I just got a brand new set of glubs over the past week. I am also new to this forum so this is my way of saying hello to everyone. I have been playing for about 10 years and unfortunately last year my family and I ran into hard times and I had to sell my clubs and hang my golf shoes up for a while. Now that things are back to normal ( i think), my wife let me go and start the process of building a new set. So far I got a great deal on a set of Taylormade burner 2.0 hp irons that hit great. Taylormade white smoke putter, Taylormade Superfast 2.0 9.5 degree driver, and Taylormade superfast 2.0 3 wood. I am currently testing wedges right now. My iron set only goes down to AW 50 degrees. I can only afford one wedge right now and I am leaning towards the Vokeys. I just have no idea on what degree wedge should be my next club. I am leaning towards a 56, or a 58. Good to be hear everyone hope to make a few friends here.

Well my set is now complete. Just spent about 2 hours at the golf shop and tried out tons of wedges while a club fitter monitored me on the launch monitor. He was actually very surprised that the wedges I hit the most consistent and the farthest was the wedges from the Adams Tom Watson set. The club fitter told me there was no reason to buy more expensive vokeys since I hit these the best. I saved alot of money today by not going by impulse and buying three Vokeys. Instead i took the smarter sensible route and came out very happy.

My uncle plays the Tom Watson classic wedges and loves them. I think he got them in a set of 3? Welcome to the site.

    • Day 35, June 8. Before leaving for work this morning (yes, I'm posting this quite late relative to the practice), I spent 15 minutes practicing at home, into a net.  This time, it was primarily 9-iron (full swings), with some UW (full and half) and a few 6-iron.  
    • Day 73: just some mirror work today. Working on feels for being open and getting the front shoulder down. 
    • I'm liking this. Finally getting down hands in front of my trail leg pocket consistently at A6 with much better clubhead position (relatively not as tipped out). I can really pressure the shaft through impact with good face control  from this position and stay in balance. Won my first one v one march 5&4 against a 4 hcp who routinely drives it 35-40 yards past me in the men's club match play . Frustrated him with some solid iron play and air tight putting.   
    • Day 279 6-8  Worked on low point control skills work tonight. will be doing this for a few weeks. Tonight was just trying figure out how to get low point forward.  No ball.  
    • Day 8 (Jun 8 26) - Stayed the drill but added two additional irons (7i, 8i and 9i) - using Divot Board and hard foam balls - focused on tempo and purposed pause at the top….noticing how open the club is marking the board when I try to kill it and how much more square (and better distance) when I focus on these keys.
