Technology/Overview-
PureSpin wedge is the only golf club to use diamonds in the club face. That said, their Diamond Face Scoring Wedge that has seen a marked improvement in both durability and spin making over most conventional wedges.
Durability may not be thought of as a wedge attribute, it is an important one. This may come as a surprise to some, but conventional wedges begin to loose their spin making ability after just 50 shots, the equivalent of only 5 rounds of
golf! This premise was confirmed by independent testing using robotics that hit wedge shots at a specific launch angle and speed. The results were quite astonishing. Conventional wedges such as Cleveland, Odyssey and Taylormade, begin to loose their spin rate between 50 and 100 shots. PureSpin on the other hand was able to maintain spin rate not only after 100 shots but 1,000 shots. PureSpin was able to hold the green after the durability test, averaging 2’4″ from the pin, four times better than their counterparts. This test scientifically proved that the diamond face does provide a durability unrivaled by conventional wedges and therefore improves the spin rate for the life of the wedge.
The reason for the improved durability is the diamond crystal technology. Industrial diamonds are crushed into fine crystal granules and mixed with a proprietary solution to form a compound. The material is then bonded permanently to the face of the PureSpin wedge using a special nickel electroplate process. This makes for an extremely hard club face surface.
Pros/Positives-
The Diamond face technology is truly a “cut above” (I had to throw that one in there) the rest. The hardness and durability of these wedges truly stand the test of time and seem to improve spin rates.
Cons/Negatives-
The only negative that seems to be the extreme hardness of the club face causes more scuffs and cut marks in balls.
Actual Player Feedback-
“To shoot low scores, you’ve got to take dead aim and attack the pin, especially from 120 yards or closer”
“Great Wedges. Yes, they may mark the cover, but you get backspin after landing!”
“These wedges make chipping a dream. Great Wedges at a Great Price.”
Overall Rating-
Nevertheless, PureSpin is gaining in popularity as a wedge of choice and has waged war with the big boys on the block. It is a well known fact the majority of golf shots in a round of golf come within the 100 yard red marker. Why not improve your ability to hold the green and scoring chances with a PureSpin wedge – diamonds may have just become a golfers best friend.
