I spent about two hours last week hitting my 56 and 60 degree AF wedges at the local Golfsmith. I was hitting off a mat and a lie board as the wedges need to be tweaked slightly flatter. Anyhoo...

OMG! The wedges were literally tearing the covers off of Titleist and Callaway practice balls. After each shot, I had to pick pieces of surlyn out of the grooves... I have a feeling that I might need to have more than a few extra balls in the bag this year!

Droopy

My 208KGX shreds balls like crazy and I can't stop myself from doing it :D

i agree with you guys. i posted some pics of the wedges tearing up ball covers. in time they will be less sharp but still have the ability to spin the ball. one of the best wedges imho.

I think this is pretty common with new wedges these days no?

yup, it's common. i shred with my scratches, chikaras, epons, and clevelands.

it's really annoying when it rips up your new prov1 and when it spins too much on the green.

You guys need to wear them down at the range.

yup! i baptize all my wedges in the range. 2 or 3 sessions will tame them a bit.
