Alien Golf suggests something extraterrestrial and the Roswell 2.0 wedge certainly doesn’t conform to the norm.

It also comes with an incredibly deep sole with an undercut back of the clubhead adding to the one-off look of the wedges.
That undercut does serve a significant purpose in terms of the design as it has allowed Alien Golf to move weight to the perimeter of the clubhead and add maximum forgiveness to your short game as a result.
In the back of the undercut is the Alien Golf logo and icon to give these wedges a unique look.
The team behind the design have also incorporated a patented Space Gel feature, which combined with stabilizing bars to perfect the feel and forgiveness of the wedges.
Like most other modern day wedges, the Roswell model has a CNC milled face to generate maximum spin levels and ultimate control. However, the pattern of the grooves mean it is not legal for competition golf.
The Alien Golf Roswell 2.0 wedges are available in 56 degrees and 60 degrees and can be bought as a “kit” of two. There is also a ladies version which is purple in colour compared to the men’s green model.
