CGS Orion Japan CGS Orion SPY-1 ProSpec Wedge

The first thing that caught my eye about the new SYP-1 ProSpec is its shape,  the neck transition is narrow and low,  the head is compact and the shape is outstanding.  Yes, these are for the better player but that doesn’t mean mid-high handicappers should not consider them.  It’s all about your eye,  your preferences and what performs best for the individual.

one interesting tidbit is CGS Orion is claiming this is made of S16C.  I don’t know where to go with this as it’s not a material sold by any foundry we know of in Japan.  So let’s figure it plays like S15C which is pretty soft.  Add to that a copperunder-layer+ satin finish its designed to be very soft.  These wedges are totally made in Japan.  The forging, mold, and plating all done in Hyogo while the polishing is done in Niigata.

It has no offset and the right amount of goose for the good player.  This was done to create the lowest groove and leading edge better alignment for the player.   Looking face on the heel section is straightened from the top blade and more narrow.
