Titleist 
Spin Milled Vokey wedge, £100

Key technology: The combination of finishes, lofts and bounce options mean there are 56 different Vokey models available. The sole of each wedge is hand ground, which helps make a variety of shots easier to play.

These are fantastic all-round performers, but really excel when it comes to the penetrating flight they produce on full shots. The smooth edge looks great, as does the quality finish.

Snake Eyes 
685BX wedge, £89

Key technology: The forged head gives a soft feel off the face, but is also extremely durable. A tour influenced soul grind means material is removed from the heel and toe of the club to give improved versatility.

Superb visuals are combined with a groove configuration that provided impressive levels of spin. Even in wet conditions the sole design helped prevent the dreaded fat from 50 yards and in.
