The Most Versatile Short Game Club: tourMAX Wedge Review

Discover how the ultra-forgiving tourmax is revolutionizing wedge play for amateur golfers.

Whether it’s a bunker shot , bump and run , or a 60-yard shot, wedge shots have long plagued amateur golfers with shanks and chili dips.

Now a revolutionary new short game club promises to transform wedge play for everyday golfers. But what’s the reasoning behind its truly unique features? And does this breakthrough wedge actually delivers on its claims?

Let’s take a close look at the new tourMAX wedge short game club .

What is the tourMAX?

Like all other products released by VLS Golf , the tourMAX takes the unconventional approach of centering the amateur golfer’s game in its design.

Its innovative features are all created to smooth out and even eliminate the biggest obstacles everyday golfers face on wedge shots, including poor trajectory, poor distance control, chunk shots, and even the dreaded shanks.

Perhaps most remarkably, this single club was made to replace all your wedges. This requires a diversity of features that deliver optimal performance on a wide range of short game shots. It’s a tall order, for sure. Keep reading to find out how (and if ) the tourMAX pulls it off. 

Why is the tourMAX Necessary?

In a market already loaded with varying wedge models all claiming to be the best, why add yet another one? What does this club offer that other wedges don’t?

The biggest selling point for the tourMAX is its versatility. Because it was designed to dominate on a wide range of short game shots, it helps amateur golfers overcome their biggest setback when it comes to wedge play: limited experience with the club.

Because traditional wedges have extremely specialized functions, each one gets very little play in a regular round. This makes it difficult for the golfer to master any wedge. 

The tourMAX offers the opportunity reach true proficiency with a single club, ensuring more success with every short game shot.

Another major perk is the simple fact that—despite its tour-player profile—this wedge is specifically built to serve amateur golfers. Most traditional wedges cater first and foremost to a professional skill set.

Who Designed the tourMAX?

The tourMAX is the latest product from VLS Golf, the same makers of the senior- and amateur-friendly Maxvert driver , Maxvert hybrids , and G-Track putter .

Its design is a joint effort from multi-award-winning club designer Josh Boggs and major champion coach Todd Kolb.

A four-time Golf Digest Best in State Instructor with 30 years of experience, Kolb brings a wealth of insight regarding the biggest challenges amateur golfers face when it comes to wedge play.

Boggs combined this insight with his own vast knowledge of club design and swing mechanics to engineer a club that would address these obstacles.

The results are honestly pretty fascinating.

Standout Features of the tourMAX

The most notable features of the tourMAX reflect the designer’s key objectives of versatility and maximum forgiveness. In fact, these components are so unique and innovative, you might imagine a club that stands out in the bag as a novelty item.

In fact, Boggs ensured that the tourMAX maintains the look, shape, and profile of a tour player’s wedge. It’s an amateur-friendly short-game club that manages to look and feel like a professional’s secret weapon.

Here are a few features you’re going to want to know about: 

Align Grind Sole for Maximum Forgiveness

This is one of the key components to Boggs’ anti-chunk design. Instead of the sharp leading edge that characterizes traditional wedges, the tourMAX boasts a flat leading edge and a ground-hugging sole. This is known as the “Align Grind Sole.”

If you, like most casual players, struggle with hitting behind the ball on wedge shots , you’ll find this sole more forgiving. Instead of digging into the turf, expect crisp contact and a nice divot even on ground-first contact.

As for bunker shots and tight lies, don’t worry. The sole is rounded at the back for reliable bounce when it’s needed.

Thinner Reactive Face for More Compression

Odds are, the wedge that’s currently in your bag has thick steel on the lower end of the clubface. This means you’re going to lose energy on a lower strike.

The tourMAX has a thinner reactive face compared to the traditional forged wedges. This difference ensures more compression on lower and leading-edge impacts.

Or, to put it another way, it means better ball speed and distance, even when you don’t hit it dead center.

Coarse Spin Zone Face Texture for More Spin

The tourMAX’s super coarse Spin Zone face texture ensures more ball spin. This translates to more height and more control over your trajectory on those tricky shots around the green.

The face itself is also slightly larger than that of a typical wedge. You have plenty of room to nail the sweet spot without getting dangerously close to the heel.

Perimeter Payload Weighting for a Face-centered Sweet Spot

Traditional wedges focus the center of gravity in the heel, making the line between the sweet spot and a potential shank razor-thin.

The tourMAX features Perimeter Payload Weighting, with extra steel in the toe, effectively face-centering the sweet spot.

This weighting has the added benefit of preventing open rotation—an extremely common error among amateur golfers.

Target Line Finder for Accurate Aim

Wedges are notoriously difficult to aim. The curved leading edge makes it tough to judge the orientation of the clubface.

Not only does the tourMAX’s Align Grind Sole feature a straight leading edge for a clearer visual, it’s also built with a Target Line Finder. A vivid red line at the base of the clubface helps you “see” your target line with greater clarity and line up your shot like a pro.

More Vertical Lie Angle for a Naturally Better Swing Motion

This is a key feature most golfers are likely to miss if they don’t know to look for it.

Most amateur golfers have a bad habit of standing too far from the ball when they set up their wedge shots. This causes them to swing the club around their body, just about guaranteeing a chunk, shank, or skulled shot.

The tourMAX boasts a slightly more vertical lie angle than typical wedges, forcing you to stand closer. This promotes a more straight-back-and-straight-through motion, which ensures centered, ball-first contact. 

It’s a natural fix you don’t even have to think about.

Adaptive Flex Graphite Shaft That Conforms to Your Swing Speed

Kolb likes to say that the shaft is the engine of the golf club. Oddly, most wedges are powered by heavy, rigid shafts that interfere with your touch and feel…

…never mind the fact that even tour professionals prefer a soft wedge.

The tourMAX comes with a lighter graphite shaft and an Adaptive Flex. That means it conforms to your swing speed as well as the type of shot you’re hitting.

It’s better for your rhythm, better for touch and feel, and even easier on your body.

Performance Testing the New tourMAX Wedge

That all sounds pretty good on paper, right? But how well does the tourMAX actually perform? Does it do what it claims to do?

We did our own test run and put it in the hands of a few everyday golfers. Below is a summary, as well as some feedback from golfers who got to take the tourMAX out for a test drive:

“My iron game is good enough for me to score in the 70s and 80s, but something happened overnight and I couldn’t chip at all without the ‘shank’. Using the TOURMAX Wedge cured me within an hour.”   Moe A – 51   (12 HDCP)

“I am a 17 handicap player. A couple of problems I have with wedge play are chunking the ball, pulling it left when I make decent contact and shanking the ball. The tourMAX has changed my pitch game completely!! Thank you!!” Brian J – 72 (17 HDCP)

“ My hands had crept too far forward and really struggled with shanks and bunker shots. With the upright lie and alignment features on the TOURMAX Wedge, my bunker shots have become way more consistent and shanks are a thing of the past.” John W – 62   (21 HDCP)

First, we can confirm that this club does indeed look like a tour player’s club. Holding and swinging it also feels much more natural than any wedge we’ve used in the past.

We immediately noticed the easy rhythm of the Adaptive Flex shaft. We could feel the stability of the Perimeter Payload Weighting on the first swing. And everyone saw more accurate, controlled shots without making any changes to their typical swing technique. 

We also tested the tourMAX on a wide range of short game shots. From full swings to bunker shots, this club gave all our wedges a run for their money.

On that note…

How Much Does the tourMAX Cost?

For what you get with the tourMAX, the price is shockingly affordable . Retailing for only $119, this club is a steal—especially when you consider that it can do the work of multiple wedges.

If you’re already familiar with VLS Golf, you’re likely wondering if the famous 60-day money-back guarantee applies to the tourMAX, too. 

For those who aren’t already in the know, that’s a real guarantee. The club doesn’t have to be in pristine condition in order for you to claim your refund. You can test it out as much as you want and if it fails to meet your expectations, VLS will take it back, scratches, scuffs, and all.

Bottom Line: Is the tourMAX Worth It?

As far as we’re concerned, the tourMAX is a no-brainer for amateur golfers.

Not only does this ultra-forgiving club make every short game shot instantly easier, but it also simplifies your short game and gives you enough play with a single wedge to truly master it.

The price is a huge win, too. It’s hard to find a decent wedge at that price point, let alone a single club that can do the job of all your wedges.

Throw in the zero-fuss money-back guarantee, and you really can’t lose.

What Do The Best Wedge Players On The PGA Tour Use?

H aving a good short game is imperative to scoring well on the course. Whether that’s getting up-and-down to make birdie on a par 5 or to keep momentum going by making par after a missed green in regulation. The ability to chip and pitch the ball close regularly takes a lot of pressure off a golfer's long game, in particular their iron play, so it’s interesting to see which of the best golfers in the world are best at knocking the ball close after a blunder with their approach shot.

Much like with some of the best golf drivers on the market, there are plenty of different models of wedge on the market, some are more forgiving wedges and some boast all round performance and are considered some of the best wedges money can buy. There is no right or wrong when it comes to which wedges you should be using. Each player will use different lofts in order to ensure the gapping throughout their bag is correct and different bounce and grind options will be used based on each player's specific technique and angle of attack .

While the best players in the world are provided with their equipment free of charge and can request fresh wedges whenever they please, judging what levels of spin, release and grinds they want for a specific tournament are all part of the puzzle in trying to win the event that week. Some golfers will opt for fresh grooves and more spin when playing on firmer greens, while others may play more worn-in grooves on softer greens to stop the ball over-spinning when landing.

As we enter into the first week of the FedEx Cup Playoffs , we have broken down which models each of the best wedge players on the PGA Tour use, based on Strokes Gained around the greens. This statistic is measured by taking the number of strokes taken by players in specific locations, in comparison to a statistical baseline. The fewer shots taken results in a higher Strokes Gained number and vice-versa. While some of the names on the list are known for their ball-striking prowess, their consistency and ability to knock it close when missing a green may surprise you.

1.  Hideki Matsuyama

The Japanese sensation has had what feels like a fairly quiet year by his standards despite sitting 8th on the FedEx Cup standings heading into the first event in the Playoffs . Despite winning just once at The Genesis Invitational, the former Masters champion has quietly gone about his business racking up 5 top 10 finishes and 9 top 25s, as well as an Olympic Bronze medal , in what has been a really solid season.

While Matsuyama is known for his ball striking, not enough is said about his ability to chip and pitch the ball close. He leads the PGA Tour in Strokes Gained around the greens, making up nearly a full shot on the field thanks to his greenside touch. Matsuyama uses Cleveland RTX 4 Prototype wedges in lofts of 52° (10° bounce), 56° (8° bounce) and a 60° (8° bounce). While the world number 12 is known to tinker a decent amount with his putter setup, the RTX 4 wedges he plays were initially released in 2018, although we’re sure he’s probably had a few new sets of the same heads in the bag over the years. 

2.  Davis Thompson

The young American only turned professional in 2021 after attending the University of Georgia. He has put his stellar short-game to good use this year on tour, claiming victory at the John Deere Classic and ranking 24th in the FedEx Cup heading into the first Playoff event in Memphis, Tennessee. The former Georgia Bulldog has a mixed range of brands in his bag, sporting both Titleist , Ping and an Odyssey White Hot OG #7 putter . It’s a range of Titleist Vokey wedges Thompson trusts to help him get up-and-down.

While he uses a Vokey SM10 46° and 50° in an F grind (made for full shots), Thompson uses a Vokey Wedgeworks (Titleist's custom wedge program) 54° M grind (8° bounce) and 60° T grind (4° bounce). The American follows a popular trend of lowering the bounce on each wedge as the wedge gets more lofted. This, combined with softer Dynamic Gold S400 shafts in the 54° and 60° help provide more feel and versatility compared to the Dynamic Gold X100 shafts he plays in the pitching wedge and gap wedge. 

3.  Harry Hall

The Cornish native may not be the most well-known Englishman on the PGA Tour but his short game is certainly worthy of some attention. In fact it was Hall’s short game that saw him across the line as he chipped in on the 3rd sudden-death playoff hole to win the ISCO Championship earlier this season. Despite winning on the PGA Tour this year, the former UNLV Rebel finished the regular season 87th on the FedEx Cup and therefore won’t participate in the Playoffs.

Hall is a Callaway contracted player and currently uses the Callaway Jaws MD5 wedges in 46°, 50° and 54°, while using a Jaws Raw in the 60°. Callaway has recently launched its Opus and Opus Platinum wedges and we wouldn’t be surprised to see Hall make the switch to these during the off-season. 

4.  C.T. Pan

Despite a short game that places him number 4 on this list, C.T. Pan didn’t have the season he would have hoped for. There were glimpses of form, notably at the Mexico Open where he finished 4th and at the John Deere Classic where he finished T-2nd.

The Chinese Taipei born golfer has a really unique set of Titleist Vokey SM10 wedges in the bag where he plays a 46° and 52° (both F grind) and then uses a 59° Vokey Wedgeworks - Vokey wedges that start as tour-only custom wedges and then sometimes become available on the Titleist website. Pan is then one of the few golfers who use a 64° lob wedge with a custom grind. He has all of his wedges fitted with custom PVD purple Dynamic Gold S400 shafts and paint filled in purple to represent his alma mater - the University of Washington. 

5.  Mackenzie Hughes

Mackenzie Hughes is widely known as one of the best putters on the PGA Tour but it’s not just his putting that has seen himself bag 3 top-10 finishes this season. Sitting at 48th in the FedEx Cup, Hughes massively relies on his short game to propel himself up the leaderboards.

The Canadian uses a set of Ping S159 wedges in a stealthed out ‘midnight’ finish when chipping and pitching around the greens. Hughes is just the second player in the top 5 of this list who uses a pitching wedge that’s part of his iron set and not a 46° specialist wedge. His three S159 wedge makeup is 52°, 56° and a 62° lob wedge. Where a lot of golfers will use stronger shafts in their gap wedges, Hughes keeps Dynamic Gold S400 shafts in all three of his Ping wedges, albeit the 62° is made with a marginally heavier D5 swingweight, compared to the 52° and 56° set at D4. Hughes will hope to have a strong Playoff campaign and secure his place on the Presidents Cup team. 

6.  Justin Thomas

The 31 year old American struggled to find form last year but has fought back during the 2024 season and currently finds himself 19th on the FedEx Cup. While Thomas can be a little wild off the tee at times, his wedge play is often spectacular and he is undoubtedly one of the more creative players around the greens.

Thomas uses 46°, 52°, 56° and 60° Titleist Vokey SM10 wedges that are actually bent to play at 47.5°, 52.5°, 57° and 60.5°. Players will adjust lofts so their gapping between clubs is equal or they can make comfortable swings to hit certain yardages. While his approach play and Strokes Gained around the greens are all positive, it will be on the greens where Thomas will look to sharpen up throughout the playoffs, as he currently sits 154th on Strokes Gained putting. 

7.  Alex Noren

Alex Noren has been quietly building a solid season for himself on the PGA Tour. The Swede ranks 7th for Strokes Gained around the greens and videos can often be found on social media of the former Ryder Cup player showing his touch around the greens, hitting spectacular flop shots from tight lies.

Like Harry Hall, Noren is a Callaway staff player and was last reported using Callaway Jaws wedges in lofts of 46°, 50°, 56° and 60°. His pitching wedge and gap wedge both have 10° of bounce whereas his sand wedge and lob wedge have just 8°. With Callaway releasing the new Opus wedge lineup in recent weeks, it’s expected that Noren will transition into the new Opus wedges at the end of the season, where he can precisely dial them in before starting his bid for a place on the Ryder Cup team during the 2025 PGA Tour season. 

8.  Maverick McNealy

Maverick McNealy is just another one of the top wedge players in the game who chooses to use Titleist Vokey SM10 wedges, McNealy uses the F grind in both his 46° and 50° wedges with 10° of bounce in the former and 8° in the latter. He plays the M grind in his 54° which is designed to open and close the face to manufacture shots around the greens.The American then uses a Vokey Design Wedgeworks 58° lob wedge in the L grind, which is 4° of bounce and is ideal for those with shallow chipping and pitching motions or for those who play on firm playing surfaces.

His wedges are loaded with lead tape on the back which is normally used in order to get the club to meet a specific swing weight. With 4 top-10 finishes on the PGA Tour this season, McNealy finished the regular season at 59th on the FedEx cup standings and will need a solid week at the first Playoff event in order to break into the top 50 and progress to the second week. 

9.   Scottie Scheffler

The current world number one is having the season of his life having already amassed 6 wins and 14 top-10 finishes is 2024. While the 28-year-old American is known for his fancy footwork and elite ball striking, not enough is said about his ability to chip and pitch the ball close from around the greens. He sits number 9 on Strokes Gained around the greens and the fact Scheffler uses three generation old wedges, perfectly demonstrates the saying ‘if it isn’t broke, don’t try and fix it’.

The Texas native uses his set TaylorMade P7TW pitching wedge and then moves into two 50° and 56° Titleist Vokey SM8 wedges . Scheffler uses a 14° bounce F grind in his 56°, which is very much considered a high bounce wedge . Scheffler typically uses a 60° Wedgeworks proto K grind in softer conditions and has a 60.5 T grind for when the ground is a little firmer and less bounce is required. 

10.  Collin Morikawa

Rounding out the top 10 on the PGA Tour for Strokes Gained around the greens is Collin Morikawa . The American hasn’t picked up a win this year but has displayed incredible consistency over the course of the season and picked up top-5 finishes at The Masters, The Memorial Tournament and the Scottish Open. 

Despite making a noticeable switch into the TaylorMade P7CB irons at the Scottish Open, Morikawa has remained consistent with his wedge setup. The two-time major champion uses a 50° and 56° TaylorMade MG4 with the 56° in a low bounce option. Morikawa then uses the TW grind MG4 in his 60° wedge, which is a grind first designed for Tiger Woods. This grind offers ample heel and toe relief for shot making and has 11° of bounce.

2024 BMW Championship odds, predictions, field: Xander Schauffele, Rory McIlroy picks by proven golf model

Sportsline's model revealed its 2024 bmw championship predictions for rory mcilroy, xander schauffele and the rest of the field at castle pines golf club in colorado as the fedex cup playoffs continue.

Hideki Matsuyama was able to fend off a crowded leaderboard in Memphis last weekend to open the FedEx Cup Playoffs, which continues this week with the 2024 BMW Championship. Matsuyama was a 30-1 longshot last week, but his price has been shortened to 18-1 in the 2024 BMW Championship odds. He is still sitting well behind World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, who is the +320 favorite on the PGA odds board. Xander Schauffele (+650), Rory McIlroy (+1000) and Collin Morikawa (+1200) are among the other BMW Championship contenders.

Scheffler won the gold medal in Paris and finished fourth last week to continue his impressive season. Given his short odds for this week's tournament at Castle Pines, how should you approach Scheffler with your 2024 BMW Championship bets? Before locking in your 2024 BMW Championship picks or PGA props, be sure to  see the golf predictions and projected leaderboard from the proven computer model at SportsLine .

Our proprietary model, built by DFS pro Mike McClure, has been red-hot since the PGA Tour resumed in June 2020. In fact, the model is up more than $9,500 on its best bets since the restart, nailing tournament after tournament.

This same model has also nailed a whopping 13 majors entering the weekend, including the 2024 Masters -- its third Masters in a row -- and this year's PGA Championship and U.S. Open. Anyone who has followed it has seen massive returns. 

Now with the BMW Championship 2024 field set, SportsLine simulated the tournament 10,000 times, and the results were surprising.  Head to SportsLine now to see the projected leaderboard.

Top 2024 BMW Championship golf predictions 

One surprise: McIlroy, a four-time major champion and one of the top favorites, does not crack the top five this week. McIlroy is coming off a rough week in Memphis, closing with rounds of 73, 74 and 74 over the final three days. He finished second to last overall of the golfers who made the cut for the weekend, and it was statistically the second-worst week of his career in driving.

McIlroy also had his third-worst week of putting in terms of strokes gained, so he is not in good form heading into the second event of the playoffs. He has gone more than a decade since his last major victory, bogeying three of his final four holes at the U.S. Open earlier this season. McIlroy proceeded to fall just short of a medal at the Olympics, so the model cannot trust him to meet expectations this week. 

The model has also examined where Schauffele finishes. Schauffele nearly completed one of the largest comebacks in PGA Tour history at the FedEx St. Jude Championship, entering the clubhouse with a share of the lead on Sunday after starting the day nine shots behind the leader. Hideki Matsuyama ultimately came up with some winning shots on the final few holes, but Schauffele maintained the momentum he had been playing with all season.

The World No. 2 picked up his first career major victory at the PGA Championship in May before adding a win at the Open Championship last month. He has made the cut in all 19 events he has played in, posting 13 top-10 finishes. However, he has some of the shortest odds in the field, so there could be other golfers who have more value.  The model just locked in its Xander Schauffele BMW Championship picks here .

How to make 2024 BMW Championship picks

The model has revealed where Rory McIlroy and Xander Schauffele finish, along with identifying three golfers with odds of 30-1 or longer to make a strong run at the title. Anyone who backs these longshots could hit it big.  You can only see the model's picks here .  

Who will win the 2024 BMW Championship, and which longshots will stun the golfing world? Check out the BMW Championship 2024 odds below and then visit SportsLine to see the projected BMW Championship leaderboard, all from the model that's nailed 13 golf majors, including the last three Masters, the PGA Championship and the U.S. Open .
