Daniel,

I selected the raw SM7 finish for my new wedges having gone for the jet black in my previous SM5's. If you dont mind the dull and slightly rusty look of the raw after you have used them I would go for raw. They do feel nicer to play with but if you like you clubs in the bag to look shiny and spotless go for another finish.

Daniel, I just got two new wedges in the black finish, and I can say in-hand, they look amazing, and I am excited to see how they wear. I like clubs much more once they look experienced (e.g., missing finish on corners and leading edges, a little rust, etc.). This is the first go with black wedges, so I am excited. In the past I have owned a SM6 in raw, which ages very well. I’ve also owned TVD wedges in the chrome and - I think it’s called - tour satin and both were a little too shiny for my liking on sunny days. I hope that helps in your decision. Good luck with the decision!
