Traditional Tour Wedge Series Review:

Feel
 
The Tour Wedges Series have a swingweight of D4 and are all around solid feeling wedge. The copper/zinc alloy forging produces a soft feel at impact. The soft head produced a nice click sound on well-struck shots.
Looks
 
The look is traditional as its company namesake implies. The light copper color is soft on the eyes and the fit and finish are excellent and of high quality. The stampings are simple and clean with no paint fill producing an elegant and understated look. The mill marks can be seen on the face. Overall, the Tour Wedge Series exhibit a very clean and classy look at address.
Performance
 
The Tour Wedge Series are solid performers. We were pleased with the results from this set of forged wedges. The sand wedge produced consistent results from the sand and the lob wedge worked very well from around the green. The wedges are not very forgiving but as much as most of the popular wedges. The CNC milled faces produced ample amounts of spin without tearing up softer cover golf balls. The soft feel of the copper/zinc heads took some of the edge off even the hardest golf balls.
Summary

The Tour Wedge Series from Traditional Golf are an excellent addition to their fine line of custom forged irons and driver. The wedges can be customized for loft, lie, and bounce. This option makes the Tour Wedge Series unique in the market. Traditional Golf offers this level of customization with all their products. While these wedges will especially appeal to lower handicap golfers, golfers of all abilities with an appreciation for high quality equipment that can be customized for their needs will appreciate the wedges. The Tour Wedge Series receive high marks for feel, spin, looks, and customization.
