I don't know much about most things...including wedges - BUT, I saw that Chikara was mentioned in here so I thought I'd add my $0.02. I was lucky enough to meet and golf with the 'owner' a couple years ago in Hawaii. On one of the days, I took out a demo chikara to try out......I was absolutely amazed. I couldn't hit a bad shot ...well that isn't completely correct, I could still aim wrong, or have the wrong yardage, etc...but I couldn't screw up with the wedge. I even tried to hit some fat shots and it just slid over the ground and made perfect contact. Maybe I was just lucky that day but it certainly made a pretty big impression on me...the only problem was that my game just didn't justify spending $300 for a wedge.
