Wedges are all about controlling spin, distance and trajectory to place the ball as precisely as you can. That greater precision equals more birdies is a simple formula.
PXG says the premium-priced Sugar Daddy III wedges are made to do that with a high degree of confidence.
“From first look, it is obvious that Sugar Daddy III Wedges are something special—the craftsmanship is impeccable,” PXG Founder and CEO Bob Parsons stated. “From the first swing, there is no doubt that these babies will get you up and down from any lie and in any condition.”
The groove pattern is slightly wider and has a 25% larger cross-sectional volume than the typical narrower grooves this helps the groove edge grip the ball 0.002” deeper which improves spin generation and lets moisture escape more easily.
The BP-Grind with 12° bounce and wide sole is a high toe profile and has full face grooves that are good for wet turf and soft sand especially if the attack angle is steep. The C-Grind (7° bounce) has a classic head shape and narrow sole with lots of taper from front to back. The versatile S-Grind has a 10° bounce for square face or open face shots.
