Tommy Armour Over N' Out Wedge

The Over N' Out Wedge is the original version of Tommy Armour's escape club, and it's built on a graphite shaft, which is uncommon in the short game and the most telling thing about the design. A lighter build makes the head easier to keep moving through heavy sand and thick greenside rough, where momentum, not muscle, is what actually gets the ball onto the putting surface and stopped somewhere near you.

Premium black PVD covers the head. Dark plating earns its keep in a club like this, because you spend your time with it looking down at a face surrounded by bright white sand. The UTX grip handles damp hands. Golfers who want a marked loft to slot against the rest of their wedges should look at the 2019 sequel, which states its numbers; this one is chosen on shape and feel. Stay with the first version when graphite under the head is what you're after.
