THOUSAND PALMS, Calif. -- Every golfer wants to play wedges that have a soft feel. But soft feel alone isn’t enough.
“Executing wedge shots often makes the difference between having an average or great round of golf,” said PowerBilt worldwide president Larry Edlin. “Wedge shots can make or break you. So, along with soft feel, players want wedges with a stable hitting area that gives them confidence to make the shots they envision. That’s what we’ve done with our new PowerBilt 2008 Citation Tour Wedges. They deliver both soft feel and stability.”
PowerBilt’s exciting new wedges have a proprietary brass/copper alloy face insert that is extruded through the face and through the back of the club head. This continuous extrusion process yields a tremendously soft and stable hitting area. Add the milled grooves and the 2008 PowerBilt Citation Tour Wedges create higher spin rates with softer feel.
The look of the new PowerBilt wedges and their chrome/nickel plated 303 carbon steel head construction gives golfers confidence too.
“We’ve given our new wedges the tour proven teardrop shape that’s very comfortable to the eye and familiar to most players,” said Mark Wilson, PowerBilt’s Director of Product Development. “They’re easy to open up for delicate shots around the green or for full swings from the fairway.”
PowerBilt Tour Wedges are available in multiple lofts (50, 52, 54, 56, 58, 60) to meet the needs of all players. Shafts are True Temper Dynamic Gold. Grips are Winn G8 AVS. Available in men’s righthand only.
Retail for PowerBilt Tour Wedges are $99.99 U.S., £49.99 UK.
