I’ve played with the Callaway JAWS, and while they grip the ball well, I’ve found them a bit too aggressive for my liking on delicate shots. Performance Wedge might be the way to go if you want versatility.
I’m curious about the grip on the Performance. Is it rain-proof? I often play in humid conditions.

I’ve played in both wet and dry conditions with the Performance Wedge, and I can say the grip holds up surprisingly well. Definitely a plus compared to the Vokey’s slicker finish.

As much as I like the Performance Wedge, I must say that the bounce options aren’t as diverse as with some other brands. I sometimes struggle with the variety depending on the course.
That’s a fair observation. It’s essential to match the wedge with the course conditions. Have any of you used more than one model from Performance?
I switched from the 54° to the 58° Performance Wedge recently, and honestly, the extra loft really helped my flop shots land softer. Worth considering if you’re unsure!
Nice tip, dmcclain! Flop shots can be tricky. Anyone else notice a significant difference in playability across different brands?
Absolutely! I switched from a Ping wedge to the Performance and felt more control on tight lies. It’s made my game fun again! Wedges contribute so much to overall performance.

Yes, pricing can vary quite a bit! I found a clearance on some older models. Sometimes the previous year’s releases can be just as effective as the latest versions.
Love that enthusiasm, tammy32! Have any of you seen a big price variance with these wedges? I’m on a budget!
Gotta love a good clearance! Just remember, sometimes the newest tech really does make a difference. I always wonder if it’s worth the hype or just a ploy to empty wallets.
I’ve been using the Performance Golf Wedge for a month now. It’s great in sand traps! The wider sole really helps with getting out easily.

I had a similar experience! The wedge’s feel is really good, almost like it’s guiding me through the shot. I’ve noticed it shines in tight lies too!
I’m still on the fence about the Performance Golf Wedge. Can anyone compare its performance to the Vokey wedges? I’m interested in the feel differences.

I’ve played with both! The Performance wedge feels softer, but Vokey has more spin. It really comes down to personal preference, I think.
Overall, I find the Performance Wedge to be super versatile. It’s worked well in wet and dry conditions. It feels balanced when hitting full shots too.
I’m new to golf, so I appreciate these insights! How does it perform for chip shots around the greens?
For chipping, I think it’s fantastic! The precision is high, and I didn’t struggle adapting to it as a beginner.
That’s encouraging to hear! I’ve had a tough time with my chipping game, so I’m curious about loft options. How does it help with those tight shots?
I would say the 56-degree has been my go-to! It really helps in those tight spots. The notch adds a bit of flair too.
