xFT TP, 54 and 60
I put the xFT TP Wedge straight in the bag when it came out because I felt that they'd designed a really nice looking club. But the real advantage is the fact that you can remove the face and put in some new grooves quite regularly. To be honest, I didn't think that sort of thing was possible. A wedge with bolts in the back sounded clunky to me, but this is a remarkable invention. The club isn't clunky at all, it has a good solid feel and by renewing the face insert, I know that a wedge I like the look of will stay in the bag for much lunger. The design is very precise too and the spare faces sit beautifully flush once you've attached them.


My Own Sole Grind
The machine work on the back of the club is something personal to me and I do it in workshop at home. I grind away some of the metal on the back half of the heel area. Now you don't see this when you look down at the club from above, it's only when you open the face. Taking away that heel gives the impression that the face of the club has been puches forward slightly which is a look I like.

Putter: Yes!
