Posted March 31, 200420 yr comment_31882 How many of you guys have Scratch Wedges... what finish, lofts and grinds did you get. Post some pix of your Scratch wedges if you can too.
March 31, 200420 yr comment_31900 Still waiting for mine. Ari hasn't received the shafts yet (FCM stepped). Ordered 54* + 58*, antique finish with silver paint fill. Ari can tell you more about the grinds then I can. haribo
March 31, 200420 yr comment_31901 47*, 54* and 60* Satin Chrome. 4* bounce on the 47*. 54* @ 12* bounce and 60 @ 10*. Straight neck, minimal offset. Details on the grind... That's for Ari, I just asked for a slightly killed leading edge.
March 31, 200420 yr comment_31906 52* 6* of bounce 3X Black 58* 8* of bounce Antique . No paintfill and very limited stamping . You will have to ask Ari about the grind :oops: If I could post some pix's I would . Sorry .
March 31, 200420 yr comment_31923 I will be using them tomorrow. 58* 8* bounce. Heel, toe and trailing edge relief. 53* 8* bounce.. Heel, min Trailing edge relief. Unfinshed with 53 58 no dots with ERICH on the wedge and no Paint fill. They look great I am exicted to try them out. I will post pics when I get around to it. Just got home from a 3hr drive.
March 31, 200420 yr comment_31931 I'm playing Scratch CB's with Nickel finish which have a very Mizuno like grind for sweeper sliders like me. I've got 3 wedges 53 and 48 low bounce, minimal camber, killed leading edge, little trailing edge relief. The 58 has high bounce, trailing edge relief which lets me open her up, the bounce helps out of the traps. Lots of camber to help my sweeper slider chips and pitches. great wedge for around the green. I've been playing them with the Antique finish for about a year now and I couldn't be happier. The just antique looks better and better with time.
March 31, 200420 yr comment_31932 I got a 60* scratch, 6 degrees of bounce I belive. 3XB finish. Pretty sweet club
March 31, 200420 yr comment_31951 I've got a 53* with 7* bounce and a 58* with 8* bounce. Great wedges that will stay in the bag until the grooves wear out. 3xBlack finish.
March 31, 200420 yr comment_31980 Six irons: Scratch Proto CBs, brushed nickel finish, no paintfill; D-4; Project X 5.0 shafts; Titleist 962 triple grind sole, Tourstage Z101 toe shape; 9 iron has 45* loft, 36.375" length and 63.5* lie; irons progress 5* in loft and 0.625" in length to a 20* loft, 39.5" length and 60* lie 3 iron. There is no 5 iron as the 30* loft 6 iron is midway in loft and length between the 25* 4 iron and the 35* 7 iron. Four wedges: All brushed nickel, no paintfill; round head shape like the Mizuno MP series or Callaway wedges; D-4 50*: 35.75" length, 64.5 lie; PX 5.0 shaft; 6* bounce; Titleist 962 triple grind sole 55*: 35.5", 64.5* lie; TFR 5.0; 12* bounce; blunted leading edge; moderate camber; a little heel and trailing edge relief 60*: 35.25", 63* lie; TFR 4.5; 8* bounce; rounded leading edge; moderate camber; moderate heel, toe and trailing edge relief; lie 63* 64*: 35, 63* lie; TFR 4.5; 10* bounce; blunted leading edge; moderate camber; a little heel relief, moderate trailing edge relief I bent the lob wedges flatter to facilitate a more shallow swing on the short shots. All of the wedges played beautifully right out of the box; although the 60* is the most versatile, I really like the feel of the 55* (mostly full shots) and the 64* (pretty much pitches to downslopes or really tight pins). CBs look and feel great; the PX shafts are terrific. The 5* loft progression is a very workable solution to the "I've got too many irons and wedges" dilemma created by the modern set makeup. You can find a picture of the set in my image gallery folder. Jeff

Â I have the sick feeling that you will like them meaning I must think about retooling my bag AGAIN..... :D No problem man, I just snagged to a couple 900 RTG wedges today from a good buddy, so I'm gonna be having a wedge demo day soon...lol I'll keep ya posted :) Robbie
March 31, 200420 yr comment_32015 I got a 47* PW with the Brushed Raw finish... Weh I get the "scratch" I'll be replacing my vokey's.
March 31, 200420 yr Author comment_32016 I got a 47* PW with the Brushed Raw finish... Weh I get the "scratch" I'll be replacing my vokey's. Shouldnt you be replacing the Vokey's with Scratch when you get an itch?

March 31, 200420 yr comment_32066 I play scratch wedges right now, 47, 53, 58 round shape in nickel/black fill. What i really have an itch for now is the scratch proto wedges, I had a few I really should have not sold because now i think that they will be worth a good coin when world hears about scratch. What we all should keep in mind is that a 100% Handmade wedge is extremely rare and very expensive, on the average in Japan MOZ Ishihara ( same forged heads as scratch ) sells the custom ground soft forged wedges for 500+. No two heads will look exactly the same and that is what makes these wedges an individual style thing as well as a common sense approach to custom club work. They are made in the U.S.A but forged in the heart of Japan. Get Custom, Get Scratch.
April 1, 200420 yr comment_32081 ever since i found this site i keep finding stuff i need...all that therapy..all those cups of coffee in smoke filled rooms...now i got an itch I need to scratch...crap....i've just about rationalized my self into a couple of new wedges...if only they didn't look so nice and you guys wouldn't rave so much... :D
April 1, 200420 yr comment_32185 I have a couple of Antique finish, Silver paint fill wedges with customing stamping on the way (should be here tomorrow), Gap/Sand Wedge, 52* Loft, 8* bounce, rolled leading edge, rounded toe, narrow sole and Sand/Lob Wedge, 58* Loft, 6* bounce, rolled leading edge, wide sole, moderate trailing edge and heel relief and rounded toe, if these are as good as I think they're gonna be, I may order a couple more in different lofts and finish, I like the look of the Satin Scratches in 54* and 60*.
April 1, 200420 yr comment_32233 Still waiting for mine. Ari hasn't received the shafts yet (FCM stepped). Â Ordered 54* + 58*, antique finish with silver paint fill. Ari can tell you more about the grinds then I can. Â haribo Do they still make the FCM stepped shafts? If yes were can you get them? Thanks and sorry for the hijacking
April 2, 200420 yr comment_32378 count me in for 2 as well. best wedges for me period. finish grind and feel are better than anything i have played * read Vokeys, 588s, 900s, RACs, Callys, Nikes MacGregors etc! :-P *

Ari can tell you more about the grinds then I can. Â haribo Do they still make the FCM stepped shafts? If yes were can you get them? Thanks and sorry for the hijacking Yes, you can still get them on special order. Problem with Scratch is they need taper tipped one's. Apparently these are only available from the Royal Precision Tour Department as Ari told me. Luckily he has access. To both our surprise we learned the reason for that is it's a much liked choice for wedges by the Pro's. I always new it's a great shaft for wedges, particular since I play Rifle in my irons. Just thought I'm the only one who thinks like that .... surprise, surprise :D haribo
