Ok... I finally did it.  Went with the chrome, likely add two raw wedges in the future in 52 and 57.  Just can’t do the black, and I’d assume the brushed steel wears weird too.

 

 

... Yea, I like a chrome 48* to match my irons too. But I went with Black for my 52* and 58* then soaked them in white vinegar and viola! I had raw wedges:

I remember you posting that up before.  I looked for about a hour last night.  Thank you for reposting those pictures.

I got the snow dots, and asked for extra... going to do a little custom paint fill from an idea I saw a Scotty done up in.  A bunch of different colors.  It looked pretty cool

Dang it... should have gotten the black now... thanks a lot...

... Personal opinion of course, but again I prefer chrome in my gap wedge (48*) that matches my irons and I use for full shots. I like raw in my 52 and 58 that have more open faces and can glare in the sun.

Yeah, that is my approach to this too.  I might open the face on the 48° a few degrees, so I shouldn’t hVe to worry about the glare.

... It depends on the set wedge. I have played both set and dedicated wedges.

gotcha. was just curious. 

im currently playing a specialty GW to go with my T100 set.

i had a big gap from PW to 56* so i picked up a 52* vokey sm7 for $30 at PGASS to see how i utilize it the most. 

if it’s mostly full shots from 120-135 then i’ll probably replace it with the set wedge, but if i find myself chipping with it a lot then i’ll stick with the vokey (but get a new one).

I wouldn’t hVe been in my predicament... but the t100s PW is 44°, which is my ~145 club, oddly I don’t find myself in that range very much.  The next wedge is a 52, which I can get the ~130 range out of it... but I take flight.  I’d rather have a nice controlled 130-135 club.

when I tested the zip core 46° it was a 140 club, so... The 48° should fit in there nicely.

Im torn in the swing department.  I can smash the heck out of them if I need to, but I don’t like swinging like that for a whole round.  I’d rather just swing my “normal” swing and save the bigger hits for when I need them.

Of course he wouldn’t want to break up the set! Got the 52/56/60. He must swing to hard for those

Lol, anything under $50 shouldn't count toward my purchase quota

So at the beginning of this year, my GM, Head Pro, Superintendent and DOI who are all away of my club purchasing expoits took a poll on how many iron sets I'd buy in 2020, this was in January right after the PGA Show releases. 

They came up with an Over/Under of 3

Welcome to the team...

Was that an O/U of 3 for each of them? So 12 total... seems like that would be the closer bet.

So, uhhhh, this happened...

Yep that's a (well, another one posted in this thread) Cally Super Hybrid. And yep - CPO BF deal.

This one's a 23° and I picked one with a Project X Catalyst shaft in it, knowing I don't have the swing speed for the Tensei CK Pro Orange. It's a 5.0 flex, though - I'd usually play 5.5 - but thought it might pair well for me with this head. 

But.. just in case.. there was a Recoil 780 hybrid F3 shaft .. at the same playing length .. at what seemed a silly low price so grabbed it as a backup (and knowing that I like Recoils). 

This may be the first CPO club I bought that was not "Like New" ..

...there are some light marks on the face and one small chip where the face meets the crown, but otherwise in great shape and they graded it fairly.

And, no surprise - took it to the range this afternoon. And, in a bit of a surprise to me .. not knowing what to expect .. I LOVE IT!!!
