Kenmochi black forged wedges

SteveH115 · September 1, 2014

I am looking at dipping a toe in the JDM market and have seen the Kenmochi black forged wedge which I am interested in. Does anyone have any experience with these? I can be a little bit steep with the wedge, meaning I can dig a bit and the courses I play in Australia vary greatly from wet to very solid, so I need a wedge that can cope with this. I currently play a Mizuno 54 degree MP T10 and this is what I am looking at replacing. Probably looking for a wedge with around 10 degrees of bounce and something that can be opened up easily.

Any opinions on the Kenmochi or other wedges would be appreciated.

Miura K grind. I've played it everywhere from Royal St George's to the humid fairways of SE Asia and it flat out performs in any lie.

same as me down there.

dont go anymore than 12 * the club just pops off the turf and then you thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin the bloody thing !

JDM wedges i plum for the 2013 tourstage x-forged now as a general rule they are pear shaped and can do anything with them. endo forged, super grind, as versatile as anythign with amazing feel
yonex are very very good down there , very razor eqsue at address but with just tnough bounce not to scalpel the turf. and get some great spin .
yururi tour slighty longer blade but good for pcking the ball and awesome spin.

I play the (non conforming) Kenmochis in 56* and 60* with UST IHS-991 Protos. And I simply love them! By far my favourite wedges. And they are beauties! I take large divots... these heads are gorgeous. But quite a big part of it are also the shafts.

Curious to know how the spin is? I'm a high spin wedge player. The best I've ever used are Callaway Jaws with MD gooves. They are now non-conforming as well. They spin the ball a ton around the greens, but always looking for more spin.
