I've used my Scratch wedges for over a month now, so I figured I can now give an honest review on them. I've used every wedge imaginable, so I have plenty to compare these with.
I have a 53 degree with TNC grind and a 59 with a EGG grind. Both are satin chrome and have Project X 5.5 shafts and are the standard head shape.
First of all, they look incredible. I was almost scared to hit them because they are just too pretty, but I'm glad I got over that. The satin chrome is very nice and glare isn't a problem. And I love the stamping on mine, they just have the Scratch logo and the loft on the sole. Very classy. Also, the shape of the wedge is perfect with a square-ish toe and straight leading edge. I find them much easier to line up due to that.
I've used them now for a month, and the performance of the wedges can be summed up in one word: incredible. The grinds do exactly as they are supposed to. I have a driver/slider type swing, and these grinds are just what I needed. I have greatly reduced my fat and thin shots and with that my confidence over the ball has grown significantly. Just knowing your equipment suits you is a real boost.
The feel is just wonderful. Very soft and yet responsive. These things honestly make rock-hard range balls feel like Pro V1's. I found that my distance control has improved significantly on both partial and full shots. Spin is excellent, and the best thing is that they don't chew up golf balls. I'm getting just as much spin as I did with my Vokey Spin Milled's, but without having to replace a Pro V1 every shot.
The only downside I've noticed is that I find myself wanting to hit these wedges when I shouldn't, simply because I love hitting them that much. I'll pull the 53 degree from 125, and that's really pushing it, but what they heck, if I come up short then I get to chip with the 59.
So, to sum it up, these are everything I could have asked for in a wedge. Yes, they cost more than most other wedges, but I thought improving my short game was worth it. If you want the absolute best for your game, I highly suggest Scratch wedges. I'm hoping that a set of Scratch irons will soon be in the bag.
