i just started doing my greenside chipping with the PW and the results have been fantastic! i was using a 9 iron before and wasn't getting the in air "pop" i wanted. If i want the ball to roll, depepnding on the distance, i'll use a 9, 7 or 5 but for close to the hole, i'm going to use my PW or 52º from now on

So can you make a 54 check up on short chip shots?

I have two new Cleveland CG14 wedges 52* and 58* but two dots. I use the 52* for any shot between 100 and 50 yards, and the 58* for shots inside 50 yards that I have to hit high into the air or get a lot of spin from. I really like these wedges and the loft combo, it works very well for me.

All those numbers are from perfect lies. Anything in deep rough or awful lie automatically calls for one more club.

48*(PW), 52/08*, 56/12*, 60/04

48- Shots over ~110, knockdown shots <110, some greenside chips

52/08- the majority of shots <110 yds. I can hit my 52 high, low, short, long. I love that club; the thing can even cook eggs if I grip it right.

56/12- Sand and anything <90yds from the rough. The extra bounce realy helps cut through the rough

60/04- when I need a high soft shot. I don't use this club that much

Just curious, what do you guys use when your in the rough but the pin is about 5-15 feet? I hit my SW but end up either hitting too slow and ending up back in the rough or hit it too hard and overhit it.

I would get a better wedge to start with and second practice short hard brush strokes with wedge at the range. sometimes if the ball is buried you have to stab at it to get it out and thats a hard shot to to pull off without practice. pick up a mizuno or a vokey wedge with some weight to it to start- clevelands are nice as well

54 Ping tour wedge is currently my anything under 130 yards in club. I had tried to use a 58 TM Rac Satin tp wedge but I have no confidence and it will be on Ebay in a week's time. Looking towards E-bay now for a 58 wedge replacement, perhaps an older CG11 for slightly more forgiveness and D6 weight.

I am hitting 54 degree and 58 degree Cleveland RTG 900 wedges. The main reason is to keep consistent gaps between my irons. I play Mac 565s and the gap wedge is 50 degrees.

I am thinking about replacing the 58 with a 60. There are times when I want a little more loft to land the ball a bit softer, or to clear trees. I have hit a 60 for years, but decided to stick with 58 for a bit.

Both wedges are mid bounce, as I prefer to have the option to hit both reliably out of the bunker. I do think the 58 is a great lob wedge for someone trying it out for the first time.

I can't stress enough the importance of knowing the lofts of your irons and getting wedges that maintain a consistent gap. I see very good golfers with terrible short games. Inevitably, they are hitting 45 degree pitching wedges - with their next club being a 56 degree sand wedge - a difference of 11 degrees (3 times to much).

    • Day 27 (7 Dec 25) - Got in a few swings with 9i and hard foam balls in backyard.  Setup weight fwd (rebuilt left foot really lets me feel the weight in a slightly painful way) - kept the backswing to around 9 o’clock focusing on contact and resulting divot pattern.  Like how the hard foam balls come off the face (almost like real balls in sound).  A good abbreviated session as I only able to hit about a dozen balls in the fading light. 
    • Day 117 12-7 A bit of chipping practice today. Full swing- hit some real balls to see where Im at. 
    • Not the part I was replying to: Handicaps did not go down much (like 0.14 on average IIRC?) when we went from 10/20*0.96 to 8/20. And a good chunk of that was from the +s.
    • I think he meant in the UK. The old system was completely different from the new one. 10/20 x 0.96 vs 8/20 would really only impact very low handicaps I think. The 0.96 serves to increase differentials for plus differentials, where 8/20 vs 10/20 works to lower differentials for all. I don't know many plus golfers who would be upset that their index got lower. A lot of really good players don't even really keep their handicaps up-to-date. They're much more interested in their WAGR rankings which get them entries to certain events.
    • Day 433 - 2025-12-07 Got some work in after Junior Elite before a night of sports (and the return of my wife!). Backswing work. Similar to what a lot of my juniors are doing.
