APPLY NOW: Bettinardi HLX 3.0 Forged Wedges! 5 Testers wanted!

This January, Bettinardi Golf has announced their third generation of wedges, the HLX 3.0. As the golf season rounds into form, they'd like your game to do the same. Five GolfWRX members will be selected to test two (2) brand new Bettinardi HLX 3.0 Wedge. Want to apply? Read on.

ABOUT HLX 3.0, THE THIRD GENERATION BETTINARDI WEDGESRobert J. Bettinardi has taken his wedge line to a higher level of performance with a total redesign of technology and appearance in his all-new HLX 3.0 wedge line. Forged with the player in mind from Soft Carbon Steel, Bettinardi added their 30-plus years in milling expertise to the grind on the sole for more consistency in production, allowing for superior playability and repeatability in your short game. Robert’s preferred RJ-Grind was engineered and added as a high-bounce option on 56°, 58°, and 60° lofts for increased flexibility around the greens- best for players with a steeper angle of attack. Sam Bettinardi worked to perfect the C-Grind, a player’s wedge perfect for a variety of shots, and made to score. All wedges feature Bettinardi’s patented and inimitable Honeycomb milling on the back flange, and High Helix Cut grooves that optimize spin and touch.
