Cobra

What it does: This wedge maintains its groove philosophy of having narrow, deep grooves for the 48 to 54-degree wedges and grooves that stretch across the entire face on the higher lofts. What’s new, however, is a face-mill blast that is applied after the chrome finish has been added to the head. Doing this helps mitigate the loss of spin in wet conditions. For those with the company’s One Length irons, there are wedges to match.

Why we like it: Wedge aficionados might recall the Phil Rodgers heelward notch grinds in the high-lofted wedges named for him. Cobra has brought them back. When opening the blade on the 58 and 60-degree models, contact will be in the heel area, and the notch allows the heel to glide through the grass with greater ease.

SPECS 13 options (48-60 degrees); 3 sole grinds; 2 finishes
