I have 3-PW Talyormade r7 XD irons and fairly old vokey wedges and there is a 30 yard difference between my PW and my 52 degree vokey. I have tried to choke up on a PW or hit a 52 as hard as I can, but those approaches either are miss-hit or still don't go the correct distance. I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem, and if it would be a good idea to get a r7 XD 49 degree AW to go between my 52 degree vokey, and my 44 degree PW, or if I should just keep trying to fix the swing. If I did get this new club I would remove my 3 iron that I never use, and it would not be a big loss. Thanks for the input.

WOW 44 degree pitching wedge? that is a strong loft! Game imrovment clubs have gotten streonger over the years so we can all say I hit the same iron into that green as a pro!!!! when in actuality there is a club if not more diffrence between Game improvment Irons and Muscle backs or blades. I just started using a set of Muscle backs and the PW is 47 9 iron is 44 I cant say I hit my 9 iron 150 anymore but I also dont need a gap wedge anymore. Why not go to a 50 and a 58 wedge to help close the gaps?

I still think that if I did that I would still have the distance gap since the new wedges would not have the extra distance technology like the XDs.

Hey guys, best i can figure all the new club makers are going stronger, even the blades out there are being delofted, i think they are going for the mental side(i can hit this new PW 135, my old PW was 115 or 120)

Exactly! My brother-in-law settled on TaylorMade irons because he hit the 5 iron farther than the other brands he tried. If you're worried about the extra distance technology why not just buy the matching wedges for your set. I think you need to fill the gaps rather than change your swing. You might be able to find them cheap on ebay too. Proshopwarehouse.com is also a good place to look for these.

i have the same problem with the XD burners i bought. I ended up picking up a 48 volkey and switched to a 54 sand instead of the 56. Just a idea. 3 and 4iron out of the bag. get a hybrid and extra wedge.

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
