I've been playing a 60 degree Nike Forged Unchromed Red Underline wedge for 2 seasons now and love it. Been thinking about completing the set ... but was wondering if anyone knew the difference between the Red and Blue underlines?!?!

example ...

'cause the lofts are all different as well ...

53 degree = Blue Underline
56 degree = Red Underline
58 degree = Blue Underline
60 degree = Red Underline

any ideas? tried google, but that was no help - so I came to the experts!

I thought RED represented Tiger's wedge prefs and BLUE represented Duval's.

I have the 53* and 58* both BLUE (which Duval used when he was ranked #1 at the time). I bought them around that time too.

The 56* and 60* I believe are RED (which Tiger uses).

It's was the same thing with the Nike Tour Accuracy balls. They had TW and DD stamped on them.

really? ... ^^^^^^

that's weird ... so it may or maynot have anything to do with the bounce? although I'd assume they'd be different for each club as well .......

The Duval models(blue) have slightly more bounce, like 1*.
