For me the brushed steel finish stole the show, but the jet black is also impressive, although having to wear reading glasses now I would find it hard to read the loft numbers on the toe of the club without getting my glasses out to do so.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">I have said this many times, for amateur golfers you need at least three wedges in your bag, apart from your putter, wedges are the most used club and being able to control your distances from 120-yards and in, will help your scoring no end. I recommend you have a chat with your club pro and find out what the best set up for your game would be and then make sure the Titliest SM7s are on your testing list.
