Hi All,

I recently re-evaluated my wedge setup and am trying to decide what I want to end up with.  I have the following:

45* PW (part of my Burner 2.0 set)

49* Cleveland 588 TA PW

53* Cleveland 588 TA GW

56* Cleveland 588 TA SW

60* Cleveland 588 TA LW

I have a few questions for you all.....

1) If I bend my 49* to 48 or even 47* (to replace the 45* PW), will it affect the bounce/offset?

2) Do you think the difference between my 9i (40*) and a 47/48* PW too much?

3) Would it be worth just sticking with the 45* and bending the 53* to 52* to close the PW-GW gap a little more rather than bending the PW?

I do love the Cleveland 588's and can hit them beautifully so I am a bit partial to the idea of bending the 49* to 47* to replace the 45.

Thanks in advance,

Bruce

Keep Calm and Chive On!

1. Yes. For every degree of loft you take off, you lose one degree of bounce. For every degree of loft you add you add a degree of bounce.

2. As long as it works for you I see nothing wrong with it.

3. Your call on that one.

Personally, I think it's simpler to keep the 45 PW and remember it is really a 9i, and then use a 49, 55, 60 setup.

Bend the 56 to 55 -

I'm using a similar setup.

I agree. I would keep the 45 and then 50-55-60 and ditch the 53. Or you could go 44-48-52-56-60 which gives you a tighter spacing (too tight for me, though as I like 48-54-60).

Same here. My wedges are 45 PW, 50 AW, 55 SW, and 60 LW. I opted to go with more wedges evenly spaced instead of having a big gap in lofts.

KCCO,

What is the distance gap between the 9i and the PW, and the PW and the 588 TA 49*?

Also, what is the difference in shaft lengths between the four 588 TA wedges? In recent years many companies only put 1/4" difference in shaft lengths between the classes of wedges. Normal Shaft length difference between numbered irons is 1/2", so you may have less distance difference between wedges than you think.

If you only have 1/4" shaft difference among the 588s, you might bend 49* to 50*, dump the 53* , and keep the 56* and 60*. (Do you hit full shots with the 60* ? Many people don't)

Just some thoughts.

Focus, connect and follow through!

    • I did read the fine print tonight. It said replace with “similar features & function”.  8 yeas ago my purchase had features that today are available on the lower end models and the current version of my model has more “bells & whistles” than what I got 8 years ago.  So I am thinking they honored the agreement and I can’t argue the offer. since getting a credit for the full purchase price all I am really out over the past 8 years was the cost of the extended warranty, which was less than a low end  treadmill would have cost me. now the question is which model to replace with.  I’ll stay with Nordic Track or I forfeit the $1,463 credit so I will get Nordic Track.  And they honored the warranty and were not hard to work with which is a plus.
    • Generally speaking, extended warranties are a terrible deal and should almost always be avoided. They are a huge profit center for the companies that offer them, which should tell you almost everything you need to know about how much value most consumers get when purchasing them.  This is correct, and the old adage applies - only buy insurance when you can't afford the loss. This usually doesn't apply to most consumer goods.  To your second question, no I don't believe the offer is fair. They are replacing it, but it is not being replaced at "no cost to you". Since the amount being disputed (over $500) is non-trivial, I would probably push the issue. Don't waste your time on the phone with a customer service agent or a supervisor. They have probably given you all they have the authority to do. Rather, I would look at the terms of your agreement and specifically legal disputes. The odds are you probably agreed to binding arbitration in the event of a dispute. The agreement will outline what steps need to be followed, but it will probably look something like this.  1. Mail the Nordic Track legal department outlining your dispute and indicate you are not satisfied with the resolution offered.  2. Open up a case with the AAA (American Arbitration Association), along with the required documentation. 3. Wait about 4-5 weeks for a case to be opened - at which point someone from Nordic Track's legal department will offer to give you the new model at no cost to you.  They certainly don't want to spend the time and energy to fight you over $500. 4. Enjoy your new Nordic Track at no cost to you. I recently entered binding arbitration against a fairly large and well known company that screwed me over and refused to make it right. In my demand letter, I made a pretty sizeable request that included compensation for my time and frustration. Once it hit their legal department, they cut me a check - no questions asked. It was far cheaper to settle with me than to send their legal team to defend them in the arbitration.
    • I never thought of looking at it on multiple purchases like you said.  Yes, the extended may help me on 1 or 2 items but not the other 5 or 6.
    • Day 84 - Forgot to post yesterday, but I did some more chipping/pitching.    Back/neck were feeling better today, so I did a much overdue Stack session.
