Affinity is a somewhat well-known golf club brand. They have a number of different product lines that are mainly targeted around wedges. While they have increased in popularity over time, many wonder if they are legal to use. To figure this out, I checked with the USGA, and R&A databases to see whether or not these clubs are considered legal.
| Name | Legal or Illegal |
| Affinity Buzzsaw Wedge | Illegal |
| Affinity Sand Wedge | Illegal |
| Affinity 56 Degree Wedge | Illegal |
| Affinity Pitching Wedge | Illegal |
| Affinity Revo Wedge | Illegal |
Are Affinity Wedges Legal?
According to the USGA and the R&A, all versions of the Affinity wedges are illegal. This means that they are not USGA approved. What it also means is that you are not able to use any Affinity wedge in any high-level, casual, or professional golf outing. If you do, then you stand to be disqualified.
This means that the Buzzsaw wedge, Sand wedge, 56 Degree wedge, Pitching wedge, and Revo wedge are all illegal to use.
Who Makes Affinity Golf Clubs?
Affinity golf clubs, including wedges, are made by a company called King Par. Records indicate that this company stopped manufacturing affinity golf clubs in 2016. This is interesting because it appears as though there has been a recent spike in interest regarding these golf clubs. Affinity is just one of the brands that King Par manufactures.
How To Know Affinity Golf Clubs Are Illegal?
For those that don’t know, the USGA and R&A have databases that store the information for all approved golf equipment. If a piece of equipment is not featured in the database, then it is not approved. After searching, Affinity was not in the database, which means they are not approved by the USGA or R&A.
