Title: SMT Durometer and Reid Lochart wedges
Post by: Walfredo on August 30, 2007, 01:01:08 PM
You pay for shipping and I'll ship one or both to you. 

SMT Durometer black 59° maybe bent to 60° by previous owner not sure.  On a Hump stiff shaft at 36" with a SMT grip.  Club is in excellent condition.  Spins the ball a ton but I hate the sole.  It is great for for those one hop and stop pitches however. 


Reid Lockhart 60° lob wedge dual sole, stock Rifle 5.7 shaft and stock grip.  Used but decent shape.  This is very similar to the Eidolon but without the milling.  I have an Eidolon 60 now so no need for this.  I love the sole of this one, just a great wedge. 

Let me know if you'd like to try one.

No takers?

I'd give it a go but in the immortal words of Baaab, "my bag is set".   ;)

I'll have to think about it. I need a 60*.

I have always wanted to try the RL wedges, but the shaft is too stout for my preference in wedges, and my bag is also set.  [sm_shock]

I'm sure someone will give it a go.

I'll go ahead and take them both. Whichever one I don't use I'll put back up here.

Thanks spanky.  Hope one of them works for you. 

Just no point in having them sit in my closet as my bag is set pretty much too.  And I was tired of trying to make even $10 off of them in the swap shop.  Too many SMT's on the market I suppose.

Speaking of set bags, yours is full of Wishon right spacey?  We might have a Utah first on Sunday.  Designed in Durango - 3x.

Everything except the driver and the putter. Might be the first time I've ever golfed with an entire group who actually knows what the hell kind of equipment I'm playing.

Cool.  Just irons and wedges for me although I understand I possibly should count the 22* Quick Strike too.

TaylorMade on either end of the bag.  Components down the middle.

I thought the CX Micro's were teh suk.  Way too light IMO for a lob wedge.  And the milling was pretty smooth and almost non-existent.  I also thought the shape was too round.

Haven't tried them.  Love these.

Those look sweet.  The perfect looking gap wedge.

I really like my CX Micros. I swing weighted mine to play at a D5, though I had room for plenty more if I wanted. The milling is there to ensure a flat face, nothing more, but I find the micro-grooves more than make up for it, well they would if I played a more expensive ball anyway. Besides, from my (admittedly limited) understanding, the deep/sharp milling on clubs like the SMT Durometers is probably going to be determined illegal sooner than later. The shape is just a matter of personal preference, I suppose.

I bet the added weight would have helped me like them better.  I did get used to the shape after awhile.  I made the mistake of having them built with DG super lights so it was extra light with the lighter head.  I bet some extra head weight and the normal DG would have worked much better.  I did like the sole grind and flange.

So what did you think of these wedges Spanky?  I'm considering trying out a new lob wedge and want something with high spin and not a high price tag like vokeys :)  I've heard good things about the Durometers but not a lot about the Lockharts or how much they help generate spin.  Thanks for any insight.

He got $74 for the pair on eBay.

I like the durometers. I already had 2 and that one just filled out the set. I get great spin (especially with the One Platinum ball). I really haven't given the Lockhart much of a chance. I played one round and did not hit it very well. The only bad thing with the SMTs is the sole does not allow opening of the club too much. The lockharts have more of a ground sole. Other then that if you are a good wedge player either are good, even the Snake Eyes are good for the price. If you suck like me then a shovel will do just as goof of a job.

Thanks for the review.  I ordered a 60° Maltby M series Milled wedge to match my 56° wedge I already have and like a lot, but its backordered till Oct 31st  [sm_disgust] So I'm looking for other milled wedges to try out in the mean time.

BTW.  If you still have the Reid Lockhart I'd be interested in purchasing it  ;)

I'm sure I still have it. Let me find it and I'll PM you. Might be later as football is on and it's been 8 years since I've had a Sunday off and football is on. ;D
