Here's a club for sale right now. It's touted as a "MINT" Tour Preferred ATV Wedge. Look at the second and third photos.

Not a bad club, but the...
Weird that you mention that 7i bump and run. I've used it a ton lately with a choked down putter stroke swing. It will go 110-120 pretty accurately. The sole bounce and speedslot makes it easy to get these going. Just don't try to hood them for a ground draw. l also use a 70 yard putter stroke...
I had the set 55 and 60 wedges, used them awhile, but sold them off replacing them with ATV's. They were fine when used on straight, full shots where the sole interaction and bounce were not an issue. I had significantly more problems with them whenever I tried to open them up for flops or...
I'm not the USGA, but they seem very wide, sharp, deep and closely-spaced. What's the rule that makes 'em legal on a putter but not a wedge? (Not that they would survive more than a few impacts on a wedge, mind you.)
C'mon guys, you can go easier than that! I see actual trees in the way and elevation changes!
If you want a truly easy course, you have to look towards that supreme architect of all easiest courses in the world -- the U.S. Department of Defense! Pick virtually any one of the dozens (if not...
I see Luke Donald testing a new Mizuno 850 JPX at the Players with three slots for sliding weights that can be added in various combinations to move CG forward and back or left and right. Nothing on THP about this so far. Any insider dope that anyone can share? It looks like it offers a...
One more word on the SB wedges. I also note that they DO NOT have micro-etched or milled faces as the ATV's do. Just plain smooth faces. Personally, I'll take the extra spin that a roughed up face (either Micro or Milled) will give a wedge.
Here's a pic of an ATV I currently play, custom...
I was playing the other day with a young college golfer who was a magician around the greens. He hit flops and run outs and sand shots that were dropping my jaw, all with one old club. I asked him what it was and this is what he showed me.
Notice anything about the wide sole, general...
No, those other Japan models without the carbon steel are the Stainless or "Raw" or "Tour" finish that is available in the U.S. Hard to see in ebay photos, but the finish is different in hand. Carbon Steels are about 2x the price and have a two toned smoky finish. Stainless is stainless...
What about if you have just an extra head, which takes the same shaft and tip as an assembled club you're playing? What if you have just an extra shaft sticking?
I dunno. One buddy said it counts, another said it doesn't. One said you can't touch a club with a wrench in a round so it...
This just happened to me. Killed a sparrow on the wing about 10 yards off the tee box with a drive that still hit the fairway and went about 250. A nice 3 wood, wedge and a one putt for a birdie 4. Anyone else have any critter killing stories to share?
I just received a new Jetspeed driver and I was stunned by how big the head is. By far the biggest driver head I've ever seen, bigger than the SLDR or even than the massive G25, which looks deceptively large when viewed from above because it's a bit of a squashed flat egg. I pulled out all...
Please help me figure this out. In testing numerous drivers from various manufacturers this year, I have had a hard time juggling loft and face angle. I figured out pretty quickly that "9.5" from one company didn't equal "9.5" from another and that I had to look at what actual launch angles...
