to those of you who shoot in the 70's and better, do you ever take full swings with your most lofted wedge?

I currently have a 52, 56, and 60, but I'm considering dropping the 60 and 56 and replacing them with a 58. I never take a full swing with the 60, and often have trouble trying to decide which one of them I should be hitting around the green b/c I feel like I get similar results with both of them. Also, as of late, I've been somewhat inconsistent out of the sand and I think it maybe due to the high bounce on my 56 or the low bounce on my 60. Would any of you recommend this switch? I'm not really looking to add another club with the switch, I just think it may improve my consistency around the green, and I might be able to take full swings with the 58 as well. I might consider throwing a 2 hybrid in the bag, or adding a 5w...

Any help would be appreciated!

Ummmm Well yes, but it's a certain type of shot. It's kind of High spinning shot that I can get to spin back even if I only hit it about 15min.
Im not actully sure what this shot is called, co ill explain it. Ball right at the back on your stance, hands forward and then taking a full swing will produce a very high spinning shot. It's a pitch shot im guessing, just a weird way. Btw I play 56 and 60 degree wedges not 55 and 59 I think my sig says.

The bounce can play a part in misshits but I think it is more a fault in your swing that is causing you to be inconsistant with bunker shots. If I were you I would have a lesson with a local pro.

Did you have alot of sand in the bunkers you usually play in? If there is alot of sand, more bounce is going to help! If not much sand then you want less bounce.

Yeah my full (smooth swing) 60 degree is right on 85 yards. Inside that yardage I use either my 56* or 60* depending on the pin placement etc.

As far as green side bunkers I use my 56* when it is good sand and pull out the 60* when the sand is hard packed.

I don't shoot 70s or better, not sure why that matters, but I use my 60 with a full swing from about 70-80 yards out. I also use it for 20 yard pitch shots that need to get a bit of height (for example, a false green front or something). Out of the sand I use my 56 but I also use it around the green for chip shots, mostly because I just feel comfortable with it.

i use the Pelze 4x3 system, so i currently have 46* cleveland cg10(PW), 52* rac gw, 56* cg10, and 60 cg10/cg12(i alternate them). i use my 60 out of the sand mostly. i take full swings with each wedge, and have 3 finesse distances. it's a great system and has improved my game alot.

      @boogielicious and I are definitely in for the Stay & Play and will need the extra night's stay on Friday. I don't know what the plans are for our group on Friday but even if we don't make it for dinner with the rest of the Friday arrivals, I'll be more than happy to meet up somewhere for a beer or something.

      Strategy on Neshanic Valley Ridge #2

      Taking your dispersion and distance in consideration I analyzed the 4 posible ways to play the hole, or at least the ones that were listed here. I took the brown grass on the left as fescue were you need to punch out sideways to the fairway and rigth of the car path to be fescue too.  Driver "going for the green"  You have to aim more rigth, to the bunker in order to center your shotzone in between the fescue.  Wood of 240 over the bunkers I already like this one more for you. More room to land between the fescue. Balls in the fescue 11% down from 30% with driver. Improve of score from 4.55 to 4.40. 4 iron 210 yards besides the bunkers.    Also a wide area and your shot zone is better than previous ones. This makes almost the fescue dissapear. You really need to hit a bad one (sometimes shit happens). Because of that and only having 120 yards in this is the best choice so far. Down to 4.32 from 4.40. Finally the 6 Iron 180 yards to avoid all trouble.    Wide area an narrow dispersion for almost been in the fairway all the time. Similar than the previous one but 25 yards farther for the hole to avoid been in the bunkers. Average remains the same, 4.33 to 4.32.  Conclusion is easy. Either your 4iron or 6 iron of the tee are equaly good for you. Glad that you made par!
