These pics were released by TaylorMade are of their new xFT (exchangeable face technology) wedges with an interchangeable face. There are two available face inserts: the ZTP Groove Face which is conforming to the new groove rules in effect next year, and the Z Groove Face for recreational players who can use deeper grooves until 2024. The wedges will come with a torque wrench for changing out the face.
This is actually a great idea, assuming that there’s no sacrifice in performance or feel with the removable face. It will be interesting to see how expensive the face inserts will be. I have a “go to” wedge in my bag, that I tend to hit much more than any other club, and every year or so I need a new one. TaylorMade is recommending that pros replace the face 4 times per year, top amateurs 2 times per year, and recreational golfers once a year. Please let me know what you think. Would you be willing to try these wedges out, or would you be more likely to stick with more popular wedges like Cleveland or Titleist Vokey?
