Thomas AT-602 Wedges Thomas Golf may not produce the high volumes of clubs Callaway does, but they sure know how to make a great club. We tested their new AT-602 Muscle-back Wedges, fitted with Thomas high bend point steel shafts in regular flex. The first thing that caught our eye was the quality chrome finishing and clean lines. They then took an extra step to blast the top-plane and toe area of the club with glass beads to give a smooth finish that would not reflect glare into the golfer’s eyes. Just like their AT-505 line of Irons and Wedges, the AT-602 has their patented alignment indicator. It’s a black line on the top of the club like a putter, but the key to making this seemingly simple idea so effective, was their redesign of the top-plane to make it level to the ground. This insures that whatever the golfers height or stance, the indicator will always be pointing directly along the target-line of the clubface. Using this indicator greatly increased our accuracy around the green and we found ourselves making a lot more chip-ins. Keep in mind, this AT-602 model is a players club. The head has more concentrated mass behind the ball than over-sized cavity backs. Consistent ball-strikers like this concentrated sweet-spot, as it allows them to “work” their shot and get more feedback on mis-hits. Also, the smaller head and rounder sole slide through the grass and sand better. But, if you are not a consistently accurate ball-striker, your game may be better off with a cavity-back Wedge.
Not only does Thomas Golf sell directly to the public at wholesale prices, but they also custom build your set at no extra charge. This is a nice feature, and we found their turn-around time to be very efficient, only 5 days from the time we ordered untill it arrived at our door. They also sell single clubs so golfers can try one out before committing to a whole set. For more information, visit their website www.thomasgolf.com |
