Comments about Hireko I128:Professional Open Series 690 Wedge - Clubhead:

I bought the 68° head it is really easy to hit super high flop shots. I was hitting full shots maybe 40-50 yards. Fun to mess around with. I would definitely buy the other lofts, i was very pleased with the quality of this head.

Comments about Hireko I128:Professional Open Series 690 Wedge - Clubhead:

I bought this wedge in both the 64* and 68*. I needed something for the inbetween shots I couldn't hit well with my 60*. These wedges were perfect. I found them very easy to hit fairly accurately. The first time on the course the 68* saved me strokes because I could accurately hit those inbetween shots. The 64* also helped me get out of the sand better than my Sw and I was chipping a lot better than with my 60*. I would have given it a 5 star but I like the looks of a sharp edge better than these rounded ones (very minor detail).

Comments about Hireko I128:Professional Open Series 690 Wedge - Clubhead:

I wanted a high lofted (low bounce) wedge for a county course that I play often that has elevated greens that are hard to hold. I purchased the 64 and 68 degree heads and built them on Apollo standard steepless shafts. These are very good clubs for the money. The 64 is perfect for what I need. Good feel and great spin. This club REALLY bites into the ball. I will need to hit the range with the 68 before putting that baby into play. It's a pancake! Although these heads are value offerings they are well worth a try.

Plays like Cleveland and Titleist

Comments about Hireko I128:Professional Open Series 690 Wedge - Clubhead:

I bought these wedges because they resembled the titleist Vokey wedge. I was more than pleased with their performance. I paired them up with TT lite shafts. They felt good and performed as well as any wedge I had played previously. I was so impressed I had to try the 64 and 68 degree wedges. The 64 and 68 take the guess work out of playing a good flop shot. I suggest that anyone give these a try. Fot the price, they cant be beat.

I purchased the 56 and 60 to replace old Dynacraft and Callaway wedges. It looks and feels just like the Cleveland wedges that my co-golfers are using

Comments about Hireko I128:Professional Open Series 690 Wedge - Clubhead:

Had used nearly every wedges , Major OEM, SMT,Nak, Fourteen.
The reason to try this one is curious how 6.90 perform.The grind are very good, real forgiving the grooves are not well made, BUT, more than adequate spin. Ball pops up very well. Great on my turf which is medium.

Feel is soft muted. normally what soft stainless feel like.

Except for slight cosmetic imperfections, Its a good design. Highly bendable.

Bought 52 56 60 64 . Great progression in the grind. Thin sole/ higher bounce on the low loft and thick sole low bounce on the high loft. Making it very easy to use.

The shape is a little small, I think its for slightly better player.
