For 2011, the Heavy Wedge is available with conforming grooves. With a head mass only slightly heavier than a conventional wedge, a 65-gram counterweight raises the club's balance point nearly 40 percent, promoting distance control, tighter shot dispersion, and unparalleled feel. The clubs are made from 8620 Carbon Steel and feature CNC milled face and grooves, and the 37 percent higher balance point produced by the back weighting system is the key to improved body mechanics. The clubs come in 52-, 54-, 56-, 58- and 60-degree models.
The Z-TP wedges are named for their "z" grooves, which feature sharper edges and 10 percent more volume than the Y-cutter grooves found in TaylorMade's rac wedges. These larger, more aggressively edged grooves deliver higher spin for more stopping power and make it more difficult for grass or other debris to become clogged. The C grind sole makes it easy to open the face differing degrees to play a variety of greenside shots, while the smoked PVD finish reduces glare and promotes improved focus. The clubs come in 52-, 54-, 56-, 58- and 60 degree models.
