It’s a great start to 2016 for Wilson Staff. We’ve already shown you new C200 irons, but this week also marks the debut for Wilson’s new wedge series (and a new DUO ball).
We’ll cover the ball very soon, but first, the wedges.
FG Tour PMP
Okay, let’s get any the “Pimp My Wedge” jokes out of our systems.
Are we settled? Good.
In this case, PMP stands for Precision Milled Performance, which Wilson says will maximize spin on full and partial shots. Basically, you have big deep grooves for full shots and 11 laser etched smaller grooves, called Micro Spin Lines, for spin on partial shots.
The big change for Wilson is the addition of a third sole grind. Their most recent wedges, the FG Tour TC line, offered 2 soles- the wider-soled Traditional Grind for medium to steeper swings, and the thinner-soled Tour Grind for shallower swings.
The new line adds a Wide Sole grind to the mix. With all of the different soles, bounces and lofts (each can be bent +/1 3 degrees, which effectively changes bounce), the PMP line has 97 different possible combinations.
They’ll be available in either Tour Frosted or Gun Blue PVD, and can be customized with stampings and paint fill through Wilson’s Custom Department.
The PMP wedges are already in the bags of Troy Merritt, Ricky Barnes and Brendan Steele. Kevin Streelman and Padraig Harrington are expected to start gaming them soon.
Wilson is offering the KBS HI-REV 2.0 shaft with the Lamkin Performance Plus 3Gen grip as stock.
MSRP for the FG Tour PMP Gun Blue models is $119.99, the Tour Frosted model is $99.99. They’ll be in stores January 15th, but can be ordered now on Wilson’s website.
