ATLANTA, GA, January 27, 2005 -
Srixon Sports, a world leader in golf club and golf ball technology,
today introduces Srixon’s WG-504 wedges. The WG-504 wedges are expertly
crafted for versatility with a playing profile that will inspire
confidence for golfers to score whether hitting full shots from the
fairway or flop shots around the green.
Forged out
of soft carbon steel with a glare-reducing gun-metal finish, the WG-504
wedges present a classic shape and address profile preferred by better
players. Special heel grinding allows each club to be set open for
bunker or greenside play, inspiring confidence to slip the blade
underneath the ball for high shots which land softly. The modified “V”
groove design imparts tremendous spin and control from almost any lie.
The WG-504 wedges are available in any array of loft and bounce
options—the perfect solution to tailoring the wedges to fit your game.
“Srixon’s
WG-504 wedges are an example that we can mix technology with
playability in every golf club we design,” said Richard Stamper,
Srixon’s President. “The combination of soft forged carbon steel and
modified “V” grooves provides incredible spin and control out of the
most difficult lies. The special grinding in the heel means that the
club can be set open and the blade more easily slipped underneath the
ball for the most delicate shots,” added Stamper. “The shape and
profile are the classic look preferred by better players and serious
golfers, and with seven different loft and bounce combinations, every
golfer will be able to find their ideal scoring club,” added Stamper.
Srixon’s
WG-504 Wedges will be sold exclusively in on- and off-course golf shops
and carry a suggested retail price of $149 per wedge. WG-504 Wedge
