Solus Tour 7.1
$129, steel
solusgolf.com
We tested: 51°, 56°, 61° loft in True Temper steel shaft
Company line: "Crescent-cut sole contour lowers the leading edge for better setup and play on square-face shots. An open-clubface reveals greater bounce (two 18-degree surfaces), for improved sand play. The relieved heel area helps to play open-face lob shots."
Our Test Panel Says:
PROS: Solus Tour produces polarizing views— some testers absolutely love it, while a group of others vote it least favorite; fans call it a real revolution in wedges; sole design builds in forgiveness, produces ultra-consistent contact; with this sole, there's no such thing as a tight lie; very good checking power, even off downhill lies or to a downslope; sole grind facilitates any number of options from hooding to flop shots.
CONS: Off-center contact causes noticeable distance loss; feel is functional, not memorable; flies slightly shorter than others.
"It's the Swiss Army knife of wedges." — Dave Doctora (8)
