PRGR wedges are often overlooked despite being designed using the latest cutting edge technology and manufactured by Endo manufacturing of S20C. TSG is currently doing a lot of wedge testing and and has highlighted Yamaha, Miura, and now Pro Gear (PRGR).
The all new 2011 PRGR iD Forged Wedge has a soft, pure, yet firm feel to it. Softer than the Miura but more firm than the Yamaha recently tested. Of the bunch it’s the most forgiving. It’s sole is well suited for the softer turf conditions and applies itself extremely well in the rough as well as softer sand situations.
The new iD Wedge is designed for the better player with its minimal offset while still containing a lot of forgiveness. It’s top line is what I would consider to be a bit larger than thin yet not thick by any means. It’s got a more Japanese style neck to face/top line transition, the opposite of the Miura and closer in resemblance to the Yamaha.
When looking at it face on It stands tall with a lot of contact surface in all areas which adds to it’s ease of use. When I look at it’s design I see bits of cavity and perimeter weighting which counters its lower sole mass to produce a trajectory even the professional player can appreciate.
It’s spin is equal to the Yamaha, more than the Yonex & Miura, and less than the Akira H2. Of those mentioned above it’s by far the most forgiving. Stay tuned more wedge highlights to come this coming week.

nice review ! i had the older prgr mti wedges and they were very good! these look very interesting, nice shape which kinda looks like the epon 210 kgx. on looks i place these after the yamaha and RC.
i assume these are conforming grooves?
How would you compare the feel to the 210KGX?
