Comments on: Hands On: TaylorMade XFT Wedges http://www.sandbox8.com/2009/10/29/hands-on-taylormade-xft-wedges/ Golf products reviewed by the everyday golfer Wed, 10 Mar 2010 23:41:47 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: HJ Dean http://www.sandbox8.com/2009/10/29/hands-on-taylormade-xft-wedges/comment-page-1/#comment-1882 HJ Dean Fri, 12 Feb 2010 23:20:50 +0000 http://www.sandbox8.com/?p=2109#comment-1882 There are a number of XFT wedges available on eBay, some new, some demo. However they are not available at retail yet, and most likely won't be until mid- to late-March. The torque wrench will not be inlcuded, so you need one from the R9 (higher torque -- not from an r7) or buy one separately from a golf retailer. I heard there was an issue with the internal washer alignment (that prevents the screw from fully removing) that held the release back a few weeks full-bore.

I wonder if the whole groove ruling delayed the release date. When I saw the XFT Wedges at the BMW Championship, they were supposed to hit stores this November. I'll see what I can find out. Thanks R Bob,

There are a couple of people on the internet suggesting they will be hitting stores in February but I can't find anything official from TM about the official release date.

I would check with Golf Galaxy or Golf Smith in your areas. Thanks Rob The XFT should be available at retail already. I would check with Golf Galaxy or Golf Smith in your areas.

And I think this idea is amazing. I just started playing golf and I've been playing a lot! at least the driving range 4 times a week and playing at least 27 holes a week...but anyways I already had to replace my 60* wedge and the only thing that was wrong with the club was the face...the shaft and the grip were pretty much like new. So I had to get a whole new wedge. This idea is great! It will save me money! I can't wait to buy them. Do you know when we can buy the XFT wedges?

I have always hated replacing wedges and having to tweak and tinker to get the new wedge feeling right. Just pop in some new groves and you are backing the ball up again 2 minutes later.
