C3i Wedge - Premium Sand Wedge, Lob Wedge for Men & Women - Escape Bunkers in One, Easy Flop Shots – Legal for Tournament Play, Quickly Cuts Strokes from Your Short Game- High Loft Golf Club

At first I was skeptical and have viewed many many times. I am about a 12 handicap so just an average weekend golfer. I decided to just go ahead and order it. Like any club you need to know how to swing a club properly to maximize the use of it. I didn't get a chance to use at the range as when it arrive I had to play that afternoon.At first I was hitting it well, but short as I hadn't had anytime to really try it out. I figured this would be the case just by the design of the club and loft angle. I played a week later and had a chance to go to the range and practice bunker and approach shots. I was getting a better feel for the club and played again the next weekend. I must say the feel and responsiveness of the club is great. Fourth hole Par 4 2nd shot I pulled a 7 left of pin with a down hill right slope on the green to the pin about 25 yards out. I placed the ball as you would guess uphill short of the flag let the ball roll, it was a chipped in for a birdie.Following week bunker, took a nice easy regular swing as the ball was resting on top and plugged and got up and out and nice placement near the pin. I am curious to see when the ball is a bit sunk in sand how the swing and stance may have to change but for now it has been a great addition to my bag.I really do like this club and some of my friends have been trying it with a good response from them.

great product.

*3 Month update*I wanted to update my original review after 3 months of use with this club.My original findings are still accurate, however there are a few things to note.* The club saves me an average of 2-3 shots per round. My index has dropped to reflect this.* Tight lie pitches (10-25 yards) are easier now with rarely any chunks. Very pleased.* Bunker use is still good, however it is hard to control precise distance with this club. This can result in leaving an 8-10' putt. The upside is I don't think even one shot was left in the bunker using it these last 3 months.* Hitting out of thin lies in bunkers (i.e. unknown barely any sand) is still brutal. This club doesn't help much there. Shots still go sailing long or over the green.* The swing weight of the club is quite heavy. There is a lot of metal in the head. Distance control has been good everywhere else besides bunkers though.* If you are a super good bunker player, then you wouldn't be looking at this club in the first place. I just don't want to spend that much time practicing them anymore.Initial Review:(For reference-my current USGA index is 10.7)Our bunkers in this area have inconsistent sand. Some is hard packed, some almost muddy, while others are soft and some have the dreaded 1/4" skiff of sand under the ball. For me, these conditions are too hard to adjust to and they cost me a lot of strokes due to inconsistent bunker play/conditions. Also, we have a lot of tight lies within 50 yards of the greens. Currently in my bag are wedges by Cleveland, Titleist Vokey, and Callaway. Now there is this C3i replacing the 60^ Vokey. Two playing partners have purchased this C3i wedge prior to me doing so. I have given them enough ridicule about this club to fill a small bunker. Well, low and behold I finally tried one of theirs out. It was a 65^. I threw a few balls in a bunker and tried a few different lies. Much to my chagrin, it was too easy to hit the shots out. My stomach started to ache from all the crow I was eating. Executing short to long shots just meant swing a little longer arc. The darn balls just popped out of the bunkers, as long as you set up square and hit about 1" behind the ball.I then tried hitting shots from tight fairway lies. Again, 90% of the shots were easier than a standard wedge with 10^ bounce. Also, these grooves were making range balls actually bite more than my new Cleveland RTX4 wedge.I bought the C3i 59^ wedge as I found my buddies 65^ to be too much loft. I had to hit flop shots with too much force to make the ball flop at over 15 yards. I find that the 59^ worked just fine on initial testing for flopping short sided practice shots.I will give this wedge more time in the bag and see how it plays out. The biggest drawback I have found so far is that the leading edge (see pic) of the club has already lost its paint after hitting 30-40 practice shots the first day. Not good. I will try to update this review at a later date.Hope this helps!

On a golf trip in Ireland one of my playing partners had this wedge. He’s a 3 handicap and he swears by this club. He let me hit it a few times coaching me to let club sit on the ground and trust the shaft lean and let the club work. After getting the feel for proper set up and ball position I was sold!I found a 2 clubs bundle package and received the 59 and 65 degree steel shafted wedges. I saw some other reviews that said they received a senior flex shaft. I did receive my wedges in two separate shipments so not sure what is going on there. But I am very satisfied.Now I have done some range work to get used to hitting both clubs. I have incorporated into 3 rounds of golf. Focusing on shorter shots vs seeing what happens on full shots. I see two areas where these two wedges will help you.1- out of the sand trap both clubs were amazing in the ease of getting SHORT sided bunker shots to just pop out and land like a butterfly on the green.2- 15-30 yards shots around the green. Tight lies and light rough are ideal. I tried a shot out of deeper rough and club went under the ball.I would recommend practicing both clubs out of the sand and tight lies in fairway or light rough.I also hit some 80% tempo “full” wedges and the 59 went a comfortable 40 yards and the 65 went about 25 yards. I trust my other wedges right now for those tweener yardages. Your mileage may vary!I cannot stress how easy it is to hit out of bunkers. And for soft delicate little trouble or flop shots inside 15yards the 65 is great. Last round I had 3 of these and loved letting the club do the work.

I had this club for three years. My handicap at the time was about a 105. Three years later after a lot of work my handicap is about 85. This club was great for years ago but now since variation of some shots around the green sand etc require opening of the club face to execute properly this club now falls short as tge bounce is huge and lifts the sole of the head off the ground.
