The four-way cambered sole and moderate bounce angles allow for maximum playability from a variety of situations you may encounter on the course. The versatility of the D-grind sole allows for the face to be opened when needed and is good from any lie to produce creative face angle positions for shots like “bump and run” and “the flop” around the green.
Perhaps the greatest attribute is that no other set of wedges are as complete and versatile as the Acer XB wedges. There are as many as 8 different lofts to choose from providing you with total short-game management. Many golfers are content with the standard 52, 56 and 60 degree set up, which we have you covered. We also have the harder, if not impossible to find higher lofted wedges like the 64 and the 68 degree (satin finish only) for the high little delicate shots when you need to have the ball land softly.
With so many pitching wedges being manufactured with 46º of loft, for many golfers it makes more sense to carry 50, 54 and 58 degree lofts instead. This way they have the nice separation in distance without gaps from their game-improvement irons and still cover the majority of shots they will encounter on the course.
The appearance is equally as superb as its performance. The Acer XB Wedges are precision cast in four different finishes: lustrous pearl chrome, an elegant non-glare matte black, brilliant high polish and maintenance-free satin.

Also have a Cleveland wedge with 52 degrees of loft and I can't tell the two apart.

I have built every loft of these wedges for my high school golf team members. They look great and feel as good as any name brand out there. With everyone's tight budget these days you just can't pass up building such a high quality club for a fraction of the price of retail. The satin finish is nice on the eyes. The head is a little smaller, but that is forcing my golfers to be more consistent in their swings. I paired all wedges with the Apollo standard stepped shaft and Karma velvet grips. All were swing-weighted to spec of name brand wedges.

Used this for the first time this weekend had read reviews on the various forums and was hesitant to try as I prefer forged wedges. WOW is the first thing that comes to mind. I love the rounded leading edge it makes me feel like I can hit it from any lie including the lovely hard pan that graces the southern golf courses. I had more up and downs in 1 round than I have had for the past year. The feel is a little clicky but with the use of a softer compression ball feels similar to a forged wedge. Spin with a value ball was good will try with a premium ball next round. Paired the 58* wedge with Apollo Red Steel and Avon Chamois best money I have ever spent on my game in the last 5 years.

Bought the 50 54 & 58 and paired them with Apollo stepless Stiff. I am very happy about everything with these so far. Love the feel matched with the stepless shaft. I have only hit these off of a mat at an indoor "golfdome" driving range, but you can clearly see the check these have when landing. These lofts are a perfect match to my iron lofts. I am very happy with them. For the price you simply can't beat it.

A little less spin than I was hoping for, but it was [$], so... But if you play the ball to let it roll out, you can be very accurate. It plays great on the edges of greens, rolls pure for bump and run shots.

Bought the 54 and 58 to go with tmy Acer XD Pro irons with apollo stepless steel shafts. Never had wedges and irons with matched shafts. In any case they are playable but have a very rounded leading edge which takes a little getting used to . Feel fine though and performance is as expected.

All in all a pretty good wedge. I weighed and checked the loft/lie and all were spot on to listed specs. I bent mine to 61* and added a 10g tip weight. The wedge feels and looks really good. It gets the ball up in a hurry and lands soft. The only negative that I've seen is that there is not much spin, and I use a high spin tour ball, so the ball runs out even when landing soft. With a little more practice this wedge will be a deadly weapon.

Paired a 54 & 58 with Apollo Spectre Lite Stiff shaft and they are money. I loved my CG14's and TW Forged wedges the most out of all the wedges I have ever used but they are both super expensive compared to these wedges. I am going to be ordering a 50 soon and get my matching GW that I am now playing out of the bag and replace it with the 50 to give me more options around the green. With a cheap hard cover golf ball they will work ok but with a better ball they will work much better. I can get them to stop on a dime with a good full swing. The heads are slightly smaller than I expected and I was concerend with this at first but a few swings later I was in love. If you enjoy using your wedges for full shots and short shots around the green these are great. I never used to use my wedges for full shots because I could never get great distance with them but these puppies have good distance and great stopping power when needed.....Try them!

May not be for someone not used to a smaller wedge. Playing characteristics great from all lies. Great feel and feedback on your shots.

this club looks funny to me at address but that is most likely due to me not using a 50 degree wedge before. Right after I finished the club I hit it once and fell in love. I will probably be replacing my 58 and 54 degree wedges with these.

Purchased all 6 lofts for testing on the course by customers and myself. They look good, fly high, fly low and straight. Great out of bunkers and off tight lies. It is easy to manipulate your club head as the lie changes on the course. Just remember that the spin is greatly reduced and unless you are taking a full swing expect release after the ball drops.

I got interested in these because I had such a yardage gap between my 46 PW and 52 Gap. I decided to go with the 50, 54, 58 combination to go along with my 46 wedge. I have played 27 holes with them so far (with no range time) and I love them already. Used to hit 56 sand 100 yards but last couple of years I think it became defective, only 85 yards..hmmmm. The 54 is automatic 100 yards now and the 50 is 120 yds. Not sure about the 58 yet only hit it once and fat. Why would anyone not go with this combo when most PW are 46 I don't know but I am very happy so far. Matched with TTLite shafts trimmed S. Awsome!!
