Update 8/17 - New board going live today.
Update 8/14 - ***Migration work continues. Estimate Go Live to new board 8/17***
Last year, in an effort to improve the capability of our forums, we switched to new software. We expected tremendous scalability and rapid customization that would significantly improve each Member's experience across multiple devices and integrate flawlessly with social media platforms.
Unfortunately, after a significant capital expense, we have decided that the length of time and the additional cost to reach our goals make this enterprise untenable.
Thus, we have made the difficult decision to transition the forums to our original software platform. We’re excited that, in the nearly two years since we began the process of our most recent switch, our original platform has been upgraded significantly, and we are confident that the reversion will not only provide the stability that we desperately needed prior to our last move but will also return to the Membership the high level of customization that made our online community so great. We have also added technical resources to the GolfWRX staff that will allow us to build custom modules and modifications that we are confident will take the forums to the next level.
We remain the world's largest online golf community, and we still hold true to our core values and mission statement as written in 2005. Bearing both of those elements in mind, being the best and offering our Members a platform that is world-class are both requirements, not options, and it is that spirit that has motivated this decision.
So, please pardon our mess over the next five days or so while we transition the forums.
A few important notes: Current content will be accessible during that time, but the forums will be READ ONLY, and you will not be able to start new threads or reply to posts. Personal Messaging is enabled but PMs sent/received from the time the board was frozen will not carry over. We know this is inconvenient, and we apologize, and we greatly appreciate GolfWRXers bearing with us through the transition.
We are very excited about starting this next chapter for GolfWRX and getting back to the high-quality Member experience we all expect as soon as possible.

I think Oregon is their HQ for retail, and TN is for their Tour Dept. That is what I took from Ari's posts. All the hand grinding by Jeff, etc will take place there.

I received my two custom wedges last Tuesday and after playing with them over the weekend I have nothing but great things to say about the clubs and I wish I had ordered a third. But here is why I wont be placing that order any time soon-<br />
<br />
Those wedges I received on July 14th were from an order I placed and paid for on February 10th. That's right, it took 5 months for them to send me a 56 and 60 degree wedge. In mid March I emailed them a couple of times and never got a reply. Finally I got them on the phone and they were very apologetic and said the order must have been lost and would get them to me right away (pretty understandable, lost orders can happen at any company). <br />
The wedges come over a month later in May and they arent even the right wedges. I call Paul at Scratch, again he's very sorry, saying to just send the wrong ones back and he'll get me the right ones right away. On June 12th (again a month later) he tells me the correct wedges are going out either that day or the following Monday. About three weeks after that I still havent received the wedges and I email him to see what the story is. I never got a reply but a week later I got the wedges.<br />
<br />
The whole experience has obviously left a very bad taste in my mouth. When you're paying $600 for two wedges you expect a higher level of customer service and a quicker delievery. The fact that I have read of similar problems from other people on this site and others really makes me wonder about the future of Scratch, which is a real shame because they do seem like good guys and have a great product. They need to learn that as a business saying sorry and then not following through is no apology at all. <br />
<br />
I would suggest they add an additional counter to their site along with their count of how many wedges they have on various tours- An average time to fill an order. No matter how good the reviews are or how many people on tour play their wedges, Scratch will live or die based on their ability to keep their paying customers happy. On that they need to do some real work.

I've always gotten quick personal responses to any emails, and any phone calls to them have been great. If they weren't able to get my info immediately they called me back very quickly. <br />
<br />
The wedges are great and my experience with the guys at Scratch has been very good

Only problem was that they didn't cut the shafts to the proper length. Just installed them and put the grips on. So I had to cut the shafts and install new grips. After seeing/feeling the Pure grips I would have regripped them anyway.<br />
I take the blame for the mess up on the shaft cutting. Me hurrying them too much. <br />
But I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone, already have to a couple of people. <br />
Now I'm considering ordering a 50* but an 8620.<br />
<br />
I'll be a Scratch wedge player for a long time!!!

The wedge felt great at the range.... it was "just right" in heaviness and controllability on both full and partial shots. Though I tested Titleist Vokey SM4s and Cleveland 588s, the Scratch's just felt better to me when I hit them, and my 58* wedge on the range was just great. So I decided to go ahead and get a replacement for my beloved old Cleveland Tour 900 52* wedge...<br />
<br />
I sent an inquiry through the Scratch website about whether it was better to bend a 53 to a 52 degree wedge, or bend the 50 to the 52. The VP emailed back with an answer (he suggested 53 to 52) and also some information on the choices, such as the ferrule colors and stamping, etc. I ordered a 53 degree wedge to my specs plus I asked it be bent 1* strong to 52*. When the wedge came, again after only a short wait, it looked very good; however, as I compared it to my other 52* wedges, it looked relatively a bit weak in the loft and I was wondering if they bent it strong enough. I also thought it wasn't as long as I'd hoped. Scratch got the length on the 58* dead solid perfect. The 52 (so I shall call it henceforth) is barely half an inch longer than my Scratch 58, and it's not as long as my other 52* wedges. Granted, I lengthened those other wedges myself and they may be a bit long, but the 52 definitely is not as long as I'd hoped.<br />
<br />
Yesterday (7 August) I got the chance to play the wedges, playing on a par-3 course with a couple of friends. A par-3 course gives an excellent opportunity to use wedges a lot. The 58 performed brilliantly. My two fellow players oohed and ahhed at several shots that stuck within three feet of the hole (and folks, i am not claiming to be Phil Mickelson in my wedge play abilities!). The 58 felt very "natural" to swing, and I adapted to it very easily with good results. I'm sure I'll get even better with it as I play and practice more with it.<br />
<br />
The 52 wedge did fairly well, but it was a few yards short on my full shots, which suggest that indeed it did not get bent as strongly as it needed to be. I also will have to add at least half an inch and probably a full inch of extra length to get it "just right" at the grip level. It does feel like it is at the correct lie for my height and posture (as the 58 is perfectly so), and that's the most important thing.<br />
<br />
All in all, I felt really good with the Scratch wedges, especially that 58* gem. I'll work on the 52 to get it "just right" and just where I want it to be. Here's a couple of pics:<br />

Thanks for that info, and you're absolutely right... In this case I (eyeball) compared to two different 52* wedges, one of which i didnt play very much, and the Scratch looked a bit weaker than either... I'll have it checked out; in the meantime, after I add a bit to the length and re-grip it, it'll be perfectly good for use...

Furthermore, when I make full swings, I often catch the toe first, creating a hard shank to the right. There are two things that can and do cause that: 1)the shaft is not long enough, so I unconsciously/instinctively "reach" down for the ball, and the toe catches first, and 2) I'm swinging as if I expect the upright lie... and that upright lie is not there. When I consciously tilt my shaft down and swing more like a baseball bat... I get better contact and less shank with the club.<br />
<br />
I got that 52 wedge very very fast, and I'm thinking one reason for it is that they did not bother to make the changes that I asked for. The 58 was made "just right" per my specs, so I don't know which is the abberation. But it is a disappointment that I'm now going to have to pay to get extra work done to make my 52 wedge right...
