Tested: Bruce Sizemore ‘MORE’ Wedge

Bruce Sizemore offers up a hyper-adjustable wedge, but does it perform?

By: MyGolfSpy

Bruce Sizemore, most recently know for SuperStroke's putter line, is back with his latest creation, they hyper-adjustable MORE wedge. The MORE wedge is among the most unusual... hell, let's call it what it is, the most unusual design we've ever tested... and let's not forget we tested the PowerPod II.

While its distinct look will surely grab your attention, it's the wedges unmatched adjustment capabilities that really set it apart.

There's little doubt that the MORE wedge is the most adjustable, and I suppose most customizable wedge on the market today. To say there's nothing like it would be the understatement of the decade.

Here's a rundown of what makes the new Sizemore wedge inarguably unique.

MORE Wedge Features

Adjustable loft - Three distinct hosel adapters allow you to adjust loft from 47° to 61°. The Sizemore wedge's unique ball and socket adapter design allow allows face angle to remain constant even as loft is adjusted.

Adjustable Bounce - Primary bounce angles can be adjusted from 4° to 14° with both vertical and diagonal adjustments.

Interchangeable Sole Grinds - Swappable flanges will allow you to select a grind that works best for your swing and the current course conditions.

Interchangeable Faces - Replaceable faces ensure you can always have fresh grooves.

The multi-metal wedge is built from Stainless Steel, Aerospace Grade Aluminum, and a Copper-Tungsten Blend.

Sizemore vs. The Competition

Apart from adjustability, what does all this Sizemore technology get you? Bruce Sizemore is making some fairly bold claims about his new wedge.

Here's what he's saying his MORE wedge brings to the table.

The Most Spin - Bruce told us the MORE wedge can achieve upwards of 2000 RPM more spin that other wedges.
Higher Launch - For some this is desirable. Others may prefer a flatter, more-boring trajectory.
A Properly Centered CG - It's not unusual for wedge Center of Gravity locations to be a bit heel-centric. Bruce Sizemore claims the CG locations of his wedges are in the middle of the face.

How We tested

To determine if the Sizemore MORE wedge lives up to its billing, we hit a prototype of the wedge side by side against the following wedges:

• New Callaway Mack Daddy 2 (conforming grooves)
• New Titleist Vokey TVD (non-conforming grooves)
• Lightly Used Mizuno MP-10 (non-conforming grooves)

For each each tester we recorded 12 good, full-swing, shots with each wedge.

• The order wedges were hit was randomized, and grooves were cleaned after each 3 shot sequence.
• Testers hit Bridgstone B330RX Golf Balls and shots were recorded using Foresight Sports GC2 Launch Monitors.

The Data

Focusing on the areas where the most notable claims were made, we find that the Sizemore wedge was not far off the leader, and the peak trajectory was the highest. Spin was the lowest for the 4 wedges tested.

For those concerned with wedge distance, the MORE wedge produced the most head and ball speed, which translated into 3 yards of additional distance when compared to the next longest wedge.

For our second tester, the MORE wedge again failed to live up to its promise of higher spin. For this tester, launch was the lowest, while peak height was one of three that hit 27 yards.

The wedge was again the longest, producing an additional 3 yards of carry and 4 yards of total distance over the next longest.

Suffice it to say, while there's an argument to be made supporting higher launch, we most definitely didn't experience significantly higher spin.

Additional Observations

• During our test, a higher percentage of shots hit with Sizemore wedge started and finished right of target. We'd need to dig deeper, and look at things like face and lie angle to determine the root cause.
• When soled on turf, the Sizemore wedge has a tendency to roll open. We believe our testers may have altered their setups while trying to compensate.
• The design features a notch of sorts cut from the heel side of the club. The resulting lower edge from the cutaway has a tendency to catch on the turf as the club is being taken away.

Final Thoughts

For $400 we'd expect a wedge to show a clear performance advantage. That wasn't the case here, though we should note that we tested only a single shot type (full swing), and our sample still qualifies as a prototype. Final tweaks remain, and with some smoothing out of rough edges (both literal and figurative), the final version of the Sizemore MORE wedge will certainly get some additional looks and a more thorough test to determine if an abundance of adjustability is worth the abundance of extra money.
