feel and see a big difference one the good shots but now on the bad ones. Love the videos keep them coming.
Well watching your vids has defo paid off. The exact reason I bought these is to use and abuse them untill they break or don't have a face left, and then go and get a fitting, when I know how to hit a wedge properly. So thanks for all the vids man.
I think the bounces were advertised as 10 for the 56 and 8 for the 52 and 60.
SIMON. I haven't even watched the video yet but I already know I'm going to love this. I dint have any wedges and I'm on a budget so I asked the missus to get me these for my birthday and she did bless her. For 45 quid, to learn how to hit wedges, can you really go wrong??? I was going to film a witb cause I thought you would love these wedges as a cheap set to get some1 going. Can tell I've been watching your vids for a year now, you've obviously taught me well 🤣 going to watch now and find out what you think cause I've played 3 rounds and I really struggle to hit them, mainly me combined with hard ground and tight lies, much practise is needed I think but I think they'll do for me to learn.
Great video Simon. I'm in kind of a similar boat. Off 17 atm and play with 25 year old irons, no wedges and a driver not suitable for my swing speed. I could go and get brand new, fitted clubs but until I've improved with what I have there's no point. Keep up the great work mate. Good luck on going sub 80 left handed. Wonder which of us will get there first :)
Simon, yesterday for some reason everything clicked and I started to spin my wedges, one hop and stop about 3feet from the landing spot. It's a whole new game not watching the ball roll off the green. Thanks for the tips.
Play off 5 hcp, bought a set of these 2 months ago and could not detect any difference from previous Ping and Callaway wedges (we winter 2000 km from home so have a set of clubs at each house). So good that I bought another set to take back to the other house to replace the Callaways! Wedge grooves wear down so I reckon you have to replace them after a few years. The variance between our good and poor swings with any club is far greater than the minute differences between different manufacturer’s clubs.
i bought these wedges a month ago and just used them on my first 18 holes since the virus outbreak, they are brilliant, do a great job and well worth the money
Every time I see a club thst I think will be ideal in helping me build my bag you have a review on it. Thank you mate
I was actually looking at those a few weeks back to replace my worn-out Vokeys, but I decided to regrip some non-conforming killer bee wedges that I bought 3 for $50 years back. I haven't played them since I regripped them, but I remember those things spinning like crazy.
great review , me being a guy that can't chip to save my life . :) so I need alot of work on my short game so getting the cheaper wedge makes sense to me . thanks for a honest review . cheers
On Amazon: Ram Golf Pro Spin 3 Wedge Set - 52° Gap, 56° Sand, 60° Lob Wedges: $64.99
I've had a cheap Ram sand wedge in my bag for a long time. I've tried to replace it with lots of pricey wedges, but it outperforms anything else I've tried.
I bought two Honma TW-W4 wedges in great condition for £112 a month or so ago on Ebay. This was to go with a Callaway md3 wedge.
Rrp is 149 each, so a great price for a club that is less than a year old, and my God they are awesome.
I'm no great wedge player, 18 HC, but they inspire confidence and feel like a knife through butter.
Great channel! Cheers
Great video as a fellow lefty. Just picked up this set for £15 pre owned. Hoping they allow me to get my technique!
Agree 100%
I bought 3 X Wilson TW9 for £70 off eBay.
Good enough and in good nick.
I bought the Ben Sayers ones off of eBay. £55 for the 3. I can't complain about them at all. Got some serious milling on the faces of the wedges.
Great content, as always pal
Thanks mate! Seen those Ben sayers ones, good to know there good value. 👍
Can you review the Ram FX77 irons?
Another great video and sound advice, I remember when Ram was a super premium brand, Tom Watson played them at his best. Always wanted some but could never afford them, how times have changed. Keep up the content👍
Great review 👍
But you gotta let go the control and let your intention and body do the job!
Trust your body, it knows how to do it!
TRUST 😊
Well said si 😎👌
Try the Mac Gregor tour grind wedges off eBay! Milled face and tour grinds and true temper shaft for $70 per wedge
Price point should be the first stop , good show
You spoke the truth!
These or the lazrus lol that's the real question? I saw something saying a tour blade 9 iron is more forgiving than any mainstream current wedge. Wonder if maybe we are all being held back by these pro style wedges?
It would be great if you could start playing oth lefty's out on the course, see how you fair against them.
I like this video, very honest. My wedge game is excellent, from 100 yards I’m looking to be no more than 6 feet away. Around the green I use a variety of chips and pitches depending on the lie. I laugh at better players than me who constantly try to spin their ball no matter what their lie is. Spin is so inconsistent and unreliable. A light grip and even tempo is your friend as well as picking your landing spot . Your lie will determine your landing spot so you can use the right trajectory for the shot. Unfortunately there is more to golf than chipping and pitching and I am shit at driving.
To be honest I just like playing the game, I see so many people buy all the gear but still they have no idea 😂.
I have Ram irons 7 to SW, nothing wrong with them at all, I have used well known brands but didn't really do much a slight distance change but I hit them the same.
i have the accubar set and love them. easy 140+ out of pw and drove my first green on a par 3 with them off the deck.
This is the reason I got 3 Wilson wedges for $120. They are outplaying me right now. Vokey’s are great, I can’t make them work right now.
Is that the driving range near Thatcham?
Sure is mate. 👍
I'm off 15 so probably a bit past looking at cheaper wedges, however that being said short game is where your going to save shots in general, are you not better getting good wedges to home your technique with a variety of wedges than buying cheap wedges that your going to need to relearn how to execute your shots around the green with?
Good question mate. As I learnt with expensive wedges the first time round o would say it’s doesn’t make a difference in the early stages. Hence why it should be even easier when getting fitted for wedges. Buy something expensive doesn’t mean it’s better for your game necessarily. Thanks mate. 👌
@@SASGolf im really picky when it comes to bounce/grind and the extra options having a high/low bounce combo gives you but definitely having had 2 wedge fittings (one recently for sm8) can really feel the difference in grind/bounce from club to club even with i blind test, I agree strike is key but certainly for players wanting to score lower there comes a point where grind on a second hand wedge is more important than the grooves, yes worn groves will reduce spin but the correct grind gives you the versatility, once you get better then just buy new wedges with the same grind/bounce options
Also with second hand wedges(all clubs really), if you don't know the why and how of specs you can end up with something really awful. You see a big brand and a low price in the bargain bin and pull the trigger, little did you know that club previously belonged to your local giant who needed a specialty club to practice chipping in the Himalayas and the club is like 4* upright, +2", and bent from 50 to 58.....
Hi Simon, please remind me why you are playing left handed? Regards Peter
Coaching, content, building less dominant side of my body for long drive. Cheers.
@@SASGolf Ah! I thought you may have injured yourself. I knew a guy who broke his collarbone on the right and changed to being a lefty . I took him about a year to be competitive
I just started playing again last June. All I had was my Callaway Big Bertha Sandwedge. Recently I've added VOKEY SM5 50,56,60. Def harder to use but there's alot more room for growth with these.
Also just changed out my irons for "MIZUNO MP H4" 4-PW it's hybrid set chunky toward the long irons are more player style 7 an up. These things sound an feel amazing.
True story!!!
Gwate weview of wam wedges
Mr SAS, would be great to see a UK UA-camr review Inesis golf clubs. There's none out there.
I have their shoes and balls. They're great. The Inesis 900 balls are £19.99/dozen and are up there with the big boys.
But I'm yet to own any of their clubs!
Fairly sure James Robinson did a video on them mate
The premium wedges offer fine tuning in the shots for better players
The cheaper ones offer voluntary sacrificial service to the newbies
What happened to long drive vids?
No events this year now mate, still practicing but difficult to make engaging content on it with me just practicing. Will try and get an update soon. Thanks 🙌
I follow what you are saying, and people need to practice more to make spending hundreds on wedges worth it.
But there are bad wedges out there. I had the mentality that I hit wedges awfully and needed more practice but legitimately, my first set of Nike wedges had no spin.
YAAA!
This is exactly why I watch you and not youtuber like Rick Sheils because you are honest in your reviews no matter what a golf club costs.
However...
Damn these wedges seem to have fallen off the face of the earth since this video! Anyone seen them online again?
eBay has quite a few.
- .. don't know the bounce or the grind ? ... c ya ....
First?
You are sir, thanks 🙌
@@SASGolf keep up the good work!
you bought them cause it gives more youtube content. admit it. nothing wrong with it.
