A game I play is from the book Lowest Score Wins where you hit 3 balls from 1 spot to 3 different holes and score points for a ball ending within X feet of the hole, where X is your index (9 for me) and lose points outside this distance. You finish when you get to 50 points. Because of time constraints I only played to 25, butI got there significantly faster with the Indi 60 than my PING 58. This was after only using the wedges for 10-15 minutes vs something I have bagged for 2-3 seasons. Yes, I am a Pirate (ECU that is). 200 years too late. The cannons don't thunder....." (Jimmy Buffet moment there) I don’t have ready access to a launch monitor bay, so I will need to be investing in a personal launch monitor over the course of this test to get some spin numbers that are more that just "I think it spins more!".

So a few things were noticeable during the testing period with the Indi wedges. One thing that was noticed both in testing and on the launch monitor was that I had a tendency to hit left of target just slightly with the Indi wedges while my PXG wedges tended to go a little right of target. Both sets are at a degree upright, but on closer inspection, it seems, at least to my eye, that the Indi wedges sit slightly closed compared to my current set. After paying a little more attention to this and adjusting the face angle, the performance has been better. Discard the deep fried oil as it is not good to reuse. However if you still prefer to reuse it, skip chilli powder/ paprika from the seasoning as it discolors the oil. Indi has done really well and have produced a product that has a premium look and slots in well with the Mizuno's, Vokeys and Cleveland's of the world. I’m almost certain that I’m going to get some flak for this score, but hear me out first. I took these clubs to the launch monitor and used various clubs going at targets at 60 yards and 75 yards, as well as full swings to compare some numbers against my PXG wedges. On paper, everything about the Indi wedges beats the PXG wedges in this situation. Looking at the 60 yard and 75 yard target results, much smaller dispersion, much closer to target for the Indi wedges on both.If we just look at the straight numbers comparing the PXG wedges against the Indi wedges, we see that all around, the Indi wedges are getting me closer to the hole, and that’s never a bad thing. On average, I’m 3 feet closer when I’m inside 50 yards, which has been a huge help to take some pressure off my putting. The wedges each have the same degree of bounce (10 for the FLX S’s) and that makes for a consistent feel across all when engaging the bounce. It helped in my learning curve on how the wedges would react - as they all bounced the same. For me these have a classic shape with a large, welcoming face. They just look like they want to be hit.

Stripped down bag drill: The round with the 5w, 5i, 7i and Indi wedges proved that you don’t need a full bag to shoot a decent round. The 50 worked well on the longer approaches while the 54 and 58 took care of greenside.Now when it comes to performance, these wedges come into their own. For a start these things are accurate!! Well, as accurate as I can make them . When I put a good swing on them, I can put it straight down the barrel.
