I carry one in my set of vintage MacGregors.

Persimmon Driver, 3 Wood, 1954 MT forged blades 2-9 iron (no 6), Wilson R-90 Sand Wedge, Spalding Kro Flite 9 Iron (I can open the blade and hit a flop shot from a fluffy lie), Dunlop 64 degree wedge.

It's a mixed bage between the MacGregor nine iron to the putter that I wouldn't recommend.

I much prefer a 60 degree wedge to a 64 as it can do everthing the 64 can and the 64 is just an opened up 60 that you don't have to open up - not that versatile at all.

Mizuno MP600 driver, Cleveland '09 Launcher 3-wood, Callaway FTiz 18 degree hybrid, Cleveland TA1 3-9, Scratch SS8620 47, 53, 58, Cleveland Classic 2 mid-mallet, Bridgestone B330S, Sun Mountain four5.

I have one being stored in my bag...it's a 15th club....didn't really like it, so I replaced it with a 58 degree LW to finish out my set (in signature line).

I'll most likely sell the 64 degree on ebay in the near future.

I also agree. I cant find much use for it as i do with my 60 degree.

Beretta,

My config is driver (G-5 w/harrison shaft), 15deg. 3wood, 19deg. 3+ hybrid (TM Burners) Great clubs!!! , 4-PW (X-22 Tours), and 52deg 58deg. RAC Satin TP's. and I had a 60deg. satin bent to 62degrees. For me my 3/4 swing with the 58 still carries 70 yards. So I added the 62. It is great for flop shots and 50 yards in when I want to take a good swing. Hope this helps.

After more consideration......I'd say that I could've swapped out my 64 for my putter as they covered the same distances.


Just kidding....hope yours works out better for you.

The only day the 64* was in play was the day i made my post. I replaced it and the Wilson R90 for a vintage Spalding (Robert T Jones) sand wedge.

I've got a 64' but personally wouldn't recommend it. I know I'm not great with most of my clubs but with my 64 I either get under the ball just right and it goes about 60 feet high and a distance of about 4 feet, or I thin it and it goes about 200 yards straight along the green!

I'm struggling to see a point to it and I'm considering ditching it for a 58 or 60.

I dumped my 60 and 64 for a 62 degree... Best of both worlds!

    • I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.

    • Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
    • Day 283: Putted on my mat for a while watching an NLU video. Worked on keeping my head still primarily, and then making sure my bead is okay.
