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.

I was skeptical of these at first, given the somewhat higher bounce angles. Figured, "why not?" and tried them (52, 56, 60*) anyway. Pleasantly surprised. Put Apollo Std. Stepless shafts and white Tacki-Mac Itomic grips on, and the feel is just "it". I was gaming an SV (52*), Cally Forged+ (56*) and CG12 (60*), and the XB's are just as good as these. When hit on the sweet spot, I can't tell the difference between forged and cast- not with any of the wedges mentioned above.
I might try the Satin finish next time, or maybe the Black.
