+TourSpecGolfer Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 This has got to be one of the coolest looking wedges on the market today, The RomaRo SX-R. It's forged of S20C with CNC milled features and laser score lines on the face, that's about as good as it gets now days. First thing you may notice is the notch on the sole, this notch improves contact with the ground and has a dual purpose of further allowing you to open the wedge face to enhance it's trailing edge grind and edge relief It's a very forgiving wedge as well, see that milled area near the top line, well that gives the wedge a nice thin top line look and lets RomaRo keep more meat everywhere else which not only helps with forgiveness but makes them feel nice and soft during impact, without this area the wedge would have to taper earlier putting less mass behind the impact zone or the top line would be really fat. As you can see above those laser mill marks look a bit funky on thface where the top line meets the first score lines but other than that I have no complaints, this wedge feels really good at impact thanks to the S20C, it's forgiving, workability I would rate high and also available in 7 different lofts: 48/7, 50/9, 52/9, 54/9, 56/12, 58/11, 60/8 so no complaints in the selection department. As you can see this wedge has been hit, it's not brand new and it's held up quite well over several rounds of play. This wedge does not replace the standard SX model as that one is a double bounce design, and a copper under layer which is very different than the SX-R. I played 4 holes yesterday and compared this to the Tataki, man really ruff choice choosing between these two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 Hi Chris，is there any guide line when choose between standard SX and SX-R？What type of game that each one of these models were aimed？BTW，great photos！Make the club looks even hotter.

+TourSpecGolfer Posted September 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 The IS is underrated, it's dual bounce meaning the heel has high bounce but toward the toe side of the heel it becomes low bounce which prevents a floating leading edge. So on the IS while the bounce is higher it doesn't exactly play to that, more versatile that way I guess. That and the fact that it's got a copper under layer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 I don't like to use the lob wedge. Normally, I'll open the club face of my 58* sand wedge more to do the flop shot. In this case, which will fit my game better? The dual bounce IS or the concave sole of SX-R? Thanks Chris! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiromikey Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 The thick top line and blade on blade design looks like they were made to go with the Epon Personals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
