Golf Digest Hot List Score Featuring Bettinardi's HLX 6.0 Wedges
Why We Like It
- A helix milling tool cuts through material much more easily, ensuring a softer feel while creating deeper surface friction to enhance spin.
- The C grind is for square-faced shots, and the RJ grind (named after company founder Robert J. Bettinardi) features more bounce and heel and toe relief for players looking to manipulate the wedge on shorter shots.
- The ladder milling technique on the higher portion of the back flange removes less material, raising the center of gravity for a lower, more controlled flight.
- The hosel was lengthened by one-eighth of an inch to move the center of gravity closer to face center.
- Speed is not always front of mind with a wedge, but by reducing the weight of the club by two grams, a slightly faster swing is possible.
- On the 48- through 54-degree lofts the radius on the leading edge was reduced compared to last year’s HLX 5.0 to reduce digging on full swings.
- Top 5 in Sound/Feel, low-handicaps.
- 11 options (48-60 degrees), 2 grinds, 2 finishes
