Classic bladed wedge head shape, soft-cast with a dark satin gunmetal finish that will wear and rust over time. Made from soft-feeling steel with a satin finish that has more of a matt effect in the face and top edge tobanish glare. U grooves should increase spin and control. Hitting surface will become more abrasive as head rusts.

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.
