Why we have the best golf wedges for under $100
A forged wedge for $99 sounds like there's a catch. There isn't, and a reviewer who put ours on camera ended up agreeing.
Big-name wedges keep creeping up in price, and it's fair to wonder what a $99 wedge is leaving out. The short answer is the stuff you never hit a golf ball with.
A big chunk of a big-name price tag goes to things that never touch the ball, like tour contracts and the markup a store adds on its way to you. We sell direct and skip both, and the club doesn't lose a thing in the trade.
What $99 gets you
It spins, for starters. The Carver 02 Gold has a micro-grooved, sandblasted face, and the ball checks up faster than most golfers expect the first time out. It's forged from 1020 carbon steel, so it feels soft and tells you exactly where you caught it. Every loft weighs the same, which means your 52 and your 60 swing alike. And it's gold, so nobody's mistaking it for anyone else's.
At $99, you're paying for the wedge, not the tour van.
Don't take our word for it
The Art of Simple Golf put our gold wedge through a full review, called it a wedge for a Bond villain, and then made the case for why it belongs in a regular golfer's bag too. It's worth a watch if you're deciding.
