Square Strike Wedge -Pitching & Chipping Wedge for Men & Women -Legal for Tournament Play -Engineered by Hot List Winning Designer -Cut Strokes from Your Golf Game Fast

I find the square strike 45 degree wedge to be much more forgiving and consistent as a chipping wedge than my previous pitching wedge, and still serves as a fine pitching wedge from further out. As someone who took up golf later in life and is a fairly high handicapper, I'm looking to build a club set that is forgiving, yet affordable, especially for the short game. While no miracle club, I do find the square wedge 45 chips much easier and more consistently, especially on shorter swings, where my lighter club often got hung up. The club weight is very conducive to a putt-like, smooth and consistent swing. I'm definitely on target more often with this club. The bounce not only helps prevent the consequences of fat shots and getting hung up, but because I'm not so worried about fat shots, I'm also much less likely to skull the ball. Since I wasn't too disappointed with my current pitching wedge, I started with the square wedge 55 first which was a mistake. I should have started with the 45 and developed comfort with it before purchasing the 55. However, I have no regrets about either. The company and many reviews focus on this clubs as a chipper around the green and that is indeed where this club shines. However, I think it's important to note, it's a perfectly fine pitching wedge and is my go to club from 90 yards or so and in. (I don't hit this quite as far as my previous pitching wedge, but since this is mostly for less than full distance, that doesn't really matter.) I watched a number of video reviews done by very experienced golfers who gave some criticism to this club for it's lack of versatility. True, this isn't a club you are going to open way up and do ultra high lob shots with or work the ball with. However, that's not what it's designed for. It's designed to be forgiving and provide consistency to the game for amateur golfers and I feel it does that very, very well. As with any new club, it does take some getting used to. Obviously this club won't magically compensate for distance, slope, green speed, break etc. That unfortunately still requires a lot of practice. One way I do get more versatility out of this club for chipping is to have 3 places in my stance for the ball, which effectively gives the club three different lofts. (I only use the forward position, hitting out of the rough on very short shots, so the angle of the bounce along the ground isn't an issue) What I also like is that Square Strike now makes some irons that are of similar design. While I don't think those are game changers as much as this club is, it means one can have a set of wedges and irons that are a complimentary set with similar characteristics and an appropriate loft variance between them. I feel this is great for amateurs such as myself who want to bring as much consistency to the game as possible. I've purchased a few new clubs this year, all of which I like, but this is the only one I can say is without a doubt a game changer for me.

I actually received my order early (Thank you Amazon and crew). I put it in bag and arrived at the course a little early so i could try it out before actually playing. It does exactly what it is advertised for as long as you do as instructed and use a putter stroke when hitting the ball. it is great on tight lies which is where a lot of us have problems with digging behind the ball or hitting it thin. there is no such thing as a perfect club that will fix everything but when used as you should with a putting stroke and let the club do the work, and as i did with a little practice you will get the feel of it and get your distance down. from the rough it's a little more difficult but with a little practice it works there as well. the only part i didn't like was the grip was too thin for me, but thats an easy and cheap fix. Overall great buy!

I love the square strike! You don’t have to muscle your way in heavy rough. It’s like cutting through butter, it has given me confidence in these situations. Would recommend to anyone. Thanks for such a reliable club.

Good club hard to hit a bad shot with it

okay

Seems to be a well designed pitching wedge that even works well in thick wet grass lies

I really love this club. As I've gotten older, my short game has been more and more erratic. This club gives me a consistent, soft lob up onto the putting surface, increasing my confidence around the greens. That improved confidence has taken strokes off my game. In theory, you should be able to accomplish the same thing with any number of clubs, but this lets me use a consistent putting like stroke for straight, soft chips with great feel and control. If you are already on the Tour, you don't need this club and buying this will not get you on the Tour, lol - but for the average golfer, it gives you confidence that you can put the ball on the green from roughly 40 yards out in a consistent and measured way.

I have had the chipping "yips" for too long and will admit that I was desperate for a fix. I have tried almost everything, so why not try the Square Strike. As for the purchase itself, well...let's start with the bad news, your claim that you cannot hit this club fat was proved untrue within my first few swings with the club. However, that problem was very short-lived, there was an adjustment period with this club, I had to get used to the weight and overall profile. That adjustment period was on the front nine holes of my first round with the club in my bag. I was purposely taking balls I hit on the green and moving them into "chipping range" so I could practice with the club. As the round continued my confidence grew and low and behold on hole number 10, I did something that I have not done in forever... I chipped one in for a birdie! It was a beautiful site for my sore eyes! I have since played about four rounds with the Square Strike and I can honestly admit that my confidence around the green with this club has soared! I love the weight on this club. I can feel it much better when chipping. I had to slightly change my stance and grip but this club is gradually lowering my scores! I don't like the ugly green insert and grip... but the improvement this club has made for my game far outweighs the aesthetics. I give it a FIVE-star rating!
