Scratch wedges have come down almost a full decimal place
Weren't these the legendary wedges that Dorkman played that cost $600? They've got em on Rock Bottom Golf for $69.95. Dorkman must be turning in his grave.
Looking at all the loft/bounce options (Digger/Driver, Driver/Slider or Sweeper/Slider) it's apparent that these wedges really do allow you to play "all the shots".
They sure have. Looking at picking up a couple to match up with the set of 701's I picked up. PW is only 46 and getting a 54 with the irons so will pick up a 50 and 58.
Bridgestone J38 10.5, Srixon 2,3,4 hybrids. Snake Eyes Viper Tour
Eidolon 52,56 and 60 wedges.
Bettinardi sb-5+ putter.

This one was easy to see coming. Scratch made a name for themselves by claiming their wedges were custom ground in America after being forged in Japan. Then they got exposed. ...Their wedges were all being made in Chinese sweat shops.
I think Scratch owes us all an apology. Most of us weren't foolish enough to fall for their bogus marketing, but we were all affected...we lost one of our fellow forum brothers...Dorkman.
Dorkman, if your out there reading this. Comeback buddy, its not your fault and you're not alone...some people on this forum still have Callaway products in their bags.

I just realized why the Scratch logo has looked familiar to me. It reminds me of Old Sandwich Golf Club in Plymouth, Massachusetts. OS is private but one amazing place.
I feel badly Dorkman's ego got so bruised. We all get swindled occasionally, the best thing is to admit it and move on. Although paying $300 a wedge when it's made from inferior sweatshop metal and customized by 10 seconds of grinding is a bitter pill.
In Dorkman's honor I'll relate the following. My gf's traveling this week and we're not exclusive anyways so on Wed night without anything to do I went out to a place known as one of the hottest single bars in the area for 30 and 40 somethings. Orange County has MILFs and cougars like you wouldn't believe. I'm not a bar guy, I'm more of an every day situation opportunist.
Saw this very hot blonde built nice at least in clothes come in and take up about 20 feet away. Good eye contact but before I could get up two guys started with her. She seemed to engage so I went back to my drink. Five minutes later she's tapping me on the shoulder. Ten minutes later she has her tongue down my throat and is like licking my face. I'm not shy but this is in a crowded respectable bar.
I'm really not that good looking but I do have bedroom eyes and somehow things like this just happen to me. I'm at an age where this stuff is winding down so I'm out to make the most of what remains.

Thanks for sharing that LO I'll definitely sleep better knowing you pulled!

buy this wedge and you will be very very happy...Almost no bounce, get a ball up in the air very quick, very versatile, better than my TM sand wedge... best of all, I paid $8.99 each club a few yrs ago, bought 4 just for the hell of it, turns out to be excellent investment for my golf game...

I have altered your post to more accurately reflect what actually happened.
No need to thank me mate, after all what are friends for
Hillarious but those things felt natural, there was no adams apple visible and, oh jeez Edgey, can't you just allow an aging warrior a little glory hole pleasure?
Modified again Loz, all part of the service.
PS Camp Freddy has a renewed interest in older men of Italian heritage. BE AFRAID
Loz's is planning a trip to the UK to see Stonehenge. Perhaps you can arrange a little rendevous with Camp Freddy?
No, I'm good. I am however developing an image of British women being essentially men with wigs, sometimes with an x, sometimes a y, sometimes both.

It's coming back to me now, those pants were tight and would have revealed the wrong apparatus.
I respect your protective instincts where women and gay people are concerned. I feel the same way. I promise I'll do everything I can to make her happy.
Hey, if anyone's getting treated like a piece of meat here it's me.

Let's face it. If Dorkman was reading this and responded he'd argue black and blue that they were worth it for the sole grind customization that allows him to play "all the shots" and that he couldn't give a monkeys about the metallurgy of the club. Oh and also berate you for your lifestyle and bragging about your sexual exploits.

Are we sure that's the same scratch wedge that cost $300 at one point? I'm sure you can get them new on Ebay for even cheaper.
I saw something pretty amusing the other day--a set of Ray Cook Titanic Titanium irons, 3-PW, for $29.99 at Golf Mart. When these irons first came out back in 1995, supersized irons were believe to be the future of golf. At that time they cost $1,599. I picked one of the irons up and it was quite possibly the ugliest iron I've ever seen. You really could use it as a garden hoe.

Agreed and I kind of miss it. He never got that we were just messing around even after we'd explain it to him. And yes FD they were unequivocably $300.
Now if these trolls don't bring him back, he's gone.

I don't think it was. Scratch always had two lines of wedges. This one is their cast. open mould one. They have been cheap for a little while now. They used to retail just under $100.
Dorkmans were different, he can still defend his position.
You guys just won't let it go, will you.

Hey this is GR. We don't let the facts get in the way of a good story!
I am relatively sure that DM bought custom grind/built wedges to his specs. with Nippon shafts...and the $300 was about right.
Speaking of shafts, the Scratches offered by Rockbottom states they cannot guarantee which shafts the clubs will have....and those shafts are not offered by Scratch. So I get the feeling they are selling out a deal that fell thru.
Regardless, I am jonesing for these wedges when they hit our store in a few weeks.
Buying expensive wedges is pretty silly if you ask me. One of the best wedge rounds I have ever had was with a wedge I borrowed out of the lost and found bin. I had sold my wedge and had yet to buy a replacement so the pro let me use the Dunlop wedge out of the bin. I'm telling you, I hit that thing better than anything I'd ever tried in the past. It looked like it was purchased from Sportmart or some place similar. The thing I liked about it was the precise feedback it gave me. I just couldn't believe how I was hitting one shot after another right next to the pin. I had to turn it back in at the end of the round and I've been looking ever since for my precious Dunlap.
I know it sounds weird but I tend to like cheaper wedges. I like a high-end, brand name driver but when it comes to wedges I think cheaper is better. It shouldn't be die-cast aluminum but it should have a dull finish with an Apollo shaft. You know what? I'm going to Sportmart at lunch time and I'm going to find me a cheap wedge.

Why didn't you buy it? Couldn't have been the cost.
