ZODIA KM Tour "US SPEC" Wedge Series: Special "US Spec" Tour grind wedges, hand ground by Chiba-san of Japan, is now being offered in the US market.

News Release- Just arrived into the US market is the new "US Spec" Zodia Wedge Series. The famous raw, gritty, rough black finish that has become the ZODIA trademark, coupled with the unique hand tour grind by Chiba-san, Japan's top wedge artisan, makes each wedge a one of a kind masterpiece. Please note that the finish will turn rusty black, but will maintain its raw, distinct look.

All I can say is........It is the Sweetest wedge I have ever played. They are a little pricey, but I have justified the price many times with the versitility of this wedge. It has a feel like no other.............I mean NO OTHER !! If you ever get the chance to get your hands on one....Do yourself and your game a favor and do so.

Mine has a NS PRO shaft and a Iomic Black grip.

It was installed by Chip Usher here is Savannah.

I don't know of a website but many people sell these awesome wedges. Try Chip Usher at Usher Golf. He is a great guy and sells them. I have a 52, 56 and 59 and chip in and hole out so much my playing partners try to steal them from me. They spin the ball like nothing I have ever had. Mine are 3 yrs old so don't spin like they used to, so I should buy more!

Zodia only got Japaness website I think.

I've owned all 3 KM US Tours at one point. They are excellent wedges -- as long as you aren't a digger or driver -- they do dig in softer conditions -- in my experience.

They are beautiful. The 59 is very easy with which to hit any shot around the greens. They keep their raw finish wonderfully. I kept mine dry and they did not rust. Wonderful spinners. I'd say they work better in firmish conditions. In the wet, use all of the bounce they have by playing the club true to loft by not forward pressing much at all -- you don't want that leading edge to dig. Of course, you can bend that 59 into a 60, giving you more of a safety valve.

Caveat is they must fit your swing. If they do, you'll fall in love.

just got a set lightly used and everyone is right,these are excellent wedges.i have Chikaras already and was hoping to find something better.can't tell if i have or not.Chikara spins better but i feel like the Zodias are more versatile.didn't have any trouble with digging.actually thought the Chikaras are more subject to dig.i jhave only played twice with these so i will report back if anything changes.

Spin is second to none. If you can center it, you'll not find a better wedge.

I can't believe there is a recent post about these. I have 3 still in the bag! I wish I could buy new ones.

They still show up on the BST every now and then.

I'm on the hunt for 52/60 after being reminded of them last week while playing with Hip. Still think they're the best set of wedges I've ever owned.

I have 3 sets of wedges, mizuno blk ni mp r's, cleveland TA Chrome 588's and Zodia's.
The Zodias are crisp feeling, very sharp grooves that need breaking in, kind of.
Nice shape, thin bounce & very workable. Truly unique looking wedges, definite eye catchers.
Not as soft feeling as the mizunos, but better/more spin. The 588 heads feel light compared to both of the other sets. All three have similiar head shapes. I switch them up just to keep on my toes. It's a nice problem to have, too many wedge sets...

mine are 52* and 56* in raw black...tremendous wedges.
