 Reid Lockhart Wedges Patented Dual Bounce Sole |
Reid Lockhart Wedges
I took the new Reid Lockhart Wedges out for their debut today on the course. I had about an 80 yard shot out of the rough on my approach to a par 5. I stuck it to about 3 feet. I didn’t see a ball mark so I couldn’t tell what sort of stopping power the shot had. I hit a couple from the fairway on the same hole from about 90 yards out. Both shots hit the green and sucked back 8-9 feet from the ball mark. These shots had some serious spin on them. |
On the next hole, I tried several shots from about 85 yards to a firmer green. This green is notorious for resembling an asphalt parking lot in the summer as shots just bounce off of it and nothing holds. We’re having a wet spring here in Ohio but the green is still a bit firmer than the other greens on the course. I put five shots on the green and they each spun back anywhere from 3-6 feet.
I then went to the range and took some practice shots from 45 yards. The green sloped from front to back so I was landing the ball on a downhill slope. This took a lot of the spin off of the ball but the ball was jumping around like crazy after it hit trying to spin.
I cut all three of my wedges to 36 inches. When I regrip, I may change that. I think I may go with 35 3/4″ for the 52 degree wedge, 35 1/2″ for the 56 and 35 1/4″ for the 60.
These are sharp looking wedges that impart some superspin to the ball. They don’t seem to tear up the ball either like my Purespin wedges did when new. I probably need a few weeks to get used to them but so far they are performing very well.
If you would like to order a set, my partner and I are offering them for sale. You’ll find them retailing for $70 a club or $210 a set. We are offering the 3 wedge set (52, 56, 60) for $179.95 for our base configuration. That’s a savings of over $30.
If you want a specific shaft or a specific grip, we can quote you on what the difference in price would be. Standard shipping is $15.95 in continental U.S.
