PCF
PLATINUM WEDGES

Wishon’s classic traditional sole wedge design with milled face and Micro-Groove™ scorelines

Features:

  • Traditional, narrow sole, classic shape/profile stands as the finest overall shape and set-up behind the ball in a Wishon Golf original wedge design.
  • CNC Milled Face combines with Wishon’s unique Micro-Groove™ scorelines to offer the highest level of backspin available in a wedge design.
  • Micro-Groove™ scorelines are more narrow and closer together than traditional scorelines – the Micro-Groove design allows the edges of 5 lines to contact the ball at impact while traditional lines only allow 3.  This is one more key to the enhanced spin design of the PCF Platinum Wedges
  • Designed with Wishon Golf’s unique “zero-bounce heel” – all the bounce has been removed from the heel area of the sole to allow golfers to roll the face open without raising the leading edge.  A key to playability from thin grass and even hardpan.
  • Numerous wedge fitting options in 52, 56, and 60 degree lofts.

I keep blading my wedges and hitting myself in the nuts with the butt end of the grip. Is this a problem with the bounce or should I butt trim the shaft. Is there a chart I can look at?

Hey Tom,

I hope you are keeping well.

I have played these wedges for the past 8 seasons and have gone through 14x 60* heads. They are incredible. Unfortunately, I can’t seem to source heads anywhere ( I would buy 20 of them!) Could you assist?

Thanks so much

Have you ever thought about making the 60 and 56 degrees of this wedge with score lines all the way out to the end of the toe, a la Callaway PM grind or Taylormade Hi toe? I love this wedge and think it would be so cool if it had score lines and milling all the way out to the end of the toe!

Hi Tom, Quick question regarding the older PCF Micro Tour wedges and 550 LE irons (a blast from the past I know). I have a 2008 PCF Micro Tour 56 degree (“The Bugler” 2008 limited edition one) and love it, never leaves the bag. Have been playing 550C’s to the AW, and picked up a second hand set of 550LE’s (set 22 of 350, I also have set 152 still in their box…) to try the different sole grind and the Interflexx graphite shafts. The 550LE’s have a SW as part of the set, do you remember what the loft… Read more »

Hi Tom, Thanks so much for the reply. I may just carry the 550LE SW and the Bugler PCF Micro for a while and see which one wins. Hopefully we get out of lockdown in Indonesia soon and the competition can begin! I did vaguely remember that the Bugler was for a special local event in Durango, now I have to add Dalton Ranch to the list of courses I have on my dream list for when I visit the States so I can show off my collectible. One last question, and thank you for your time. Is the sole… Read more »

Tom – I have a customer looking for a F grind 14 degree bounce in a 56 and a F grind 8 degree bounce in a 52 – curious on how he was so specific on his information he said he answered questions on the vokey website
Any suggestions on which wedge design you have that will be close to those specs

Good afternoon Tom, I’m a high handicapper (25) that struggles with blading chips around the greens. Coming out of the sand is typically not an issue for me. I’m shopping around for wedges and was curious what you would recommend for my sand wedge and 60 degree. I have not purchased any of your products yet but am very interested in making the switch. Based on my handicap and wanting more of a mid ball flight rather than my current high ball flight would you recommend the 989 or 771 irons. Currently have the Ping G400’s and the heads are… Read more »

Do I need to purchase a fixed $ amount? Am retired now so don’t build many sets per year. Currently have a set of 770s, love them and have a few folks that would like a set.

Thanks Tom, I know most of the club data is in the catalog but have been sidelined from golf and clubmaking for some time ( last catalog I received I believe was 2014 or so). I began tinkering with clubs in 1987 and evolved into making clubs, have acquired every needed piece of shop equipment except an MOI monitor so hopefully qualify. The 771s sound like another great club. John

Craig Mabee (Greater Golf, Endicott, NY) fitted me for your clubs several years ago and put the 56 degree PCF Micro Tour sand wedge in there along with PCF 755 irons and your 3-wood, 2 hybrid and 4 hybrid, mated with a Ping G400 driver. What an upgrade from the old Taylor 360’s I’d been using for years. But that wedge completely changed my short game. I’ll use it till I wear out the grooves, then buy another one. Have to regrip that one club 2-3 times a year. Craig said don’t bother with the lob wedge, you won’t need… Read more »

Tom ,I have a question regarding bounce on wedges . Any thought or interest in putting a 50 degree gap wedge with 10-14 degrees of bounce? It surely seems that the golf manufacturers are making it so that we now need to go to a 48-50 degree loft with some higher bounce options. The gaps between the pitching wedge and gap wedge with some manufacturers at 43-45 for a pitching wedge loft makes it almost impossible to put a standard 52,56,60 make up in the set of wedges. Can I twist your arm to consider a stronger gap wedge with… Read more »

Which wedges spin the ball more? The PCF Micro Pro, or the PCF micro tour?

Looking at the milling on the faces of these wedges it seem that the Micro pro has different milling patters.

Why is the milling style/pattern different on the faces of these wedges? Thanks!

Reply to  Brooks

BROOKS Without question the rougher and more pronounced the ridges from the face milling, the more the face will spin the ball. Typically a circular milling will end up being more rough with more friction than any horizontal milling can be. The different milling was just to offer different options to players. Some players just do not like or want a very pronounced circular milling on the face – to some it is a visual distraction and to others who have the ability to release the club to get more spin anyway, they do not want that much spin as… Read more »

Bounce on that PCF 48* wedge was 6*. How have you been trying to contact Diamond Golf? They are always responsive when they actually get the contact, from what I am aware. You can call them toll free from the USA at 1-844-552-3437 or email at sales@wishongolf.com or info@diamondgolf.co.uk . Yes for sure, they offer all the hosel bore weights we did – 2g and 4g in brass, 6g and 9g in tungsten. I will tell them they are not on line so that can get fixed.

Tom, I currently play the Micro Tour wedges. I was wondering if you have any advice on tipping shafts for these. I currently have different shafts in my irons than in my wedges and I was wondering if I got shafts to match should I tip them like an 8 iron?

Tom Wishon

Reply to  Chris

CHRIS There can be a difference of opinion on actual tip trims for the wedges. I’ve always advised sand wedge trimming for parallel tip shafts to be +1/2″ more than whatever the advised tip trim was for the PW. So if the PW was to be 3.5″ then the SW would be 4″ tip trim. But as I mentioned people do their wwedge trims differently at times, though not with a huge variation. 8 iron tipping for wedges is what many in the industry do to try to get close to the various wedge specific shafts to soften it up… Read more »

In December I was fitted for a Driver and a set of Irons from 4 Hybrid down to a 60 wedge. Really like the look and the feel of your designs. I have one questions. The club fitter who built my clubs had me pick out the heads except for my 56 and 60. He gave me the PCF Micro Pros. I don’t understand why he didn’t offer up the PCF Micro Tours. Is there a significant difference between the 2 and should I mention it?

DENNIS Thanks very much for the kind words of approval for the new sticks you have. I really do appreciate hearing that and am pleased you like them so far. Of the two wedge models the only real differences are the face profile shape of the two designs and then the sole grind difference. The face profile shape is simply a matter of personal shape preference with the PCF being more of a round profile shape while the HM Series are more of an old classic teardrop profile, as the term is used. For the sole grind, to be totally… Read more »

Tom, 1) Any reason to believe a wedge from Cleveland or other wedge specialists would spin more than one of these wedges (which I own)? Meaning that if I assume good technique your wedges should spin just as much as any other leading wedge? 2) What are your thoughts on Cleveland’s cavity back wedge? Do you think a cavity back wedge would be more forgiving than a traditional wedge? Thanks in advance.

Reply to  Malcolm Lewis

Malcolm There is no secret to what makes a wedge more conducive to generating spin. By far, the main influence on spin from the wedge itself is how rough are the flat areas of the face IN BETWEEN scorelines. The lines themselves have very little to do with spin. Their main role is to try to channel away moisture from blades of grass to reduce the moisture that gets in between the ball and the face. But since grooves are quite small in area they can’t channel away very much of this moisture so 98% of the spin on a… Read more »

Dear Tom,
When you google Wishon design 2018, the PCF micro pro wedges comes up. Can you release some information about the score lines and the face treatment and if the wedge has the same front sole knock down grind as the micro-groove HM series?
Also, will the new hybrid 318 RS more play like the discontinued 785 HF hybrids?

Daniel: The new PCF Micro Pro wedges are designed with a circular milled face and the Micro-Grooves that I first created several years ago. The circular milling is pretty usual in that many other wedges incorporate this when they do face milling. The Micro-Grooves are something I came up with some time ago to be able to put the edges of 5 grooves on the surface of the ball at impact instead of just 3 grooves in the case of normal scoreline lines. We do that by making the grooves to be 0.6mm wide and 2.0mm spaced apart. Conventional grooves… Read more »

Had Tom Miller at AA Golf Clubs in Gsrner, NC Build me a set of micro groove wedges in the gunmetal look, 52,56 & 60 and went to range today they setup well, nice trajectory, very easy to setup to, there was a fellow there that’s is off to PGA Q school, asked him to hit, he loved the micro grooves and the way ball went off the face. I have ping glide 2.0 wedges as well and SM6 volkey and these stand up to them

Hmm, I thought they were. But I know for sure the 52, 56, 60 are ok and it might just be that we dropped the 48 and 58 from the PCF line pretty quickly after they were intro’d because they just did not have any demand. Sorry about that if there is confusion over that.

Hi Tom,
I’m playing Sterlings (which I love), but as hard as I tried to keep 8-iron-length wedges in the bag, I just couldn’t ever feel comfortable. So I’m wanting to build 52, 56, and 60 degree wedges in their own single length configuration. I’m targeting these wedges at 293 g head weight. (9g added to AW, handpick LW, and remove 7g from the SW). Have others tried this and been successful?

BRENT This is not an unusual situation although it usually centers on the SW and LW and not the PW or gap wedge. We find that it is about one third of all the players who go with a single length set end up preferring either their old SW and LW if they had one, mainly because over the years they have gotten so used to it that any change in length or weighting or shape and looks will not be acceptable to the player. With the PW and GW, that should not be much of a problem because these… Read more »

Thanks for the quick reply Tom,
My main reason to switch the gap wedge back to a conventional length was shot height. On full swings with the gap wedge (and even worse with the sand wedge) I hit it a mile in the air. I have high swing speed and a nagging problem with flipping through impact, so I’ve always hit it high.
I didn’t feel like I had enough control when my ball was up in the stratosphere.

Hi Tom,
I have a question : why adding a 2* offset on wedges ? I’ve read somewhere that helps for short game when chipping with the ball back in your stance. But, personally, I own the PCF micro tour serie and I feel that can be a handicap for lobshots… Am I just having an issue with the look at address or it does make a change actually ?

GREG: First off, offset is measured in millimeters or decimal equivalent inches. Not in degrees. Loft, Lie, Face Angle are measured in degrees. It so happens that an actual offset measurement of 2 millimeters looks to the eyes as no offset. This is because when two eyes look down on a single object like the leading edge and hosel of a clubhead, there is an optical illusion created in the brain. Thus if you make an iron with an actual zero offset, to most people that looks like the leading edge is out there a little in front of the… Read more »
