This is a classic looking wedge with a dull finish that won't reflect the glare from the sun. It's a big enough face to instil confidence in consistent striking but it shouldn't put off any good players after a compact look to work the ball in from all kinds of attacking areas. The carefully machined face and grooves are designed to help stop the ball quickly and the compact head and rounded sole should allow players to manipulate the flight of their ball from any lie.

In July 2023, Neil became just the 9th editor in Golf Monthly's 112-year history. Originally working with the best coaches in the UK to produce instruction content, he went on to become a feature writer interviewing many of the biggest names in the game including Tiger Woods, Seve Ballesteros, Rory McIlroy and Arnold Palmer.

A 5-handicap golfer, Neil is a club member who takes a keen interest in the health of the game at grassroots level. You’ll often now find him writing about club-related issues such as WHS, membership retention and how best to bridge the gap between the range and the course.
