New for 2011 - Scratch Golf 8620-USA wedge
by Dominic Pedler
May 2011
 Scratch has been a cult, ‘boutique’ brand among the cognoscenti since 2003, with top pros such as David Duval among those currently playing their deliciously stylish irons and wedges.
While initially famous for forgings like their premium 1018 wedges, the 8620 series is actually a teardropshaped casting that offers a tour quality product at a much lower price point. The milled face features the conforming version of Scratch’s popular ABC grooves (standing cryptically for All Bite no Cover). Lofts are from 47-60 degrees and there are six sole grinds to suit different styles. The latest USA model refers to full USA manufacturing of each component – with the wedges soon to be available in the UK through Urban Golf, in a choice of dark satin or unplated black oxide finishes.
