At the time i purshased the the rac wedge, my pitching and chipping was stuggling. My current LW (an older Wilson)wasn't cutting it for me. I decided to go with the rac wedge because i had been very satisfied with my other Taylor Made clubs (rac OS irons and R80 driver), and the satifaction was continued. The heavy club head made it easy to get under the ball and get it up in the air as well as control my chips. The only thing i have to say is that if you do getr this club you can't be passive. At firt i found myself leaving my pitches and chips short so it took me a while to biuld up the aggresion. All in all the wedge was a wonderful buy.

I've used alot of different kinds of wedges. The TM Point & Shoot sand wedge was good for easy outs from the bunker. But the finish faded fast & they were terrible from around the green/fringe. Plus the fact that they were very head heavy (this was how they were made marketable towards bunker shots). The TM LCG wedges that went with the LCG iron set were decent to hit with from the bunker/fringe/fairway. But I did not get much bite or backspin from them (probably cuz the grooves were really small. They were also cavityback wedges so feel was a little decresed compared to the Vokeys, which were my next wedge set. They Vokeys had very good feel around the fringe/fairway. I got some bite around the greens, but only on full shots (my ball is the Maxfli Revolution). It's true that the very chromey finish was a little distracting. Overall, they were the best wedges compared to the previous ones I used. Until I tried the RAC's. I noticed that these were lighter than the Vokeys. The finish a little less distracting. The big difference for me between these & the Vokeys was the bite & backspin I got on less than full shots. In between the U-grooves, you can see "micro-grooves" cut into the face. They're kinda like swirls. I guess these made the difference if anything, but on full open-faced shots, I'm noticing backspin when I didn't have them with the Vokeys. The Feel Pockets on the RAC wedges do offer a better feel on centered shots. So, in my opinion, what the RACs have over the Vokeys are the slightly lighter weight, less chromey finish, better feel, & better bite on the greens. That last one though may depend on the ball you're using, but I was able to stop a Top-Flite after 2 bounces with a full swing 54* wedge.

I bought a (gap) wedge and later decided to get the sand and lob, too. Very nice. So nice, that you have to be careful not to get too cute with them. My wedge exposure is limited to some so-so Pure Spin wedges that I got for $40 apiece on the internet. The difference between those and the TM Rusty Wedges is like the difference between Yuban coffee and Peet's coffee. I'm sure there are other great wedges out there, just like there are other great cofees out there. I just didn't try them because of a proclivity for anything Taylor Made (same goes for Peete's Coffee - both of which are really stupid biases). But I do love these 3 and am building my short game around them. Wish I'd started like this years ago. There are great deals on these on Ebay. Try them out.

I prefer the heavy swingweight on this club because it helps me control my distance more. I really cant spin this wedge but I really use this club for 30-yard pitches, chips and flop shots. I'll think I'll go out and buy the 52 degree RAC FE2O3 wedge for more spin....

I have the 56 degree with 12 degrees of bounce. My distance control is more consistent with this club. Let's face it, it's not how far you can hit a wedge that counts, it's how consistently you control the distance. My ball flight with this wedge is now consistently high (it was high before, but not consistent) which helps with stopping the ball on hard greens. I'm also able to shape a little drop fade with this club easily. I don't use a LOB wedge anymore and have no need for it since I began using this club. If I need more loft I just lay open the clubface and, voila!, all the loft I need.

This is the best wedge on the market, period. It is very soft, even if you don't hit it dead center of the face. The rust finish is awesome. It takes a while to rust, but it is well worth the rate, because you can feel the ball sitck to the club more. You can throw some darts with the 52*. If i am inside about 115 yards i pull it out and stick it to no more than 15 feet every time. The ball just hits the green and stops where it hits. This is, in my opinion the best wedge on the market.

Great Club! I decided to trade my 60-deg LOB wedge for a 52-deg Gap Wedge. Always loved my TM Sand Wedge, and the look of the RTG Cleveland wedges so decided to give the TM FE2O3 a chance. Extremely consistent contact, stops the ball quickly and that ability will only increase as the club rusts. Would recommend it to anyone looking for a gap wedge. May even look at getting a 56-deg model to replace my sand wedge.

I look at these reviews and notice that everyone looks like they know what they're talking about. Then I look at what they shoot and notice that most these people are no better, if not worse than me. I golf in the 82-88 range and decided to splurge on a name brand wedge. The TM lob wedge looked real nice so I decided to buy it. No real reason why. I didn't compare it to anything. Just bought it because it was asthetically pleasing. I took it out on the course, where I used it 7 times and noticed it worked just about as good as my no name Walmart sand wedge. And wouldn't ya know, I golfed an 87. It looks real nice, it feels real nice, but in the end, it's painfully obvious that it's not the club that makes the golfer.
