This is Episode 9 of 14 about the classic, world-beater wedges made by Wilson Golf between 1956 and 1975. Wilson dominated the professional tours for many decades, with its clubs being used in 62 Major Championship victories. Its wedges during that 20-year period are still coveted, and available in online auctions. The most famous and coveted sand wedge ever is among those models. But little information is published about these wedges. Their stampings do not indicate loft or bounce. There is no widely available reference that will indicate even the year in which the clubs were made, and the online ads are often incorrect about that. Four wedges were available in each model cycle: Pitching, Dual, Triple-Duty, and Sand. The 1958dynapoweredwedgeguy will provide hard data that he has assembled about the loft, swing weight, bounce, rarity, and estimated value of the wedges made during this 20-year period. He also will give tips about how to acquire these wedges via online auctions and how to refurbish these wedges for in-the-bag use. He argues that every serious golfer should carry two wedges, both heavy with swing weights in the Es: a low-bounce sand wedge, and a high-bounce sand wedge. He has played golf seriously for over 50 years, using Wilson forged irons during most of that period — and he owns over 50 Wilson forged wedges made during this 20-year period. You are invited to invest some time in these fourteen episodes, which together will take you about as long to watch as it would to play nine holes of golf. (c) 2020, Thomas D.
