I have just read a fantastic review from Erik at sandtrap, it really gave me a good insight into what I am looking for. But until I read this I didn't have a clue! I am looking to buy a lob wedge at the moment having only recently
re-commenced playing golf. I didn't even know you could get different
bounce from the same loft!!!

Basically I just wanted a bit of advice (if you have the time). I am
currently playing off 18 which I am happy enough with considering I have
only just started playing again, but I intend to play a lot of golf over
the next year and already am finding I am 'missing' a club in my bag. What
club would you recommend for someone like myself who is looking for
something to play from the fairway and rough to fill the gap between PW and
SW. From what I can tell I am considering the Titleist SM56.10.....with a view to adding a 60 degree to replace my SW if I like it.

I have also just seen that there is gap wedges for playing fairway shots and wondered what benefits these may bring? Are they easier to control than a Lob wedge as I have heard they can be hard to hit.

Thanks

A lob wedge is the highest lofted club. Your PW is probably about 48 and your sand wedge... I don't know, they're typically 56 or 54. So if you're considering adding a 56 and a 60, I don't know what lofts you've got now.

I have a 54.10 (opened up it plays to about 14° bounce) and a 60.04. Those are my numbers - one high bounce, one low bounce. My PW is 48°.

48 - 54 - 60 - and the distances are equally spaced as well.

    • I saw The Deuce as well. ... At least pictures of it.  Seems everyone is bringing out a mini-driver this year.  I actually had no intention of getting one, but the PXG salesperson tricked me. He said something to the effect of "Hey, you wanna try this mini-driver?" ... Sneaky bastard. 
    • Day 37: 1/16/2025 Really good practice today. Did a bunch of mirror work early in the AM; before anyone else in the house woke up. Basically working on this. Later, on lunch, I had time to swing by the range and work on it some more. Basically what I did was drag over one of the mirrors they have at the range; Do between 1 and 4 slow mo practice swings looking at the mirror focusing on improving the above. After the slow-mo swings I'd then hit a shot at regular speed. I rotated between the PW, 8 iron, 6 iron and 5 wood. Hitting one shot with each club, choosing the club at random. 👍😁👍
    • Good Luck!!  I saw today about Cobra getting in on it by “dropping a duece” 
    • I'd like to offer advice, but I'm not sure what you are asking. You made several statements, but none of them seem problematic.  Sounds like you like to keep your wrists loose when hitting a driver. You like to hit your 7 iron. Somebody said your swing is fast. Are you asking for help in clarifying what Hogan said?  I'm not trying to be jerk-like. I am not sure what you want advice on.
