Tour Edge has seen plenty of success with their lines of Wingman putters over the previous few years. Wingman has helped golfers achieve more confidence on the greens thanks to its high MOI designs and Lock-On Technology. Today, Tour Edge is expanding the Wingman lineup to incorporate another area of the short game as they unveil the new Wingman Wedges.

“The forged Wingman Wedge is all about performance and feel,” said Tour Edge President and Master Club Designer, David Glod. “In order to match our game-changing Wingman Putter Series and how they have made putting easier for golfers since we first launched the Wingman brand in 2020, we wanted to focus on creating a wedge deserving of the Wingman name that moves the needle as far as playability and overall consistency for every level of player.”
It took Tour Edge two years to develop a wedge design that would deliver elevated performance, and one worthy of the Wingman name. Since it happens to be part of the Wingman family, you know these wedges must have plenty of tech to talk about.

One of the most prominent characteristics golfers talk about when speaking of wedges is how they feel, particularly their softness. For the Wingman Wedges, the head is a forged construction that houses two undercut pockets on the heel and toe sections. Those cavities help create perimeter weighting and are filled with Tour Edge’s VIBRCOR TPU. VIBRCOR is used heavily in the 723 iron series, and we’ve seen it become more prevalent over the last few release cycles. VIBCOR helps remove unwanted vibrations, dampen the sound, and aid in a more solid feeling clubhead. With its forged design and the addition of this TPU, there should be little doubt that the Wingman wedges will hold up in the feel department.

One of the trends that has been happening in the wedge industry for years now is finding a way to raise the center of gravity to control launch and spin. Tour Edge has milled a high-toe pad, which they call their “winged” weight pad. These pads also help boost forgiveness, especially when opening the face and contact strays out toward that high toe area.
Tour Edge’s new Triple-Traction Face delivers three separate milled areas, including milled groves, milled micro grooves, and some milling out on the toe. Another trend in the industry has been to go with a full-face groove design. For the Wingman, Tour Edge didn’t stretch those grooves out, but they did expand the scoring section by 10%, providing a slightly larger hitting area while still keeping a more traditional appearance.

Wingman Wedges also benefit from what I call The Langer Effect. Bernhard Langer’s resume speaks for itself. He’s a two-time Masters champion (1985 & 1993), has the 2nd most wins (42) in the history of the European Tour, and was the inaugural golfer atop the Official World Golf Rankings. If you haven’t noticed, he’s also been a dominant force on the PGA Tour Champions, where earlier this season, he set the mark for most career victories on tour (46). Langer is also a Tour Edge staff member and played an instrumental role in designing the new Wingman wedges. Getting back to The Langer Effect, when it comes to these Wingman wedges, there was something specific he wanted, and that was to ensure these wedges had a consistent and perfect amount of offset. While offset may not be a specification that generally comes to mind when talking about wedges, it was important to Langer, and he was impressed with the performance of the Wingman wedges in this regard.
“I am always looking for a forged wedge with the right amount of offset and eventually started to ask the R&D team at Tour Edge what they thought they could come up with,” said Langer. “What came back has astounded me with its performance. I put one prototype right into play the week I tested it because I could just tell that the design was just plain easier to hit and far more consistent than my other wedges.”

Offset in wedges, like mentioned above, is likely something you have yet to put too much thought into, but it does have some benefits that could help golfers improve their short game. For starters, having some additional offset in wedges helps golfers get their hands more in front of the leading edge, which helps promote a downward strike. On these Wingman wedges, the offset design also helps place the bounce in a more optimal position, which should help lead to more consistency via cleaner contact. The benefits above are why the Wingman Wedges have a consistent 3.0mm offset throughout. It works for Langer, and it could work for you.

Wingman wedges come in three unique grind options that incorporate five different bounces. Below is a quick synopsis of each model.
F/S Grind: F/S stands for Firm Sweeper and targets golfers who play in firm conditions and the golfer looking for less bounce due to a shallower angle of attack.
Lofts: 54°/8°, 56°/8°, 58°/6°, 60°/6°
M/N Grind: M/N, or Mid Neutral, is the all-around wedge and will cover a broad segment of golfers. Unlike the other two grinds, this wedge has a consistent 10° of bounce throughout.
Lofts: 50°/10°, 52°/10°, 54°/10°, 56°/10°, 58°/10°, 60°/10°
S/D Grind: Featuring the highest bounce of all the lines, the S/D, or Soft Digger, is for players who play in softer conditions or tend to get steep with their angle of attack. Play in soft/fluffy bunkers? Look no further.
Lofts: 50°/12°, 52°/12°, 54°/14°, 56°/14°, 58°/12°, 60°/12°
In addition to the different loft and grind options, each wedge features a replaceable weight on the back between the VIBRCOR pockets. The stock weight is 5 grams, but golfers can choose from other weight options such as 2.5 grams, 7.5 grams, 10 grams, and 12.5 grams to further fine-tune their clubs. With these weight options, golfers can adjust the feel and performance of their wedges to better suit their swing and playing style.
It’s no secret that Tour Edge offers some of the best values in golf, and the new Wingman Wedges are no exception. These forged wedges are priced very competitively at $139.99, making them a more affordable option for golfers looking to improve their short game.

So overall I’m really happy with the Wingman Wedges, I just need to set them up with graphite shafts and midsize grips so I’m more comfortable with them.
Well I did it, pulled the steel shafts out of the Wingman Wedges and put in UST Recoil 95s with Lamkin UTX Midsize grips. I pulled these from a couple of old Cleveland wedges, and they came out just a bit shorter than stock, but I don’t think enough to make a noticeable difference. I’m hoping to get out tomorrow afternoon to give them a go.

Interested to see how these work for you with the Recoil 95s. I likewise have Cleveland (CBXs) from which I could pull the Recoil 95s
Put in another round with the Wingman Wedges yesterday, and it was a real mixed bag. On the good side, the Recoil shafts made a big difference in feel, so much better for me than steel. I was hitting them pretty good on full swings, distance was a bit erratic, but that was on me, as I was seeing that with all my irons yesterday. I think I hit these a little higher than I hit my Clevelands, and they definitely spin more, as I’m getting more shots spinning back on the greens than I’m used to.
Chipping wasn’t so good though, flight, check-up, and roll-out were all good and as expected when I struck the ball well, but my contact was very inconsistent. I was really struggling with turf interaction when chipping, sure some of that was a few really wonky lies, but I think part of it is that the soles on the Wingman Wedges are considerably different than on my Clevelands. I probably just need to get used the difference in the sole design, and the offset probably has an affect on delivery too, so that might be another thing I need to adapt to. I was following a pretty packed course, playing alone with no one behind me, so I was able to drop several balls to hit some of those chips several times, and was doing better late in the round with all the practice I was getting. I really need to spend more time practicing at the short-game area to dial myself in with these.
So far I’m pretty impressed, the feel with these wedges is really good, and I’m sure I’ll be hitting them more consistently as I get more time in with them.
Sun is out, snow has finally melted here and I plan to actually unwrap these wedges and get some in hand pics and comparison with my current wedges. Not as prompt with the reviews on these and I plan to change that, especially now my range is opening up this weekend.
Still planning to get some simulator time on these as well, I’ll be taking my ESB1 and getting my current wedge setup and do a side by side with the Wingmans to see what outside numbers & range rocks look like.

I will say, bouncing a Pro V1 on the face (juggling) and mini chips really show how soft feeling these are when you get the sweet spot.
Also, I think $20 a weight is a bit steep if you wanted to really dial these wedges in.
Both [USER=19877]@Mmaynard11[/USER] and I hit this today in the tech studio. The soft dense sound really surprised me honestly and the thing spun like crazy. I was impressed
I was equally surprised and impressed with this wedge. First shot at a pin 105yds and I stuck it to 5’. Feel was great with a muted sound. While there is more offset I never even noticed. Great results on the six swings I took.
The milling and finish on these wedges is something else.
And i noticed in the face there’s milling that produces a center guide.
Cant wait to give these a full swing.

Hit the 56 twice today short sided from iffy lies. The S/D grind did a good job of getting through the slop and giving me a putt.
Sim rounds this week seemed to confirm what I’ve seen on the course, that distance control 40-100 is where these really shine for me. Feel like I don’t have surprises on how far the ball is carrying on those shots.
Well, Colorado once again has decided to flip the weather script so these will get first taste of real golf in the morning.
Used these a bunch around the green today. Getting some really nice spin out of short shots. Seems like I’m getting used to the bunker shots with the 56 more, just have to dial in the distance control a little more since I’ve been using a 60 for those shots up until getting these.
Mats for range & par 3’s today. Hit some warm up shots with both 50* & 56*.
Steel feels different, heavy and hard to get a solid strike.
TAIII vs Wingman 50*

Those were fully cold swings, first time hitting but lie angles are an issue all together with me for sure.

Feel is something else for sure, I actually hit a clean one from 130ish to the middle, helping wind and felt so soft. Pitched on the pin & spun back 10ft sideways
I’m already feeling I need the 60*.
Worst lie of the round, used the 56* and was able to splash behind it without blading it a zillion miles away.
[ATTACH type=”full”]9219275[/ATTACH]
Today’s round was a mixed bag. Ignoring the partial shank in deep rough, these wedges are something else.
Feel on a flushed shot is so clean & soft. Off center don’t feel bad, sound is a bit more clicky to my mind.
Spin is stupid. Got to hit some different shots including a low spinner from uphill lie that normally I struggle with but the ball took off, hit the green & skipped forward before hand brake to inside 10ft.
One missed longish greenside pitch I completely dug through but the follow up again bounced/checked & stopped.
Offset is really not an issue, only 1mm more than current wedges & felt they were really easy to line up & fire.
Not sold on the shafts, got some pre-lim range data to post tomorrow once it’s cleaned.
I have enough of a data set around the green in Shot Scope to start looking at some numbers:
For 2023 on all shots, my averages are: 49% up & down, 12 ft proximity, 2.5 shots to finish.
52* S/D Wingman: 62% up & down, 10 ft proximity, 2.4 shots to finish. After my putter, these numbers are the best of any other club I’ve used around the green a meaningful number of times. This aligns with my experience that this is the wedge I like most for stock chips and pitches.
56* S/D Wingman: 36% up & down, 14 ft proximity, 2.7 shots to finish. These numbers align with my experiences of not quite being 100% dialed on the “specialty” shots like bunkers and flops. However, they are very similar to the numbers on my 60* (39% up & down, 14 ft proximity, 2.7 shots to finish), which was previously my highest lofted wedge in the bag. Given I have 348 recorded shots with the 60* and 14 on the 56* Wingman, I feel like there’s a lot of upside still on the Wingman.
It sounds like some mixed results and some folks very excited about it. I guess it is important to match the grinds correctly with ones style of play.
Really excited for our homepage review article to go up, these are nothing short of absolutely impressive in all aspects for me/
I find myself always coming back to this page.
I’ll have the Wingman wedges out tomorrow, on a course where they will probably get a lot of work. This course usually beats me up, with missed greens and ending up in a lot of green side bunkers.
A really interesting day with the Wingman wedges today. Full swings were great, the shaft change made a real positive difference in feel, and my distances are much closer to what I would normally expect.
The 56* M/N was absolute money from greenside bunkers. I ended up finding five of them, and had some of my best bunker play ever. I normally use my 60* for greenside bunkers, but it looks like this 56* might have taken over that job.
On the other side of the coin my chipping with the 50* S/D was terrible. My 50* wedge has always been my go to club for chipping, and with a high degree of confidence, but I’m just not doing well at all with this one. Hopefully I can work this out, because it can make a big difference having real confidence in one club for chipping, and I’m missing that right now.
Work, wet weather, and too much to do around the house has kept me from getting out on the golf course this week. I should be playing a couple of times next week though, so hopefully more thoughts and feedback on these wedges coming soon.
I got another round in with the Wingman Wedges yesterday, at a course I haven’t played in a long time, and a good one for the wedge game. Several full swing shots with the 50* and 56*, and plenty of work with them around the greens. Some tricky areas around several of the greens called for more than just the go-to chip shots, but conditions around the greens were just about ideal, and both wedges provided all I could ask for in versatility, feel, and performance. (y)
I’ll be playing my home course tomorrow, and I’m hoping I can follow up yesterday’s short game performance with another good outing.
Another great day with the Wingman Wedges the other day. Played my home course in wet conditions, it was maybe the last day of CPO before letting everyone back off the paths, so wet but not sloppy. I’m not sure if I’m just finding the groove with these wedges, or if they just excel in these conditions, but this is two rounds in a row where my wedge game has been about as good as I can do. Chipping has definitely come around with the 50*, with two near chip-ins (one lipped out, the other hung on the edge), and the 56* is becoming a really confident club from green side bunkers.
Anyone that can get a chance should really give these a try, I’m pretty sure you will come away very impressed.
So I’m coming up on the end of my time with these. If you said that some wedges from our TEEm Tour Edge reviews would be what lasted the longest in my bag I’d have been pretty surprised. Since switching to MB irons I’ve found myself wanting a little less offset and a little smaller profile, but they are still performing great. After a season plus with them, a couple things that stick out is how consistent they are on mid to full shots, and how well their grinds perform as intended.

Solid, mainly I’d say because they have good feel and the grinds are working well for me.
I’ve been going back & forth with these wedges, when I first got them they were stellar bit I’m starting to see less spin action, which considering their age from TEEM Tour Edge 2023, these may need to become the backup set or when visitors come.
Still great wedges but I definitely am losing grab with 2 seasons or so of play (not huge amounts of rounds). Today’s greens were dried out, crispy and bouncy, we don’t have water on yet cos it could snow here.
