Kirkland (Costco) Wedges!?

The meat grinder at Costco also functions as the lie/loft machine for custom work. “Excuse me meat employee, please give me your finest cut of animal and also bend my Kirkland wedge 1.25 degrees flat”.

Wait, I have to wait to drink my KSig vodka until AFTER the round?!?

I dont think this wedge set is aimed at people that even know what the loft of their PW is. This is probably aimed at weekend golfers who bought an iron set and want a wedge set. Most weekend golfers have no reason or use for a 60* LW in their bag, but they do it anyway. I would bet that 52/56/60 is what most weekend golfers (that play 3 wedges) are used to playing, so that is what KSig will make. Does it make sense from a gaping perspective? No. Does it make sense from a marketing perspective? Probably.

Their balls and their gloves (especially) are well worth the money. I'm not a plus HDCP, so I can't tell a huge difference from ball to ball, but the 3-piece performs just fine for me and I don't mind losing one.

I'll be giving the wedges a go. I'm in the market for a new 52 and 56 and my wedge play is mediocre, at best. If they've got crap shafts, no deal, but otherwise...

Wasn't aware of the past workings w/ Cobra. Could you share some of the details of that?

Only know what's on their website. They list Cobra as a client. The show a picture of of AMP Cell irons in their gallery and list the Golf Digest Hot List Gold King Cobra LTD driver under awards. It also appears they have golf club patents for drivers, putters, irons and fairway woods. They also work with a golf company called Indi Golf.

This. A good friend of mine had no idea what to get several years so just grabbed a Watson set. He crafted a pretty deft short game with them until they were unplayable from the wear.

SC Design is located in the heart of the Carlsbad business district where almost every golf company has an office. I'm sure they have worked with more than just Cobra. They've probably got a few employees that have worked at the big companies. They probably make an OK to decent wedge.

True. But you still have to look at it in your bag. Having a wedge like that in the bag makes a great case for iron covers.

@grm24 - my bad...I misread your first post. I thought you were saying Costco has worked w/ Cobra in the past. Interesting info on SCDC. Thanks.
