Why it’s worth trying: Testimonials from touring pros and teachers indicate that Black Magic wedges give higher handicappers a great chance to lower their scores. Available options: Four lofts (48, 52, 56 and 60 degrees) with a hybrid sole that creates a 0-degree bounce angle. Wedges come standard with powder-coated steel shafts (regular flex, 35.5-inch length). Custom orders can be made by phone for any flex, shaft length or grip size. Price: $99.95 per wedge as part of summer sale (normally $119.95). More info: (877) 799-6099 or visit blackmagicwedge.com.  CALLAWAY GOLFX-FORGED VINTAGE Who it’s for: Players of all abilities. What separates it: Available on select models are Mack Daddy grooves, which are sized to be the maximum depth and width for optimal spin. The C-grind sole also is available on certain models, adding versatility for different turf conditions. Plus, a tighter heel-toe radius inspires confidence at address. Why it’s worth trying: With the craftsmanship of Roger Cleveland and input from touring pros, X-Forged wedges offer soft feel and performance that’s been validated by some of the world’s best players.
