[LoopySwing13]

First of all, thank you so much for doing this!

1) I would love to be able to try the 52-C and the 58-C both in black pearl with Modus 115 if possible.

2) my favorite feature is the both the smoke black finish and the versatile grinds you have added. I also like that the shape has gone back closer to the look of the original high helix wedges. I loved those in the bronze finish.

3) I currently play TM Hi Toe wedges and was but checking these out since I liked the H1 wedges so much. I am due for new wedges soon.

4) would love to provide reviews, pictures and comments on these!

[Tarheelnation3]

I have been eye balling these wedges on IG for a while now! Would LOVE to get a chance to put them up against a couple of my current sets and put them through their paces. To answer a couple of the questions posed, please see below:

The 2 wedges you'd like to test (complete with finish, grind, bounce, shaft, etc.)? Would really dig testing the 54* C Grind with 10* bounce bent to a 55* and the 60* RJ Grind with 10* Bounce bent to 61* both in Black Smoke finish (or even raw!). Finish these bad boys off with the Nippon modus3 115 Wedge Shaft at +1/2" and the standard grip + 2 wraps. What is your favorite feature of the HLX 3.0 Forged wedges? Hands down, other than the look I am intrigued by the change to soft carbon steel of these wedges. I'm definitely a "feel" player when it comes to my short game, and any advantage one can gain in that area is well worth the change in my opinion.Current wedges? My current wedges include a set of Callaway Jaws and a set of Titleist SM7s.Do you agree to participate in an ongoing testing thread, posting reviews and high quality photos? Would love to participate fully in this endeavor. I am more than happy to take numerous photos and provide feedback on these wedges both from the range as well as on the course. I play several different clubs out in Southern California with plenty of playing time with no down time given our weather (and the fact I am now working from home due to the current state of the economy). Happy to compare to numerous wedges I have tried, as well as currently have in my bag. I'm beyond excited to get a chance at a set of Bettinardi wedges that I have been looking at for a while now.Big shout out to both Bettinardi and GolfWRX for such a great experience and opportunity. Hoping to be one of the lucky ones. Thanks and good luck to everyone!
