Three Luck is another one of those smaller companies that goes by relatively unnoticed. It’s Sky Dream Jump wedges however have been very popular among hardcore golf enthusiasts looking for soft forged feel, an awesome grind and monster spin. With presence on the Japanese tour and in the bag of many top amateurs, Three Luck decided that they would also release a few of their Tour conforming groove wedges to the general public. Originally they offered only their non conforming grooves D-Tour Type Bite and Type Bite Wide Sole as the only wedges available for recreational golfers.

CNC Milled faces and grooves for more spin…

While the new tour model wedges do sport conforming grooves, the Sky Dream Jump’s are said to spin more than the average wedge because each wedge is carefully CNC Processed. This includes full milling of the face and the grooves/score lines one by one. Sky Dream Jump believes this precision milling creates better spin from the grooves and face of the wedges and irons compared to those on the market that possess punch/stamped grooves. Sky Dream Jump claims that their wedges spin as much as other brands that use punched non conforming grooves.

New Sky Dream Jump TB and WS Wedges

The new Sky Dream Jump wedges are called the SDJ Pro Groove Series. They Feature 2 premium forged S25C models, the TB and the WS. The TB is the new Type Bite model, featuring a compact head, less offset and thinner sole. The TB has toe and heel grind and a flowing long neck design with sharper head lines. It’s meant for control and workability.

The WS is the new Wide Sole model offering a bit more forgiveness and ease of use thanks to the wider and rounded grind sole that reduces fat shots and excels in bunkers. The WS has a lower center of gravity and a shorter neck  for increased MOI.  With slightly more offset the WS is the more automatic of the two wedges. The WS is available in a non plated flat black finish while the TB features either a Nickel Chrome Satin or the same non plated flat black finish.

The previous non conforming Sky Dream Jump D Tour were very very good spinners, and while they did not have the individually CNC’ed grooves, they did have a micro milled face which provided a lot of extra bite. The new Tour Wedges feel just as good which is very good and provide that soft yet crisp feel at impact.  At address, the new Tour Wedges seem to have a touch more offset than the previous model but I think that may be an illusion based on the way they have grinded the shape of the new head. While the toe is high and rounded the heel now possesses a bit of a curve which can be seen at address. Three Luck has said this provides the illusion and guidance of “cupping the ball” towards the heel and having it run up the face towards the toe for maximum spin.  The leading edge of the SDJ is rather straight and works well for the better player who sweeps/picks the ball off the turf. The head shape of the tour wedges may in fact look a bit more like the magnesium damp alloy DP-2010 which is also a very good wedge.

Both the standard Sky Dream Jump TB and WS wedges have very good feel and playability. For me playing on lush courses and being more of a digger, the WS suits my style more than the TB. I just wish the WS also came in the very nice and durable nickel satin.  Both spin equally well and while they may not destroy balls like the previous D Tour wedge will milled faces the new Tour models and their CNC grooves definitely still have some bite to them.

Available in very limited quantities…

There is also a new conforming CF I Pro Spec iron is a soft forged precision CNC Milled head. For a small head it features ease of use thanks to the wide sweet area and CNC machined mini pocket cavity.  The thick faced design creates the feel of a muscle back but the playability and forgiveness of a cavity back. It has that same soft black plated finish as the original non conforming model.

All the new Sky Dream Jump wedges are available as very limited models, mostly meant for Japan pros and top amateurs. Each wedge is individually numbered on the back cavity to verify through Three Luck that that wedge has been fully face milled for the tour. We are able to get a few of each and they are available as head only so look for the listings soon in the TSG  pro shop!
