    Default Opinion of black wedges

    I am considering buying new wedges and notice that the Vokey SM7s are available in black finish. Has anyone had experience with black wedges wearing a lot?

    Happy to go black with the irons but never with wedges. They look like crap in no time with the toll from bunkers and practice time.

    I have ten year old Callaway X-Forged in raw that were even second hand when I got them. I have probably played 100 rounds with them. They still look great. As do my Macgregor Pro-CMs in black. Before that I had Srixon WG-504 wedges and they were also fine. Shiny chrome wedges are not for me, even though I have a set at the moment.

    Default Opinion of black wedges

    This is my sand wedge, probably 5-6 months old. Not sure where it sits on the spectrum of wear but I’m pretty impressed with how it looks after that time.

    I play the black SM6 wedges and they're fine. Have used them plenty and can't even really tell any difference. Also really good for the glare factor too, so another reason to get them.

    I wish that I had enough money for new wedges.

    Yeah but it spent a lot of time up in a tree
    Hey, let's pop some Viagras and issue tickets with raging, mega-huge boners.
