**Left: BLACK SCRAPED | Right: BLACK POLISH**
Both wedges are exceptional in terms of appearance, feel, and spin. The sole shape is perfectly designed, allowing both wedges to handle a variety of shots with ease.
**Left: BLACK SCRAPED | Right: BLACK POLISH**
The sole width is nearly identical, though the BLACK POLISH appears slightly wider, which is a minor difference.
**Left: BLACK SCRAPED (MID) | Right: BLACK POLISH (HIGH)**
The mid-bounce and high-bounce types show only a small difference in sole shape, which might result in a different performance. In golf clubs, these tiny differences can produce significant outcomes, which is why many manufacturers are battling in these “millimeter wars.”
**Left: BLACK SCRAPED | Right: BLACK POLISH**
Both wedges have stunning aesthetics, and I can’t choose between them. Looking at these clubs is almost hypnotic, releasing a rush of dopamine, and it naturally enhances focus.
**Left: BLACK SCRAPED | Right: BLACK POLISH**
The original grips are something I had never seen before, and if there were a “Grip of the Year” award, this would certainly be the MVP contender.

**BLACK POLISH**
Both clubs look incredibly sharp. For ease of opening the clubface, I found the BLACK SCRAPED ORANGE LOGO MID BOUNCE to be more favorable.
**Left: BLACK SCRAPED | Right: BLACK POLISH** The feel at impact is the same for both.
**Left: BLACK SCRAPED | Right: BLACK POLISH**
There’s no significant difference in stability, but those who prefer sliding the club through the turf may prefer the high-bounce type.
**Left: BLACK SCRAPED | Right: BLACK POLISH**
Since they come with different shafts, it is difficult to compare only the heads, but I don’t think there’s a major difference in how easily the ball gets airborne.
**Left: BLACK SCRAPED | Right: BLACK POLISH**
Both wedges are excellent in terms of distance control, but in terms of maneuverability, I found the **MID** type to be easier to use.
Both wedges are truly fantastic and have greatly stimulated my buying desire. However, if I had to choose one as my companion, I would undoubtedly go with the MID type. This is not due to a difference in bounce, but simply my personal preference.
It was a luxury to be able to compare two excellent wedges in such detail.
