I just reshafted my 60 degree wedge (some how after a bad shot the old shaft broke) and i left the shaft +1", I figure it will give me more room to tweak yardage by being able to choke up, down. Any negatives to doing this? I tend to use it between 80 and 60 yards, and flops and chips. I tend to use the whole length of the club when chipping but mostly chip with a sand wedge or p-wedge.

It really is up to you and your preferences. Being scoring clubs I like to have the most control possible, therefore I have all 3 wedges the same length as my SW. For me the shorter length promotes consistency and accuracy. I had a 60deg that was +1/2 and it just didn't work for me. Like I said before it's all what is comfortable for you.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Current state of the program.  I can only do 25-50% swing speed, probably under 50% since I was hitting the ball out to the 150 yard marker (yay!),  to get the arms down and somewhat turn the body through impact. I mean somewhat. Arms down + body turn don't like to mesh at all. Anything faster and the body does stupid uncoordinated stuff. Mostly, I am stuck in the old pattern of staling the turn and flipping at the ball.  So, until I see progress. I am not posting anything here.

      Thanks for the video! Do you think a ball between the arms type of training aid would get me in a better position? I also have a Tour Striker Swing Trainer (PlaneMate-like contraption) if that could be helpful.

      There are some little things here and there — the shoulder turn is a bit flat, and the arms move around you a bit too much too. Take a look at this video:

      Ugly elbow in question

      I've developed a serious case of the shanks and difficult to control push fades/slices with my irons lately. I used to draw my irons pretty consistently. I currently most draw driver. Also, I don't like how my elbow sometimes pops out from down the line, especially with driver and/or if I'm trying to hit it harder. I can control the elbow a lot better with irons, but quite difficult to have good contact and speed while controling it on driver.
