 Welcome back to the Average Golfers Channel. We're down here at Wall Street Golf Club. The sun is shining, it's a tad breezy, but I'm going to put to the test a real interesting one for me on a personal level. And I hope you enjoy it too. I have got a brand new MG3, that's a Milgrine 3 tailor made wedge. 50-60 degrees, the wrapper is coming off now as you can see. First time we have tried this thing. And I want to find out this. What is the difference between a brand new wedge, grws never been touched before, and I've got the identical model of the previous year. It's a little bit dirty to say the least. It's the raw version, so it's rusted up a little bit, changed its colouring. I can see plenty of grass and mud in the grws, so I'm not great at cleaning my clubs, and that's the way it's going to stay. Because the test is going to be brand new wedge, never been used grws versus old used, grass filled grws. What happens in terms of spin, and what I'll do is I'll try it out in three different locations, and I'll record data with Trackman, and let's see what actually happens in terms of performance differences between these two clubs. First of all, some close-ups of this wedge I'm referring to, and the dirt and muck in the grws, and like I said, it's a year or so old. I want your opinions first of all. Well, two things. Are you cleaning these grws after every shop, which effectively should be to get ultimate performance? Are you, like me, a little bit lazy, and perhaps don't do that as often as you should? More importantly in that comment section down below, what are you expecting to see in terms of differences? Mainly spin rates got to be the difference, surely, between these two clubs. That's what I want to know. Old and dirty versus new comments down below. What are you expecting to see in this video in terms of data from Trackman? Right, so for me, spin with wedges is a real interesting thing, because I think we pay a lot of attention to it, and not always sure how critical it is at our level. And I'll explain as we go through the video, but the first thing we're going to look at is I'm 86 yards out from the flag. We're playing into this green, and it's three shots with the brand new wedges. This is the first time it'll ever been hit. We'll switch over to three with the used wedge, let's call it, and record Trackman data. But as you can see, we'll start off with the new wedge. Three balls in. You can see what they're doing on screen now. I haven't seen this footage. I've hit the shots already, but you're looking and seeing how they've reacted on the greens. We'll then switch over to the older wedge, and these are the shots that you're looking at now, which are the spin and the way the ball is reacting on the green. You've also seen the spin number and the data that we recorded on Trackman for each of those shots. I've not really seen any of that, or certainly not seen how they've reacted on the greens, and I've glanced back and toward the iPad for the numbers in terms of Trackman. What I've seen from these full wedges, there was a lot of similarities. There was very much nothing to split them. The main thing that would have split them was the quality of strike from me. So, at this stage, what I'm seeing is virtually no difference between the two wedges in terms of the spin. All I am seeing is variables in terms of the quality of my strike. Interesting one next is the sort of, well, what are we? 30 yards short of the flag. We've got plenty of green to work with, effectively a chip and run. Maybe not a 50, 60 degree wedge on this shot, but anyway, for the purposes of the exercise, that's what we're going to look at. The first question is on this, what is it you want from the wedge? Do you want spin, or do you want the club or the ball, rather, to actually release? And that very much depends on the way you're going to play the shot. But like I said, let's interpret this as a chip and run. And again, you'll see me. First three shots are played with the brand new wedge. It's only ever at three shots at this stage. What I'm seeing, and hopefully what's being relayed to you on the camera, is it's very much releasing as expected. I don't know, there's a great deal of spin being impacted with that sort of swing that we're putting on it. Then we switch over to the old wedge and I am seeing virtually exactly the same. So the ball is pitching in, it's releasing and rolling out. The spin numbers again that you're seeing are very, very low indeed. And then exactly what you'd expect is very difficult to generate spin from that chip and run type of shot and from what is just a couple of yards of swing as well. So, again, in terms of old versus new, is there any difference? Absolutely zero at this stage. Right, so you've pitched up in what is our third and final location and a different type of shot again. So for me, first thing to notice is we're coming out of the rough. Only the first cut of rough, so there's not a lot going on there, but first cut of rough. We've then got a bunker to the left. We'd ideally be looking to go straight over that. This is the flop shot and we're looking to get this ball high. We want it to pitch and we want it to stop fairly quickly. So the question is first of all, let's see the three shots whilst I'm talking and waffling on. Three shots as we've started with the new one. They're pretty much decent connection. The club itself was great to be able to open up and throw that sort of club under it. Got plenty of height with it and as you can see, they've pitched and stopped relatively quickly. But once again, is that down to spin or is that down to descent angle? Don't forget to type a shot you're playing that is also having an impact on the way in which this ball is coming down and how soft it's landing. You can see from the spin numbers again, nothing major generated in terms of spin. Go through to the old wedge and don't forget, I just want to reiterate the point about the wedge grooves. I'm just looking down on them now. They're full of grass, they're full of mud and we've got this club slipping under them. They're pitching a ball fairly high. It's coming down relatively soft and it's stopping fairly quickly. And it's doing exactly the same as what we've seen with the MG3. And again, from a numbers perspective, this is not a shot that generates a great deal of spin. So the only shot that we've seen spin generated really was from the full wedge. And the other three, it had no impact on the result whatsoever. Right, so I just want to go back to the first shot because we did a little bit of a pan on the greens of where those pitch marks were relative to the balls where they finished. And yet again, as you can see, there is virtually no difference between where that ball landed and where they stopped with either wedge. The point to mention, yes, we're playing on a Lynx golf course here at Walsy Golf Club, but we are playing on mid-October so the greens are softer than they would be in the height of summer. However, everything is relative and those distances would be pretty much the same no matter how firm or soft the greens were. But my overall summary would be this. I think the tailor-made no-grind wedges are absolutely superb. They really are good and what they've done with the MG3 is just refined it and looks a little bit. I think it looks really good, but that's not what we're here to do. We're here to measure a performance difference between the two. They're both raw finished wedges and obviously one as aged as it should do. It's sort of changed. Its collage rusted up a little bit. I actually found that to be the biggest. The more interesting fact throughout the whole review was how much better the MG2 felt in all the shots that I've played to be quite honest with you. Really sort of felt that little bit softer. Again, it could be all in my head what I'm thinking, but I certainly felt that little bit better off the clubface. That was the most determining factor of why I'd perhaps choose one over the other. But in terms of performance, yet again, and I've done these wedge reviews all being new, I've done them in wet conditions. I see very little differences in there that suggest to me that there's average golfers when you've got so many variables in your strike pattern. That's the biggest factor that impacts on your performance and not necessarily whether it's a 1,000 or 2,000 revs of spin difference when you're hitting one of these wedges. Anyway, that's my thought process on it. We've tried to back this one up like I said with a little bit of trackman data. It's not just a pinion led, we've got some data to have a look at as well. You spend some time looking through their numbers to see if you can find something that I haven't had a look because I haven't spent lots of time looking at this. I've gone from my immediate response from what I've seen out here on the course and a quick glance at that data. Put your comments down below, tell me whether I've got this right or whether I've got this completely wrong and either way, I'm not bothered. I love to hear your feedback. Thank you for watching. Hit that thumbs up button and I'll see you all very soon. We're going to carry on into some wars on this board and stay at Wallisley Golf Club.
