I recently purchased the cleveland cg15 54 and 60 degree wedges. I gripped both clubs with the golf pride new decade grips. The only problem is I did not know too much about bounce when I purchased them and got both with high bounce. My 54 degree has 14 bounce and my 60 has 12. I love hitting the 60 out of sand but don't seem to hit it to well from 70 yards and in. I know bounce is all about conditions but do I really have to trade the 60 in and get the same exact club with a lower bounce? Is it pointless to have both clubs with high bounce?

It has to do much with how you want to use the wedges....

The 54 is used by many as a SW and if the sand in bunkers you play is soft and dry, 14 degrees isn't too bad ..... tut if the sand is wet or hard, 14 degr. bounce might mean you will hit a lot of balls instead of the sand transporting the ball, bc the heavy bounce skips the head or prevents you to enter the sand...... so 14 degr. is perfect for fluffy sand or deep rough, but it is lesser for about all other conditions.

10-12 is allround for sand and 8-10 is better for a combination of fairway and sand.

The 60/12 is also great for sand, but from the fairway 8 degrees of bounce is better. (don't buy the low bounce 60 .... like the 4 degr. bounce models, unless you want to clear the fairways of grass).

My wedge setup is 48/06 - 53/09 - 58/08 (but I also have a 54/14 for courses with soft sanded bunkers)

In all I would say .... sorry for your investment or loss ..... maybe it is better to buy an extra 54 with a lower bounce for allround use (keep the 54/14 as I did) and trade 60 in for lower bounce model if you want to use it of the fairway a lot.

    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?      
    • Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
