Feel 56 Degree Sand Wedge

Ever wish that you could hit a blade like the pros? Or that you could be consistent from fifty to seventy yards to the pin? What if I said that you could do both and look cool doing it? No, it's not voodoo, just good science, specifically the superior engineering skills of Lee "Dr. Feel" Miller PhD. He came up with this crazy idea where a forged blade wedge could be hit just as easily as a cavity back. The plan was to use a system of equal toe and heel surface area for premium handling and club stability, a six-way tour ground sole to gain more consistent control of problem shots, and frequency matching so that every wedge feels exactly the same.

Did he succeed? I'll say. I've always been intimidated by blades, but the Feel wedge has me ready to convert. I tested their Satin wedge with a 52-degree loft and nine-degree bounce. The first thing I noticed was the weight, it was a little heavier than I was used to, but the balance was superb. My game being what it is, I had ample opportunity to hit from the sand and the rough as well as the occasional fairway. I had a pleasant surprise waiting for me nearly every time; on almost every occasion I overshot the green. The sand was the biggest shock; it was if there was no sand at all under the ball. Arcs were clean and high (although a little long) and most importantly, straight where I aimed them.

Feel's Line of Designer Wedges

They also happen to be fairly attractive clubs. The basic shape is utilitarian; you can tell that these clubs mean business and were designed to perform. Not much on decoration, the wedges bear only the "FEEL" logo and loft degree. As far as finish goes you have a choice; the Satin wedge has a classic glare-free chrome finish, but for those golfers who have a need to really stand out, Feel's Designer series may catch your eye. With the Designer series, the head of the wedge is color-coded to the loft: 46 degree bronze, 52 degree yellow, 56 degree blue, 60 degree red, and 64 degree green. The metallic colors with gunmetal sole and faces are quite the attention getters. Each Designer wedge comes with a head cover to keep them looking sharp.

The bottom line is that I can't think of a more aptly titled wedge. The performance, weight, balance, handling, and general "feel" of this club is outstanding. You simply have to get one in your hand to understand, and I recommend that you do so as soon as possible for your short game's sake. For about a hundred and change you can get one almost anywhere clubs are sold or online at feelwedges.com.
