Free video below reveals how the all-new C3i Wedge is specifically designed for amateur and recreational golfers to deliver an ultra-forgiving, “never-fear-the-sand-again” experience. No digging. No blading. Legal for tournament play.
Do you struggle to get the ball out and close to the hole from the sand? Do you sometimes leave shots in the bunker? Or occasionally blade them out but over the green?
Whether you have a high or low handicap, if you’re inconsistent from the bunker or rough, or even the fairway when you’re 50 yards and in, you can say goodbye to a frustrating short game and say hello to lower scores today.
Keep reading because you’re about to discover…
Perhaps as soon as your very next round... and without tons of practice. You’ll not only get the ball onto the green, you’ll get it close to the hole…
… From any lie in the rough or sand…
… Leading to less frustration…
… And fewer strokes.
You’ll finally escape bunkers in one shot, consistently.
You'll conquer tight lies and thick rough with ease. You’ll even hit high, soft flop shots almost automatically. And you’ll no longer sing the amateur golfer’s lament… “If I only played better around the greens, I’d shoot a lot lower scores…”
It’s a familiar refrain. Players of all handicaps – from low single-digits on up – give away strokes within 50 yards of the flag. Lots and lots of strokes.
Not only has the C3i Wedge received rave reviews from the golfers who have tried it, but it has caught the attention of several prominent golf publications as well. The C3i was highlighted in Golf Digest’s August 2017 article “Five Wedges to Help You Hit Better Sand Shots” and chosen as a standout in MyGolfSpy’s comparison of specialty wedges, even beating out their traditional wedge for percentage of shots left in the bunker and proximity to the hole.
MYGOLFSPY | December 12, 2017
“Because I don’t have enough time to practice,” you may be thinking. Yep, that’s one reason... “Because on sand shots and pitches, I have to set up and swing differently than I do for normal shots. It’s tricky.” That’s another one... “Because my swing is too steep, causing fat shots and inconsistency.”
Man, I am impressed. You definitely know your game. But you’re missing the common thread tying all these problems together:
You're using wedges that weren't designed for YOU.
Traditional wedges, like the ones in your bag, require tons of practice to master. They force you to open your stance and clubface to play basic shots. They feature narrow soles that dig sharply into the turf, and offer very little forgiveness on miss-hits. On the plus side, they look great in your bag. They sound and feel amazing, too. When you happen to hit them perfectly flush, that is.
Want to know why that’s so hard?
Simple: Traditional wedges are designed for pros.
And for all the innovations you’ve seen in drivers, irons, hybrids and putters…
Sand wedge technology has been ignored for more than 80 years.
From leading edge to trailing edge, the sole on a typical sand wedge measures about 1 inch.
Sounds like plenty, doesn’t it?
It is – if you’re a pro. In that case, your approach angle to the ball is shallow enough not to dig into the sand or turf. Assuming you’re an amateur, your swing is probably much steeper – and the narrow sole does you no favors. When your wedge hits the sand on a sharp angle, it digs straight in with little to no resistance. The same thing happens when you catch the turf behind the ball.
The results: bunker shots left in the sand, chips and pitches chunked short of the green.
In other words, wasted strokes.
Most sand wedges feature 56° of loft, give or take a degree. That’s fine, as long as you’ve got little or no lip to clear and plenty of green to work with. But we all know that’s the exception, not the rule. Usually, you’ve got to get the ball up and over a lip at least 2 feet high – sometimes a lot more – and stop it quickly to have any chance at a one-putt.
With a 56° wedge, that means opening the clubface to increase the loft. You’ve also got to open your stance and swing across the target line to further boost the effective loft and keep the ball from veering way right. Whew. Talk about tough.
It’s even harder to hit a lob or flop shot with a traditional sand wedge, because opening the face does three things – all bad:
True, there are a few alternatives to conventional models. But they look odd at setup, they’re not very versatile and they feel clunky on contact.
In that no-man’s-land we call “wedge limbo.” Waiting and hoping for someone, somewhere, to devise a wedge that makes the short game easier for amateur golfers…
… Yet still offers playability and pure feel.
Well, I’ve got some exciting news: The long, painful wait is over!
You heard it here first. Finally – FINALLY! – there’s a wedge that fills the void.
I know, it may not sound like a revolutionary concept. That’s the basic point of the game, right? Indeed, it is. Which is one reason traditional wedges fail the average golfer.
Remember those defects I spelled out above? And how with a traditional wedge, you have to alter your stance, setup and swing to play most shots?
Enter the C3i Wedge.
It’s got plenty of loft (65°) to handle any bunker or flop shot without the need to open your stance or the clubface. And with 12° of bounce, it’s perfect for practically any kind of sand – from firm to fluffy.
All you do is set up square and swing.
If you think that’s good, well, I’m just getting started. On we go.

AutoGlide Xtreme Sole – 2” wide (vs. traditional 1” sole) |
Literally glides across turf and through sand, all but eliminating fat chips and flubbed bunker shots |
Hosel/heel section shaped to minimize material collecting in “pocket” |
Wedge cuts cleanly through sand or turf, whether clubface is square or open, for maximum backspin and accuracy |
Extra curvature and beveling across leading edge |
Smoother interaction with turf means less snagging and digging, providing consistently clean contact |
Heel portion of sole shaved down for more “relief” |
Allows opening of clubface without adding bounce and raising leading edge off ground |
Bounce (12°) placed closer to trailing edge |
Club is highly effective from firm lies, less prone to blading |
More camber from front to back of sole |
C3i slides smoothly over turf and into sand |
COG located up and back within the clubhead |
Extra backspin from all types of lies, no matter where the ball strikes the clubface |
The C3i is one cool wedge, don’t you think? Of course, looks are not this club’s defining quality. That may just be its unprecedented versatility.
The C3i gives middle to high handicappers the help they need while providing single-digits the shotmaking capabilities they demand.
I’m not just saying that because it sounds good. The C3i’s stroke-saving performance is backed by scientific data and real user testing.
Not just any robot, mind you, but a robot named LDRIC (pronounced “Eldrick” – like a certain 14-time major champion). This amazing machine works for Golf Laboratories, the most respected independent equipment testing company in golf.
Unlike you and me, LDRIC swings exactly as programmed, every single time, no matter what clubs you put in his shiny metal hands.
On this day, those clubs were the C3i and two of the best-known, top-selling traditional wedges on the market.
Can you say David vs. Goliath?
Well, guess what?
Check out the results below.
Test | C3i Wedge Results | Traditional Wedge Results* | Summary |
---|---|---|---|
Sand shot (impact 2” behind ball) |
Distance: 32.2 yds Max height: 19.6 yds Spin rate: 5,234 RPM |
Distance: 17.8 yds Max height: 12.4 yds Spin rate: 3,367 RPM |
The C3i slipped through the sand so cleanly, its shots carried 14.4 yards farther on average, than those hit with the other wedges. Amazingly, the C3i also generated 55% more spin while carrying 21.6 feet higher than its competitors. That’s superior stopping power. |
Fat shot off turf (impact 2” behind ball) |
Distance: 27.1 yds | Distance: 19.6 yds | The C3i’s shots traveled 7.5 yards farther and closer to the hole, on average, than the other wedges’ shots. That’s 39% more consistent, on-the-green distance on fat shots with the C3i… the difference between putting for par and praying for bogey. |
*Average of two tested clubs.
The robot testing was exciting, to say the least. But before putting the C3i on the market, we also wanted to find out exactly how it performed for everyday golfers.
So, we gathered two groups of players at separate Arizona locations—one at beautiful Wickenburg Ranch Golf and Social Club, another at the splendid Verrado GC near Phoenix—and asked them to play specific shots – from deep bunkers, skinny lies, divots and everything in between – first with their own wedges, then with the C3i.
You can read more about their individual experiences below, but here’s the gist...
“All you need to do is set up square and hit it. It’s that easy.”
The Test: 40-yard pitch from good lies and divots
“The C3i did exactly what I was hoping for it to do. I was able to eliminate the thought of hitting it thick, eliminate the thought of hitting it thin and running it way past the green where I have to bear another nightmare chip coming back.”
“The C3i gave me confidence just to walk up, line it up and hit the ball. It gave me 100% confidence.”
-Mark Markham (8 handicap)
“It makes you feel almost like a pro.”
The Test: Flop shot across a bunker to a green sloping away
“This C3i is great for your short game, for your flop shots, and it's just the confidence and the consistency that you get from hitting it. And all you’ve got to do is hit it a few times, and it just keeps getting better.”
“I'm pretty much of a skeptic when it comes to technology, so I'm convinced that this is well worth it.”
-Mac Engh (17 handicap)
“I believe that this club potentially can take five or six strokes off my game”
The Test: Bunker shot with little green to work with and the green sloping away
“I sincerely believe that this club is the real deal. I simply got into the trap after hitting my own wedge, hit (the C3i) four or five times and never left it in the bunker. And it just got progressively better.”
“When I look at it from the front, it just looks like a traditional golf club. I just felt very comfortable with it. I've never hit any club – from a putter to a driver – that I could see the immediate differences in as I did in this club.”
-Bob Shaw (12 handicap)
“Literally effortless. It just glides through the sand and the ball pops out.”
The Test: Bunker shot with the green sloping away
“With a regular wedge, maybe 30 percent I might leave in a bunker. With this (C3i), you could actually start thinking about getting close, because you have the confidence that it’s going to come out. Now you can start really working on just getting your distance down.”
“I hit maybe a dozen shots (with the C3i) and what struck me was that not one of them stayed in the bunker – they all came out. All on the green and I was putting. That's what I want.”
-Jim Richardsons (17 handicap)
“The C3i makes me feel more confident in the bunker.”
The Test: Long bunker shot with green sloping away
“My first three shots with the C3i, as I came through the ball, I knew I had hit the ball too hard. But when I looked up to see the ball land, how it stuck near the flag, I was amazed that the club put that much backspin on the ball.”
“With the C3i, after hitting those three shots, I knew right then that I was gonna be able to shave four to five strokes off my game.”
-James Chestnut (12 handicap)
“It goes right toward the pin every time.”
The Test: Long bunker shot with green sloping away
“I struggle a lot coming out of the bunkers. That’s probably the weakest part of my game. I’m just totally inconsistent with my traditional wedge.
“With the C3i Wedge, when I set it down it made me feel very comfortable because I could square up to the target right away. I didn’t have to worry about swinging left or swinging right or swinging across the ball, I could swing straight through the ball.”
-Denny Galvin (12 handicap)
If you’re already convinced, like I am, the C3i Wedge is…
Then I want to get one in your hands ASAP. All you’ve got do is:
I get it. And I’m happy to address your concerns.
Let me ask you a few questions:
If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, then you answered “yes” to the C3i. (Feel free to skip to the order section.)
The point is, the same technique that doesn’t work with your traditional wedge will produce much better results with the C3i. The AutoGlide Xtreme Sole doesn’t demand perfect ball-club-turf contact to get the job done – and you don’t have to worry about opening your stance or clubface to hit a sand or flop shot.
Short answer: Anywhere you can find space (while complying with the 14-club rule, of course).
If you carry a lob wedge, you’ll want to replace it with the 65° C3i. As you’ve seen, it works beautifully as a sand wedge, too, and its design makes the C3i incredibly handy in most any greenside situation.
Excellent question.
I’d simply recommend scrolling back up to read the feedback and watch the videos of the everyday golfers who tested the C3i – none of whom had ever used it, none of whom were paid to say nice things about it.
Then revisit the info from our pal LDRIC, who didn’t have a dog in the fight (if you will) when he tried the C3i against two brand-name competitors.
Real user testing backed by scientific data. There’s nothing gimmicky about that.
Absolutely not. In fact, our designers studied the wedges you’re talking about and, while they found things to like, they found lots of shortcomings, too.
For instance, the others tend to skip off tight lies (causing thin shots) and sometimes snag in the rough. The C3i was built to eliminate these problems – and to sound and feel much better than competitors.
Yes, indeed – It is legal for tournament play.
An independent company which hired some of the best designers in the business – guys who have built clubs for big brands, placing several models on the coveted Golf Digest “Hot List.” And while contractual details preclude us from identifying those clubs, trust me – you’d know them if you heard their names.
No problem. I’ll make it simple:
To save strokes and shoot lower scores without investing piles of time and money in lessons or practice. With the C3i, you really can buy a better golf game!
You want to know how much it’s gonna cost.
Before revealing today’s special price, I can tell you it’s an extraordinary value compared to:

You shouldn’t let this opportunity pass you by, either.

Hi guys - I just wanted to say thank you so much for my new best golfing friend! I've had the club for 3 weeks now and with only a modest amount of practice and 2 rounds I'm hitting some great flop and bunker shots. What I love best is the consistency and confidence this club inspires. Everyone I play with wants to hold it and give it a try.
Great job - and thanks for making golf more fun.
Alan
I finally had the chance to use [the C3i], and let me tell you, “it is as advertised”. A tremendous bunker relief and an outstanding club around the green. For the longest time, I would loft my 56˚ in the bunker with mixed results. Not anymore, with the C3i. I followed the tutorials, normal stance, and just use your normal swing. The balls are 99.9 % close to the cup. The missed shots are all normal human error for me. Around the greens? WOW this club is amazing. 99.9% accurate within 20" to 30" to the cup. A definite keeper for me. Thank you C3i.
Roland
I absolutely love this club. Getting out of the sand used to be one fo the weakest parts of my game, but with the C3i, I get out of every sand trap, big or small
Michael
I am so pleased with the C3i. My game was to the point that on any given hole I would aim well away from a bunker because once in there, it is likely it would take me 2 or 3 shots to get out. Right now I am not scared to be in the bunker. The C3i has saved me around 7 shots a round. I am very pleased and every amateur should have one in their bag.
Des
I recently received this amazing wedge and added to my bag!! The first time I used it (without practicing)...I hit my third shot in the bunker on a par 5. With the C3i, I hit the ball out of the bunker and made par!! The same scenario happened on the 7th hole....(what I call "A Sandy Par")...Thanks to this amazing wedge C3i!!
