You sold me, boys. I just ordered a Gap(50 degree), sand (54 degree) and lob (58 degree). I've been looking for wedges ever since I appear to have left my sand and lob wedges on a course. These look like winners. New gen 3s run $190 each. I bought the Gen 2s for less than $90 each. Thanks for the test on these clubs.
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 not only do they look amazing but they sound even better on camera! Doing vlogs with Rick for years I’ve found on camera the sounds indoor don’t emulate what you feel. But those wedges sounded awesome and from what you said, Ian they felt just as good. Great review!
When I worked at a high golf retailer we carried Bettinardi putters and wedges and they sold well! They both had the hexagon face and looked really cool! Good to see them on a come back!
My first thought -- upon seeing the video title -- was, "Ooo, Bettinardi wedges. Pretty." My second thought -- upon seeing Matt behind the counter -- was, "Bet they aren't available lefty."
Reading this? Stop playing with our emotions: Like-Comment-Subscribe You're not going to find better golf content anywhere ... These gentlemen are the best!! ....and it's unfortunate these wedges aren't available for us lefties...very nice looking and what a great sound! Thx for sharing TXG!!!
Does TXG have Bettinardi putters in the putter line up? I haven't seen any on the videos...just curious. I think at present count I have about 6 Bettinardi putters in my loft/golf locker. The feel of Bettinardi putters (especially those with the FIT face) is euphoric!
@@jimtaylor7193 I’ve been playing the BB56 mallet since 2018. I absolutely love it! And since that comment I did add the HLX 3.0’s to my bag. 52, 56, and 60 degree. BEST WEDGES I’ve ever played!!! SO glad Matt & Ian did this review. Without TXG I probably wouldn’t have bought them other wise. ☄️🏌🏼♂️🏁
You mentioned that better players tend to hit that lower spinny ball flight on wedges. Could you do a video on maybe what technique changes could be made to help a player bring their flight from the 100 foot high but lower spin to that 80 foot spinny shot?
@@wallstreetoneil Tip on playing clean wedges/irons....go to a dollar store or hardware store and find a 'nail brush' (or search online)...they are dirt cheap....you might even find them in packages of two for under $10...keep it in your pocket during your round and after every shot...just brush the dirt from the groves once or twice...before you put your iron, wedge back in your bag...it really makes a difference on contact and spin.
Setup in the middle of your stance or a little towards your back foot whatever feels more comfortable but if the ball is placed too far forward you’re not leaning the shaft enough DONT SWING OUT TO IN AT ALL you don’t necessarily have to try and hit a draw but once it gets passed neutral the flight goes up spin goes down.I used to look an inch in front of the ball and hit it while never looking directly at the golf ball, it forces you to lean the shaft more without thinking about it. Spin is all about the strike so don’t worry about swinging out of your shoes to get more spin, a perfectly struck smooth swing will spin a lot more than a 110% swing missing the center of the face by 1/8 inch. The 50 yard shot will be half the height and double the spin and a full shot will do the same and that stroke is how you hit the one hop stopper too. Hoped this helped dude. I’m a pga assistant professional
I had Bettinardi wedges until six or eight months ago when I was talked into a set of Vokeys and that is a decision that I'm regretting somewhat. The Bettinardi's are soft and felt amazing while the Vokey's, by comparison, are hard and clicky and don't match the feel of my forged Mizuno MP33 irons. Now I'm thinking about trading back to the Bettinardi wedges.
This video validates my trust for the 52 deg i ordered at Bettinardi website. It’s the prettiest wedge I’ve seen so far fellas ... great review and feedback guys
After watching this video I ordered 50,54,58. WELL worth the money!! Excellent feel off the face and more than plenty spin. Look great at address. One of the best purchases I’ve made in a while!! Thanks guys!!!
I have three of these in the bag. Love them and have hit some of the best wedge shots of my life with them. Bunkers, rough, tight fairways, partial and full shots are all covered. I have RJ grind.
Good Video guys, love Bettinardi putters and known about wedges for awhile. Of course my uncle plays with Bob Bettinardi all the time outside Chicago. Good company and really good guy
Love these wedges they are absolutely the softest and best feeling wedges I have ever played. I always thought that Vokeys were the best and played them for years. But after hitting some of the forged irons the past few years I realize how clicky and hard they are. Been searching for a nice forged wedge, I had the Mizen S 18’s and they were OK. Had issues with fat and thin shots and distance. My wedges were always significantly shorter than my stock Iron set depending on what I was playing. These Bettinardis are just as long as my stocks and are just so consistent. I had two chip ins for birdie in one round with my 58° wedge a few weeks back to win our match. My buddies now sigh every time I pull them out, and my opponents want to throw them in the woods LOL. Out of the sand rough or Fairway they are extremely easy to hit. I used to always be nervous with a wedge in my hand that I would hit it fat, but these just cut through anything.
I have 50 degree with the modus 115 wedge shaft ($10 upcharge) and love it. My other wedges are PXG sugar daddy and Romeo. The Betti is just as soft and spins crazy consistent. If I didn’t get a great deal on the PXGs I’d have the Betti’s as my other wedges. Great video as usual.
I am so happy Bettinardi designed a new wedge. I used to have his 2.0 wedge. Very well made, but it was so unforgiving, I used it for practice only...this new one looks great!
Just got fitted for a 54 and 58 degree wedge and I tested out the Titleist Vokeys as the Callaway Mac Daddy and neither of them performed like the Bettinardi HLX's. Ended up putting them in the bag. Can't wait to play them.
Gorgeous looking and performing wedges. So Ian now needs 2 TXG golf bags (white and black). One for all his wedges, the other for the rest of his clubs.
Just did a club fitting for Father's Day (took my dad and got him fit) and these were my fave. I'm a single digit handicap and they just felt GOOD. I had the best numbers on the Trackman, as well. I hit some others where they were too hot, generating way too much spin. These were perfect and he said with a spinnier ball, I'll get ideal revs. Anxious to get these in my hand.
Please get you hands on some hogan equalizer wedges. They are budget, but as good as anything out there I think! Would love to see your analysis of them.
These were gonna be my next wedges, but I bought a 50 degree cbx 2 s taper stiff after you're review of them......im gonna go with the cbx, well impressed with them
That sole design and head shape are fantastic! I HAVE to try these!!! I do notice my Vokey toe and heel kind of dig on hard pan like you mentioned. So I would love to give these a shot.
I can see these being a popular fitted wedge! Great performance with a custom feel give you some serious bag appeal, who doesn't like some unique equipment in the lineup!
Hi guys. Could you compare Bettinardi HLX 3.0 vs other leading wedges please. I am in the market for new wedges but not sure if worth spending extra to get the Bettinardi wedges. Also look forward to upcoming Cleveland wedge review in a few months!
Those look great. I recently got fit into the Hogan Equalizers. ( I’d like to see those get reviewed as well) I tried hitting Mizunos, the CbX Full Face, and the Miura wedges for a laugh. The Hogan’s were just super solid and very affordable.
I used the 2 previous incarnations from Bettinardi. Would be nice to have some different grinds though. Especially, would like an L grind in the lob wedge.
Fellas, fun as always, and definitely was interested hearing Ian's take on it being somewhere between a Miura and a Mizuno in feel. I'd probably describe the last couple of iterations as more Mizuno than Miura, so really curious to see how these are. I'm also very much in awe of Ian's sick laser beam shots, especially from the guy "struggling with wedges"!
I can just watch this 50 yard shot off of the 'firm' lie at 10:01 on a loop. Would love to see another Bettinardi wedge review with Ryan and Mikey running them through (*especially interested to hear Mike's view on how the Bettinardi wedges compare to what is available in the 2022 market - knowing he's experienced the ultimate in wedge offerings with his Artisan wedges).
The closer these divas get to 100k I keep going down memory lane of the early channel beginnings, Matty hitting right handed with video editing and this video the settings applied again as Mr Fraser and Matty on the reversed side of things. 👍 Also that is not struggling with Wedges Mr Fraser, you could have hit one thin bullet across the green for relational content. 😂🥴 #txg100k👍
I've seen your video on wedge bounce, could you do one on wedge camber and sole raidus and how that affects turf interaction? As always the content is amazing and you gents are great. Keep doin' what you do🤙
Ian, did you ever test these Betti wedges outside? I know you went with the SM8 Raws this season, but I recall your performance (shown in this video) was amazing. Happy new year!!
Hi guys, long time subscriber. Just love your videos. I would love to see you try the Ben Hogan equalizer wedges and there new PTX PRO IRONS AND ICON IRONS. Looking to possibly purchase them. Just need a honest review. Love what you guys are doing, keep it up. Thank you
Hi Ian, dont you think the top line is a bit thick tho? Ive been playing VEGA for 3 years now but bought these. There top line in defo way chunkier that Vega
Tried Ping Forged , glide 3.0 still prefer the T20s from Mizuno - wet wedge testing was in the back of my mind. I wonder what that would be for the Bettinardis - test required???💪💪💪👍👍👍
I think you guys just sold a buncha BertanErnie Wedge Sets with that video...hope they have lotsa stock in Chicago. Q: Do they come in any other finish than the silver that you showed in the video? Something dark, smokey and menacing maybe?
Hey guys - love the channel. Do you know if Bettinardi can do mid-size grips? or at the very least add 4 tape to a standard? Also might be a good video idea. Difference between mid-size grips vs standard w/ 4 tape.... i would be interested.
I have a Bettinardi wedge from a few years ago. It is a great wedge, but I bought it used and is not nearly as upright as I would like. I had it adjusted but it just isn't enough. I will probably get rid of it. It is basically brand new.

You don’t need a 5$ ball or a 200$ wedge. You couldn’t tell the difference between a 10 year old wedge and a 2$ ball unless you’re

Ian, your swing looks great. Looks like you have been doing some productive work. Great job.
Those are some 🔥 looking wedges! Definitely adding them to the list of wedges to test!

@@ianfrasergolf What am I gonna do - NOT WATCH!? AGV guys.

Dr stranglewank 😝 me too. Saw the review of cbx2 and went and got a 60. Love it. Ball lands like a butterfly with sore feet.
@@seanpeacock5595 my dog could game them, there so easy to hit......but oddly not like any other game improvement club I've tried
Not sure if it was just this video, but the sound on those wedges was so crisp. Every shot sounded so pure. Is Matty worried about his job?
He’s definitely not worried!! 😂😂
Anyone else like these videos before watching
Every time
You just know it's gonna be good
Yep every time, they never fail to earn the Pre-watch thumbs up👍
Always. They never disappoint!
Every time
That sole design and head shape are fantastic! I HAVE to try these!!! I do notice my Vokey toe and heel kind of dig on hard pan like you mentioned. So I would love to give these a shot.
Man they sound amazing!
Apparently something else does feel like a Mizuno. Great review guys!
Beautiful looking wedges and I think Ian looks really tempted. Of course being a canny Scot more testing is necessary before he opens his wallet.👍👍😊
I can see these being a popular fitted wedge! Great performance with a custom feel give you some serious bag appeal, who doesn't like some unique equipment in the lineup!
They sound and look great... any chance of getting an Epon wedge video?
Hi guys. Could you compare Bettinardi HLX 3.0 vs other leading wedges please. I am in the market for new wedges but not sure if worth spending extra to get the Bettinardi wedges. Also look forward to upcoming Cleveland wedge review in a few months!
Bettinardi also makes detonation switches that helps fund their golf side.
Yup, the golf business is their side gig.

Super sexy wedges. My next trip to Toronto is getting more expensive all the time.
Been waiting for this one, would love to try these out

just more clubs that I will put on my 'to try' list, its a pretty big list at this point!
Can you guys please* do a forged wedge shoot out? Mizuno, Bettinardi, PXG etc? That would be awesome!
Beautiful looking wedges.... Love my muzino forged wedges. Might be worth checking out.
Those wedges do look awesome.

As Ian said...I had no idea they made wedges. They do t make lefty versions though! Just checked!
Surely if enough of us lefty’s request them....?
Would love to see you guys review the Bridgestone TOUR B XW-1 Wedge next!!!
Would be a nice addition along side the new miura irons 👀👀👀

Never knew they made wedges...great wedge video👍🏌️♂️
Those look sharp!!
These wedges look awesome. Hope they come to South Africa
Are you going to do course and controlled wet tests and hopefully post this info soon? Would love to see this.
If you could get your hands on kyoei wedges, that would be awesome.
So what’s the O/U on how long before we see a TXG Custom Shop post from Mikey on a custom built new set of new Bettinardi wedges for Ian? 😉
🤣🤣
That’s some great craftsmanship there

Outstanding. Wondering if the Callaway sole is similar?
Great review, get them in bag Ian 😉🏌️♂️⛳️🍻
Ian is the man! Still think I’d beat both you guys in
Another awesome review... I don't know whether to get these or the Zipcore!
You should do a video with these wedges and the Mizuno RB Tour X ball to see how much spin you can get
Guys why are you using GCquad vs gchawk right now?
Hi Ian, dont you think the top line is a bit thick tho?
Ive been playing VEGA for 3 years now but bought these.

@@ianfrasergolf Smokeydarkmeanacinglygood?
Awesome video. Can you guys consider doing a video on Swag Golf Putters? why so expensive?
Hey guys, love the videos! Random question. What's the setting you have on FSX 2020 to get the camera to follow the ball in the air?
This has probably been asked 1000 times or more but what hitting mats do you use in the studio?
Hey guys - love the channel. Do you know if Bettinardi can do mid-size grips? or at the very least add 4 tape to a standard? Also might be a good video idea. Difference between mid-size grips vs standard w/ 4 tape.... i would be interested.
Ian new wedges. Would you say those are good for steep players?
Definitely
Nice wedges. Great review. Loved it.
@TXG ... Have you guys done the outside review on these wedges yet?
Which grind did you review? The C or the RJ? Would be nice to see what Yas think of both grinds.
Those are sweet wedges. Wedge bracket for Ian?
Any chance we see further testing with these? Or, maybe you have already?
Great video
I have a Bettinardi wedge from a few years ago. It is a great wedge, but I bought it used and is not nearly as upright as I would like. I had it adjusted but it just isn't enough. I will probably get rid of it. It is basically brand new.
What would you say the best wedge is for a scratch golfer who is looking for a lower launching but still high spinning wedge
Are these different from limited run they sold a few years back?
Edit: after thinking back on it was the original run milled sole?
Can you guys do a course vlog. Basically, just play 9 holes and bring us along with you guys.
Is this looking like a good sole design for the steep player who tends to dig a little too much?
Where's the Callaway fwy wood bracket test?
These wedges are not available in LH. I asked, before going with Miura.
Do you guys think that , because they spinn like crazy , you have to be very skilled so you can controll launch and trajectory ???
I didn’t know Ian could hit a 9500 yard wedge that’s impressive
