Recently I started a thread asking for suggestions for wedges that could create a higher spin than my current Cobra Trusty Rustys. I was already leaning towards a Nakashima NP-1 as I have played that wedge a few times from my playing partners bag and can spin it like there is no tomorrow.
There was a lot of love for the Mack Daddy 2 wedges, and I'll admit, the mouse cursor hovered above the "Add to Cart" button on a MD2 many times following these suggestions, however (luckily) another wedge was suggested, and immediatly it was love at first sight!
Enter the Yururi Raw Gekku wedge from Japan!
Everything I read about this wedge just made me lust for it more and more. "It spins the cover straight off the ball...", "The Raw finish grips the ball and really rips it...", and my personal favourite, "If God designed a wedge to rip it and still look amazing, the Yururi is that wedge"!!
And so my mind was made up, I HAD to have one of these for my bag.
At 1:30am last wednesday I bit the bullet, and at 4:30pm today my new pride and joy arrived.
The first thing that stands out about this wedge is the outstanding craftmanship involved in its manufacture. I mean, the wedge is hand made, and there isnt a single whisker out of place! The texture of the raw finish is unquestionably the sexiest finish on any club I have ever seen. EVER!!!! The square grooves look really well machined and the texture of the face with these grooves is sure to generate a hell of a lot of spin.
I have chosen to team the head with a KBS Black Nickel Wedge shaft (I play KBS shafts in all my irons) and a Dance with Dragons grip from Japan. As soon as these 2 components get here I will drop them off to get built and throw up some feedback on how it performs.
Stay tuned for more of my journey into JDM gear!
