Super Tuna
You can't scale this!
I'd like to welcome our contestants back to Celebrity Tunaity. Before we begin I would like to say that comment was not necessary Mr. Connery, were you raised by a squid? Here are the topics of the double scaled round
A: Feel / Forged vs Cast
Feel is quite a subjective but I do want to touch on it. SCOR calls these wedges Tru forged which is a blend of the forged and cast process. Being totally honest, these don’t feel like any other forged club I’ve used. You won’t confuse these for Anser wedges for example but at the same time, they aren’t as harsh as my Scratch 8620’s, Jaws or xFT’s. The SCOR’s offer an audible click which is more pleasing to me. It’s a deep click at a lower volume but still loud enough that you get instant feedback about your shot. I like the sound a lot, I know right away if I missed the sweet spot, if I hit it to hard or to soft. With some other wedges they sound the same if I hit it lightly or ¾ it and it’s here the SCOR’s shine.
That being said if you’re looking for that softness in your wedge, that’s not what you get here. There’s a noticeable difference between my irons and the SCOR wedges in how soft they are but I’d say the Pro Combo’s are plenty soft, amongst the softest feeling forged irons that you can get off the rack. I like the forged “feel” better but I’ve never found a forged wedge I like. These SCOR’s are a great middle point in the forged/cast debate and at this point, I’d say the performance beats both.
B: Distance Variation
I really want to touch on just how consistent the distance is with these wedges with the same swing. There’s no sudden fliers or shots that appear to die for no reason. You make the same swing with the same grip and the same ball and what you get is the same. The below two pictures were two shots I took with a half swing, second grip marking up for my lower hand with a Penta. In the first picture I slipped a little bit, hence the distance between the two of them. The second picture is what I’m regularly seeing with these as long as I stay consistent with my setup and swing.
The following picture might be a little harder to make out, I’ll blow it up later if I can. I tried to take this from behind the hole to show the ball placement of a shot done down at the first finger grip and then the second finger grip. You’ll note that there isn’t much between the balls in terms of the line that their on which is great. Also important is that the distance difference between these shots is the only thing that changes about them. They still bite the same, they still have the same pitch mark, etc, etc. The word of the day and my experiences with these wedges is consistency. They’re like the Stricker of wedges. Make the same shot and they put you on the green in scoring position every time. When you need a helping hand for an up and down, they’re there for you too. Frankly the grips should have been done in Khaki.
Cheers guys. I’ve got another large write-up coming but I’m trying to make it into less of a block of text. Should be up tonight. For now I shall leave you with one last picture of something that’s occurring more and more as I get more comfortable with these.
