Wilson PMP Wedges: What you need to know
Wilson’s new PMP wedges (Precision Milled Performance) use the company’s full-volume HM grooves, as well as “Micro Spin Lines” between each groove to maximize spin on both partial and full wedge shots.
The PMP wedges ($99.99 each) have already been used on the PGA Tour by Troy Merritt, Ricky Barnes, and Brendan Steele, and we expect Kevin Streelman and Padraig Harrington to be gaming them in 2016 as well.

Inside Collin Morikawa’s recent golf ball, driver, 3-wood, and “Proto” iron changes
As you probably know by now, Collin Morikawa switched putters after the first round of The Masters, and he ultimately went on to finish T3.
The putter was far from the only change he made last week, however, and his bag is continuing to change this week at the 2024 RBC Heritage.
On the range of The Masters, Morikawa worked closely with Adrian Reitveld, TaylorMade’s Senior Manager of Tour at TaylorMade, to find the perfect driver and 3-wood setups.
Morikawa started off 2024 by switching into TaylorMade’s Qi10 Max driver, but since went back to his faithful TaylorMade SIM – yes, the original SIM from 2020. Somehow, some way, it seems Morikawa always ends up back in that driver, which he used to win the 2020 PGA Championship, and the 2021 Open Championship.
At The Masters, however, Rietveld said the duo found the driver head that allowed “zero compromise” on Morikawa’s preferred fade flight and spin. To match his preferences, they landed on a TaylorMade Qi10 LS 9-degree head, and the lie angle is a touch flatter than his former SIM.
“It’s faster than his gamer, and I think what we found is it fits his desired shot shape, with zero compromise” Rietveld told GolfWRX.com on Wednesday at the RBC Heritage.
Then, to replace his former SIM rocket 3-wood, Morikawa decided to switch into the TaylorMade Qi10 core model 13.5-degree rocket head, with an adjustable hosel.
“He likes the spin characteristics of that head,” Rietveld said. “Now he’s interesting because with Collin, you can turn up at a tournament, and you look at his 3-wood, and he’s changed the setting. One day there’s more loft on it, one day there’s less loft on it. He’s that type of guy. He’s not scared to use the adjustability of the club.
“And I think he felt our titanium head didn’t spin as low as his original SIM. So we did some work with the other head, just because he liked the feel of it. It was a little high launching, so we fit him into something with less loft. It’s a naughty little piece of equipment.”
In addition to the driver and fairway wood changes, Morikawa also debuted his new “MySymbol” jersey No. 5 TP5x golf ball at The Masters. Morikawa’s choice of symbols is likely tied to his love of the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team.
Not enough changes for you? There’s one more.
On Wednesday at the 2024 RBC Heritage, Morikawa was spotted with a new TaylorMade “Proto” 4-iron in the bag. If you recall, it’s the same model that Rory McIlroy debuted at the 2024 Valero Texas Open.
According to Morikawa, the new Proto 4-iron will replace his old P-770 hollow-bodied 4-iron.
“I used to hit my P-770 on a string, but sometimes the distance would be a little unpredictable,” Morikawa told GolfWRX.com. “This one launches a touch higher, and I feel I can predict the distance better. I know Rory replaced his P-760 with it. I’m liking it so far.”

The micro grooves are patterned in the same fashion as those on Wishon’s PCF Micro wedges, though they don’t appear to be as pronounced as the Wishon design. http://wishongolf.com/designs/wedges/pfc-micro-tour/
First time I’ve seen an OEM put something out similar to the Wishons, which have been available for several years now, and produce more spin off half-shots than anything else I’ve come across.

The club looks nice but I favor a forged wedge. Also the micro lines will be gone in one round in our sand based soil here in Florida. However I intend to try them and if the feel good they may replace my worn out Scratch wedges.

They look pretty good. I wish they would have kept the dark PVD finish as well, but I’d use the blue ones anyways.

Gave up on Wildon a few years ago after my golf bag was stolen from military housing in Hawaii. Contacted Wilson asking if they would help replace my irons ( at my cost). Was told sorry, can’t help. Mizuno and Peak Vision write me back thanking me for my service and replaced my wedges and sunglasses for Free! But I digress… Time has passed and I admit I like the looks of the new wedges… Will compare them to my current lineup ( cobra tour trusty).

Are you kidding me? The company won’t replace your stolen golf clubs, and it’s somehow their fault? You should count yourself very lucky that you somehow got your wedges and glasses replaced. It’s not the manufacturer’s duty to replace stolen product.
JohnJohn

Oh I agree. I asked them to replace a model I could no longer find and I would pay for them. They just said can’t help you, it’s not our policy, not even a ” sorry we no longer carry these or we no longer have these is stock etc… Kudos to the other companies mentions for helping me.

We need to stop breeding a society of complainers. its also possible that the company has changed the way they manufacture and to set up molds of such club is not economical. Yes Ping will do this but they also will charge a premium to manufacture one-offs. Thank you for serving but please don’t blame the manufacture for your miss fortune.

Takes some balls (Duos) to post your comments about Wilson. So what they didn’t help. Had you said they didn’t replace a defected item it would have been different. Next time Wilson loses something they should call you looking for help on replacing it for free.

I believe he said he asked Wilson to replace the irons, “at his cost”.

Story makes no sense. My 3 year old set of clubs (I know u didn’t specify) were stolen, so please dust off the old manufacturing equipment and make me a new set. What did you expect them to say?
