Anyone else seen these? I was just in the proshop getting my driver reshafted, and saw them! They look ultra-sweet in black, let me be the first to say. They look slightly more compact at address than the stainless, which is purely optical, but I like it. I play them in stainless (wish I had the raw grind protos), and I think I'd've gone black -against my usual philosophy - if the blacks had been available last year. Anyone know how the finish holds up?
FWIW, I compared them to the Chikara wedges, which are very similar in shape and swing weight, and I prefer the RCs. They've both got clean, thin toplines, but the RC shape suits my eye that little bit better. Both sole grinds look niiiice!

They are unplated so I don't think that the finish will hold up over time like the satin version.
Gocchin and Blader-X mentioned about it in their reviews here: http://www.golftoimp...d-wedge-review/ and http://www.tourspecg...te/page__st__24.

Mine is the 56 and yes its a great wedge. Awesome feel, very good from the sand as well as full shots fairway. As far as the finish, it does wear wherever it touches ground or ball. So the face looks two-tone if you will. The top half of the face is still black but the bottom and middle of the wedge has worn from ball/sand contact. Still though its a great wedge and the worn look does not put me off one bit. I keep it clean, use sword oil so I've got no rust issues. Mine is shafted with black nickel KBS shaft so it has a rather stealthy look to it.
