jaskanski 1,321 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Nice. The 'EF' is actually the electroformed groove and face made from nickel cobalt. The main advantages of this design is long lasting groove sharpness. If anyone remembers the old Ram TW wedges from a few years back, they made a few in cobalt with "spin grooves" which were an absolute beast. Many pros couldn't get their hands on them fast enough... Should be a winner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaskanski 1,321 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Here's the "old" Ram design: Clearly the "spin groove" text struck a chord with TM. Needless to say the new TM wedges have conforming grooves whereas the Rams unfortunately do not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revkev 25,157 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Who cares? That was my thought so I figured that I'd share it. I'm happy with my wedges, if I were to look for new wedges I'd go Hogan, Ping (had great success with Ping wedges in my lifetime), Wilson, Mizuno and I'm quite certain I wouldn't have to look anywhere else past that. In fact I'm certain I wouldn't make it past Hogan. Sorry TMag, I will look at you for driver/fairway metal. You were the one that marketed yourself that way and while you did I went elsewhere for irons/wedges/hybrids and I struck gold. No need to darken your door for those pieces of equipment. 1 Quote Taylor Made Stealth 10.5 Aldila Ascent Red R flex Ping G410 5, 7, 9 wood Alta 65 R flex Wilson D7 forged 5-GW - Mamiya recoil 460 R flex Edison Wedges 54 and 59 KBS Tour Graphite 80's EVNRoll ER 5 Titleist Pro VIx optic yellow with revkev stamped on them Still on that elusive hunt for a 3 wood that I'm able to hit - I don't know why, I crush the 5 wood and it's really a 4 wood anyway.

Aotearoa_Brad 303 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 First impression is they look really busy - may perform well, but there are enough options out there for wedges that you can get both looks and performance, so these wouldn't be near the top of my list. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir 0 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 I have always thought Tmade wedges were underrated! I like the look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fozcycle 15,075 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 I will stick with my new to me SCOR's. I have been hitting my wedges very deadly from 90 yards to 10 yards. I am very good when at 70 yards with my 57*. The TMAGs may look pretty but they won't score like my SCORs.

Baseballfrk8998 54 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Not a huge fan of the looks.. Other than that I'm sure they're fine. At the end of the day it's a wedge... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
