In the world of golf equipment, wedges are the most homogeneous club from manufacturer to manufacturer. While they have evolved, they still share a fair amount of DNA with Gene Sarazen’s OG sand wedge. A straighter leading edge here, a sole grind there, maybe a bit more weight at the top of the blade to lower the flight. Most wedges share a very similar template.
The new Tour Edge Exotics Wingman wedges are trying to do something new. And when I say “new”, I mean they are looking to the past for inspiration, creating a wedge with a distinct design trait favored by some of the best golfers of all time.
Modern golfers are indoctrinated to dislike offset. From a young age, we’re told offset causes a hook. In reality, offset is, according to Tom Wishon, a means to help trajectory. “The more offset, the farther the head’s center of gravity is back from the shaft. And the farther the CG is back from the shaft, the higher the trajectory will be for any given loft on the face. In this case, more offset can help increase the height of the shot for golfers who have a difficult time getting the ball well up in the air to fly.”
But there is another school of thought: having offset in the short irons is the way to keep your hands ahead of the clubface at impact, helping to compress the ball and generate more spin.
For a long time, Japanese irons would come with reverse offset, with more in the short irons than the long irons. To the modern golfer, this looks ungainly and awkward but it was a way of keeping the hands in front of the clubface for a cleaner strike.

There are A LOT of golf terms. Some – like an ace – are pretty intuitive. But bite, snowman, eagle? These terms can leave you scratching your head.
So today we’ve compiled a list of common golf vocabulary to help you learn the language. And if you’re a seasoned golfer take a look and see, how many golf terms do you really know?
An ace, or hole-in-one, is the epitome of scoring in golf. It occurs when you sink the ball with just one stroke, typically on par-3 holes but occasionally on par-4s. Tradition dictates that a player who scores an ace should celebrate with their group or clubhouse by sharing a drink.
An albatross, also known as a double eagle, is an exceptional feat in golf. It means you’ve completed a par-5 hole with just two shots—a very rare occurrence even for experienced golfers.
While still an infrequent achievement, eagles are more common than aces and albatrosses. An eagle is attained when you finish a hole two strokes below its par rating. This often happens on par-5 holes when a golfer can reach the green in two shots and sinks the subsequent putt.
