I have Project X Rifle 6.0 shafts in my irons and was wondering if I should order the stiff flex in the wedges as well. I know Eidolon suggests you should but I'm not sure I'd like the feel around the green as much. Has anyone else with stiff iron shafts ordered an Eidolon wedge? If so, which flex did you go with?


Fredsco - I have the project X 6.5 on my titleists and i went with Eidolon's stepless "firm" flex. It matches very well for me and has a very nice ball flight.

Cheers Bird, I think I'd definitely lean towards the chrome finish and the 50*, 54*, 58* combination. 51,55,59 sounds a bit weird anyway Wink

Is it better to bend the wedges 2* strong or 1* weaker? or does it not make too much of a difference? (probably a question for the wedge guy, lol)

Indeed that would normally be a better question for terry, but they recommended I go 2* weaker rather than 2* stronger. i.e. 48-50 rather than 52-50. If you were going with the 51* though you can go from 52-51.

So it has occurred to me that i haven't posted my review on the Eidolon wedges. Holy crap. That is all.

No it's not haha. By far these are the best wedges i've played yet. Thats' not blowing smoke up anyone's a$$ at all. They are. I've swung vokeys and swung clevelands and more recently my srixons. First, i'm absolutely devastating pins with these things. They are DEADLY accurate. Second, all the rumors about the spin are true. The face is like velcro for golfballs. They compress, stick and come off with spin to stop it on greens running 15.

I like the way they look. i like the way they set up. i like the way they swing. They're not as heavy as other wedges though- at least they dont 'feel that way. I don't mind it or notice it when hitting through sand or rough. It also helps me hit more shots with them and flight the ball down if i need.

They're workable too. I can work these things like a 6 iron. Never been able to do that with a wedge before. Overall outstanding clubs. Worth every last dime.

I'm very close to getting my Eidolon wedges now. They're currently with a club fitter about 30 mins drive away from me Very Happy Just need putting together.

I'm quite pleased that the process of getting these wedges has led me to a couple of "proper" club builders/fitters not too far away from me. So I'm dropping by tomorrow to discuss some plans for me and my equipment. As well as sorting out my wedges!

Good times!
