Chanaa Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 i think i will bump this thread, there have been many wedge posts as of late and i think this will help a lot of those thinking of what wedge to get. so after 4 months of heavy use, and many moments of pondering what other wedges to get, i still have these in the bag and are not endanger of being booted out any time soon, most likely never. why i like these: 1. Beautiful compact head shape 2. A1 versatile grind, easily opens up 3. Laser milled grooves for more spin 4. Beautiful adamantium esque raw finish. 5. Lower trajectory (Dent back) 6. crazy spin even for a conforming model 7. Prototype limited edition. what could be improved: 1. a 3 set combo instead of two with a 56 13 bounce and a 59/60 with 6/7* bounce other than that it really is the perfect wedge. RC has nailed it with this one! i have bent my 52 to a 50 to close the gap between my pw which is around 46*. i was originally using DG SPinners on these for about two months, these were the months when i was undecided and 50/50 on the wedge. the spinners had spin but being softer were the poor choice for full shots( which i use with my 52 alot) having put shimada blacks 120 has breathed new life into them. they are a different wedge altogether, crazy spin and lower flight that checks the ball! i dont think these are the spinniest wedges nor the most user friendly but they serve my purposed just fine. the sole grind makes it easier to blast out of thick 3 inch rough and the 58 is the most used club around the greens and bunker. i just wish it had less bounce. as i play these 50/58 i am using a 56deg scratch bent to 54 to fill in the gap. a RC DB 56 non proto would fit the bill nicely. i will take pics of my wedges sometime this week. most of the slight rusting is in the DB cavity, honestly i dont mind it anymore. hardest part is the first rust spot, after that you soon forget. and only 500 sets guys, grab em while you can. Thks. Going thru this thread, you used to play the kenmochis. Are you comparing the abv with kenmochis or just general observation of the rc protos ? The only diff between the protos & the rc db 2012 forge model is the finish correct - that being the protos are raw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoon Posted November 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 The kenmochis were very good, very versatile grind as well, more spin Due to non conforming grooves, bent 1.5 flat they were super awesome. I just got bored with them and when the protos came around It was a no Brainer to switch, and being lofted the same 52/58 decided to stick with protos. The observations posted are jus for the protos, not comparing em to anything else. I think the diff with the protos the finish and the laser milling on the face. As for the Grind, youl have to ask Gocchin about it. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ara selai Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 I play the non-Proto 52/58 combo. They displaced first Cleveland 588 Tours and then Miuras. There's been no looking back! Literally everyone who hits them loves them. They have excellent, controlled spin (as noted above, not "super spin" like some), dense head weight, and a great look from all lies. I am by no means a wedge monster ( it's the worst part of my game), but my confidence has increased tremendously using these. Highly recommended in the non- Proto version. No shame if you missed the Proto boat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
