Tour Edge has today unveiled their all-new Exotics Wingman Wedge Series featuring three different grinds available in five total bounces.

These all-new forged designs feature feel-enhancing VIBRCOR pockets, a constant offset in design for added forgiveness and consistency and a larger, Triple-Traction Milled Face in a bid to provide optimal spin control.

One of the major features of the Wingman’s forgiving nature is the 3.0mm constant offset applied to the design. Hall of Famer Bernhard Langer was instrumental in the design of the Wingman Wedge.

“I am always looking for a forged wedge with the right amount of offset and eventually started to ask the R&D team at Tour Edge what they thought could come up with. What came back has astounded me with its performance. I put one prototype right into play the week I tested it because I could just tell that the design was just plain easier to hit and far more consistent than my other wedges.” – Bernhard Langer

Deep undercut pockets were machined to house the proprietary VIBRCOR performance TPU. VIBRCOR creates a distinct feel at impact that dampens sound and shock, while also increasing the MOI and perimeter weighting of the wedge in design for added forgiveness.

The “winged” weight pad on the toe creates a higher Center of Gravity seeking to offer lower launch and greater spin.

The High-Toe Pad holds the face slightly open to optimize the face angle from full shots to flop shots. This is designed to work in conjunction with the offset design to deliver more accuracy and control. The High-Toe wing progresses in thickness as loft increases to maintain ideal launch performance through each loft.

The new Triple-Traction Face technology features three milled areas on the face: milled grooves, milled micro-grooves in between the scoring lines and milled toe lines.

The larger strike area on a face is 10% larger than a traditional wedge, in a bid to boost spin in every condition and allowing for added versatility. The sole in uniquely milled into three different grinds: an F/S Grind for a firm- ground player with a tendency to be a sweeper (6°/8° Bounce), a M/N Grind for a player who with a mid-firm ground or a variety of surface that benefits from a more neutral setup (10° Bounce) and a S/D Grind for a softer-ground player who has a tendency to dig (12°/14° Bounce).

F/S GRIND – Firm Turf/ Sweeping Path

The F/S ‘Firm Sweeper’ plays on predominantly firm ground and/or has a sweeping attack angle at the ball. Firm ground conditions and/or a shallower sweeping path require less bounce on the sole of the wedge to minimize turf interaction. 

M/N Grind – Medium Turf/ Neutral Path

The M/N ‘Mid Neutral’ plays on predominantly medium firm ground (or a variety of firm and soft ground) and/or has a neutral attack angle at the ball. Medium ground conditions and/or a neutral attack angle benefit from mid bounce on the sole of the wedge. 

S/D Grind – Soft Turf/ Digging Path

The S/D ‘Soft Digger’ plays on predominantly soft ground and/or has a deep, digging attack angle at the ball. Soft ground conditions and/or a digging attack angle require more bounce on the sole of the wedge to assist the wedge from

digging into the turf. 

A 5-gram weight installed in the middle of the VIBRCOR pockets allows for swing weight adjustability. Other weights are available in 2.5 grams, 7.5 grams, 10 grams and 12.5 grams to dial in swing weight and feel for perfected customization.

The Exotics Wingman Wedge Series will be available at a Tour Edge authorized retailer for an MSRP of $139.99 and will be available at retail starting October 2nd.
