I'm not sure how I missed this, but that is DIRTY! The combo I am looking at myself too.Pretty good looking murdered out w the Onyx TI S400s and the whiteout NDMC too.

I will add my two cents... I had some Glide 2 wedges and a Titleist 917 driver that had been gathering dust, so I traded them in and added a little cash to acquire three new MD4 wedges, a 52 S bent to 51, a 56 S bent to 55, and a 60 X grind. I played them today during a quick 9 and then messed around with them for a bit after finishing the 9.
They do not feel as soft as my MD forged, but they have a very satisfying feel, sort of a soft, dense sensation, if that makes any sense. They are fantastic with full swings. They spin madly, as much as any wedge I have ever played. The yardages are good. They are truly easy to hit with full swings. I have not yet tried them out of the sand, so I cannot speak to them there. I was struggling with the X grind during my round. After the round, I got a feel for it. Here is my warning on the X grind. You CANNOT come at the ball with a steep swing. If you do, you will struggle. The club will dig. If you make sure you shallow out the swing, the club becomes magical. The ball will stop exactly where it lands like it is a magnet and the ground is a big piece of iron.
I think I am going to really like them, but they are not as easy to use out of the gate as my MD forged were. Once I adjust, I think they will be real weapons.
Though I think I'm defying physics then with the X grind as I'm a steep mofo. Haha
It's strange that you are seeing issues with the X Grind w/ a steep swing. When I was at the ECPC, Roger Cleveland told me to stay away from the X Grind because I am a sweeper and wasn't steep enough to make the X Grind work out well. He went on to say that the X Grind was designed for a steep angle of attack, maybe there is a line between good steep and too steep? After he gave me that feedback, I didn't even hit the X Grind, but @Pringles got a full wedge lesson and ended up with the X Grind. Maybe Roger was being nice after seeing me chip and said he's hopeless, lets not get sexy with this grind selection. Maybe if @Pringles wouldn't have hogged the man....
Looking forward to getting these dirty

I certainly could not argue with the man who has an entire company that bears his name. I swear, though, that my swing thought when I began to really make the X grind work was to come the ball almost sideways or horizontally.
I'm enjoying the finish durability for sure.
Not sure totally if they're going to oust my wedgeworks, but its a damn close race.
I am, it's been a lot of fun thus far. Still waiting to break in the grooves some more before I put them on GC2 though.Still a fan of the X grind?

Much better feel around the greens with this club. I can max out my 54* at 100 yards if need be, which would have to be the perfect hit, but I now only use the 54* from distances of 75-85 yards. I rather hit a half-swing Gap wedge with the extra forgiveness in the Epic iron. The max I'll use my 58* is around 65 yards. Could I get more out of it? Absolutely, but it seems when I take the full swing with these clubs it's tough to hit it center.
Chips lately have been some toe misses, so I worked on squaring the face better this weekend with both wedges and got the results I needed to get closer to the hole. Uphill lies, downhill lies, I was very happy around the greens with the extra spin grooves. Just have to work on hitting down and not picking it clean since that has been my focus lately.
I love the graphics in this video!
I'm getting more and more comfortable with these in the bag, still not totally sure if they make it for the season, but its getting close. That lowest partial groove is just killer for me right now in the 56W and 60X around the greens. Additionally though, the 50 on full swings is doing what I need it to numbers wise, that club/gap is why I made the move from the RTX3 that I loved to the SM6's, and its one that I absolutely must have comfort, confidence, and consistency with in full swings, so far the MD4 have delivered there. Next week I'm finally going to do some wedge vs wedge testing for the bag with the SM6 WW's and these MD4's, I think I have put enough time on these to break them in pretty well and make this a toe to toe fight.
