The
aerospace steel alloy Carpenter 440XH face material
– a remarkably wear-resistant metal alloy (often
used in industrial bearing assemblies and critical
valve components) – will maintain both face friction
and groove integrity far longer than conventional
wedges, thus providing consistently high backspin
longevity. With new USGA regulations on the horizon,
wedge durability will be more important than ever
for maintaining shot trajectory and control. The
Carpenter 440XH material is milled to a USGA-conforming
texture of 180 micro-inches, creating a face texture
and edge-groove radius perfect for consistent shot
making.
Many golfers do not realize that backspin longevity
is so fleeting that tour professionals replace their
wedges often throughout the golf season to keep
ball control and shot performance at the highest
possible level.
“These enduring wedges will help golfers hit better
scoring game shots, control their wedge distances
to tighter tolerances, and consistently shoot lower
scores,” said Pelz.
Using a proprietary design technique, Bobby Jones
- Pelz Wedges provide the perfect combination of
soft-feeling shots and extremely low face wear to
produce a superior-performing wedge, season after
season. By applying heat and pressure to a special
structural bonding membrane, Ortiz facilitates the
release of an epoxy resin, which – upon cooling
– creates a bond between the club’s stainless body
and face material that is stronger than welding.
Upon curing, the membrane returns to its slightly
spongy state, thus creating a soft forged-like feel
to each shot.
The club’s body is cast from a soft 302 stainless
steel. A pocket and deep set channels are milled
to accommodate the club’s wear-resistant Carpenter
440XH face material. The channels behind the clubface-insert
remove substantial weight from the central section
of the body, allowing additional weight to be repositioned
to the sole for a low center-of-gravity.
