Solus Wedge
SOLUS GOLF RD 4.1 Series Wedge
I saw my first Solus wedge recently as I took a walk through the Caddy Shack in Livonia, Michigan. It’s intriguing.
Solus Golf claims to have the first new wedge technology in 70 years. It comes, they say, from the recognition that most sand wedge plays are NOT made from the sand. Rather, they are made from a variety of lies around the green, not all of which benefit from the sand wedge’s flanged bounce.
To create a more versatile wedge—they call it a “utility wedge”, Solus has introduced a crescent cut sole contour. A camber added from heel to the toe around the crescent cut creates a “negative Bounce” angle, which reduces the danger of a skulled shot on a tight lie. At the same time, when you open the face, teh club offers increased bounce on sand shots.
The club also has full perimeter weighting to help keep off center shots steady.
It’s an interesting concept, and if it works, could free up a spot in your bag. I know plenty of players who carry an additional wedge just for those tight lies around the green that a sand wedge doesn’t really work for.

I purchased 2 Solus RD400 Wedges from an estate sale which the owner’s son said were used only one time and looked brand new. I love these wedges but the Winn Grips now have worn out where I place my thumbs on the grip after 3 weeks of play. Solus will not replace the grips for free and Winn no longer makes these grips. So be prepared to regrip.

I bought a 61 degree Solus Wedge three weeks ago.So far I am very pleased with its performance. It does everything Solus claims it will. It works for me in tight lies and sand traps and hasn’t “bottomed out” yet. No question its a keeper.

Love this wedges it surely replaced my vokeys in my bag. Like everyone already atest here this wedge is solid and does exactly what the company claims it’ll do. 51* and 56* (Gap and Sand) are the one that does it for my game , from the always miss around the green type of player to the now dead on, stick it for a tap in player I am now ... I highly recomend this wedges ! watch how your round buddies try spy peeking on what kind of wedge your using. funny !

The new Solus club I purchased recently had a golfpride DD2 grip so the grip should not be an issue in the future. It’s a great wedge. Very versatile.
