Uh yeah friction

I open it up to like 88*, makes it much easier

Granted at impact it gets delofted a touch. But still over 80*

And you can do that with your 3 iron, right? Because loft doesn't matter...

And "uh yeah friction" means nothing. lol

ou could with the right amount of bounce.

you're not getting the point...enough of your science talk you can't get the club face of a wide open 3 iron to point at the target unless you're aiming way to the left of your target. not to mention 9 times out of 10 you would most likely hit the back of the hozzle

And that would give you the same results, with the same shot, and same percentages as a 56 or 60 degree, right? Since loft doesn't matter...

Do you still not get it yet?

I understand it exactly. I'm saying if you open up the face like you should than no matter what the loft is the same. The less lofted club it woul get harder to get one with all the right specs. And you would have to lower your hands.

Now I get it.  We have to get down on our knees to hit an explosion with a 3I. :loco:

You should really listen to  your elders, son.  We've already taken and passed our various geometry and trigonometry courses.  We know that what you propose is pure hogwash.  I've hit explosion shots with up to an 8I, and they are very definitely not the same as with my 54° SW.  Try to open a 8i to a 60° loft and you will be hitting the ball with the hosel, not the face - it doesn't matter how low your hands are, you still have rotate the clubhead too far to add that much loft.

Bounce is important, but it only lets your utilize the loft correctly. You don't need 80 plus degrees of loft, maybe for short side shots.

Again, read what I wrote before: [quote name="jamo" url="/t/69966/56-or-60-club-face-in-a-bunker-various-lays/0_30#post_899547"] That's not entirely true. Most people open the face of their wedges in the sand, which serves the dual purposes of increasing the effective loft and adding bounce. When you start with a club that has less loft (say, a 56˚ rather than a 60˚), you have to open it more, which exposes more bounce. [/quote] That pretty much sums up why both loft and bounce are important.

but if you can open up a 56 and a 60 and have the same amount of bounce depending on the club.

What? Proofread, man. I have no idea what point you're trying to make.

Show me a video of you hitting a 3 iron with a wide open face and then we can continue this discussion, it's impossible unless you're some sort of alien who can morph his arms and hands into awkward positions

    • I did not realize that, I was thinking a more traditional golf club.  
    • Thanks for the feedback. @StuM, we are a "club without real estate" so no facilities or pro. We have a membership of around 185 players and we only play together as a group at our tournaments, which are held at public access courses. A group of us setup the tournaments, collect the money and dole out the prizes.
    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
