thegraduate18

Lanky; right now I am taking a divot but a small one and I believe it is behind the ball. Should I be taking a sizeable divot? I am playing a Nike ONE Vapor. One the swing should the angle on the back swing be steeper? Slabm thanks for the advice. I will take it onto the course tomorrow.

What do you mean? Aim for closer to the green?

I need to get some more spin on the ball on my chip/lob shots onto the green. The loft I am getting is fine but the ball just seems to roll much further (off the green) than I want it to. Could it be the bounce is too much? Or is it just how I am striking the ball?

I wanted to thank everyone for the info on this. I picked up the club yesterday and can't wait to go ut and play with it on sunday. Cut, out of curiosity, did yours come with the R9 wrench?

I tip my hat to you Cut. I will pick up a couple face plates when I go to pick up the club. Gotta love this place

Lock, thanks for the tremendous advice. I am going to pull the trigger this weekend on both clubs and head out for (hopefully) two back to back rounds on sunday. Gotta love those late tee times when no one shows up after :)

Glock: I took your advice and I am going to pull the trigger on the 56 (the TM does not come in a 55) for the sand wedge. It comes with an option for a 12 or 16 bounce. Is 16 too much, even for a SW? Where as the cleveland I will get in a 60 with an 8 bounce. There for I can use the TM in both sand and deep grass. Any opinions? All are appreciated.

glock, you are absolutely correct. I tried to go on memory from when I looked it up earlier yesterday but didn't write the post till later that night. And as you can see, my memory for lack of better terms, is for shit (my girlfriend will wholeheartedly agree to that fact as well). So is there a reason as to get the SW at 55 vs. the 60?

I thought the same thing which at first deterred me from purchasing them but then thought of two important things: Just because something is more expensive, that doesn't mean it is better (sometimes). Especially with golf clubs so much is based on personal preference and feel that price almost (see how I said almost) means nothing. I myself an in a business (home appliances) where replacement parts and accessories have tremendous margins. For example, a coffee maker may cost 100 but the margin is small. But that little glass part, the carafe, which sells for $19 but the margin is tremendous. These little club face inserts go for about $30 a piece. The margin on the has got to be tremendous. And with changing them out every 15-20 rounds, for someone that plays 18holes figure 3-4x a week? That is where they make up the money But more importantly, is this club more useful as strictly SW (because of the replaceable faces, the cut of the grooves, weight of the club) or is it better as a universal "I can do anything you can do" kind of wedge?.

I apologize I probably should have been a bit clearer. I am looking to use this particular wedge as a sand wedge. I have an approach and a pitching (that I am not overly enthusiastic about but I use them but am looking to replace them too). I am however in dire neednof a SW since my current one is shot and has worn completely after the 4 yes of usage. I am also looking at the Cleveland CG16 as a SW too. My current approach and pitching are a 52 and 54 respectively that came with my set (TM burners 1.0).

Cut, what degree is your wedge? for a sand wedge I am contemplating the 64 degree but with the ability to change the plate after 15-20 rounds, getting it at 60 might seem a bit more versatile.

I am looking to replace a wedge and the fact that you have the ability to change out the plates on this club is very enticing. Any input?

i would agree with that, dosent matter where it is, as long as u used a golf club to hit a golf ball on a golf course, it counts as a hole in one

i always aim for that guy. make a little game out of it with my friends, first one to hit 'em gets dinner or a beer.
