Any Wilson SW...

From the Gene Sarazen models, S20s, R90s, with "Dot Punch" faces, to the first W/S Dynapowers, both black and red button "Fluid Feel" models from '57-75, and the "Arnold Palmer" Wilson SW.

Even the Wilson R61 "Sandy Andy", and Walter Hagen Haig Ultra "Sand Iron" have their followings.

The '58 W/S Dynapower is the shape by which modern forged wedges are compared with...

The '71 Dynapower (buttonback) SW is the only club in the whole series which doesn't have "Dynapower" stamped on it.

The PING Eye 2 SW made it's impact with the Majors won by Tway, Calcavecchia and Azinger.
Of course, Phil Mickelson revived that controversy a short time ago.

Attaching his name to those Cobra "Trusty Rusty" SWs was the best thing that happened to Phil Rodgers.

And Hoganistas will swear by the "Sure Out" "Fifty three" and those KGrinds.




After spending an afternoon with Azinger right before he was named captain of the Ryder Cup team a couple of years ago, I put a ping
Eye 2 l wedge in my bag. He still uses one , or a disguised version. He told me that club won the tournament ( playoff with Norman)

Did Larry Mize make his shot at the '87 Masters Playoff with a MacGregor Muirfield SW, or a PowerBilt SW?

There was a se of cobra Norman forged wedges that were awesome. Also, Tad Moore forged wedges with "u" grooves, 53, 57, 61 combo was awesome! Wish i still had that 61.

Also there is none of that pesky chrome plating to wear oof and dsifigure. Stainless steel, very soft, was commonplace then and polishes up to a mirror finish.

There is a Golfcraft Joe Kirkwood sandwedge in there as well which some may like to see.
