I've seen people almost hit themselves with a ball with their driver at the range.
Imagine what they would do with an 80 degree.
I wouldn't want to stand behind them, that's all I know.

I think that in practice when you reach around 70 degrees of loft the amount of spin diminishes.

Yep. The face is so flat that it doesn't really have enough impact to "grab" the ball. The ball just slides off from it, goes straight up and straight back down. A completely useless club unless you are performing in golf exhibitions.

I haven't bought the thing and probably never will I just figured it would be a good topic. Oh and "Franco" I know how to open the club face.
The flop may be the best shot I have.

Besides, the Dr. Knockdown is

Ha - I tried to rate it a 1 and it simply will not let you rate it that low. Shenanigans!!!!!!!

Of course a guy could put 5 of these in his bag and shoot the most impressive 9 on any hole he choses.

If you took a full enough swing with this wedge could you hit yourself in the face? I might buy one or get a wedge bent to 80 just too have some fun.

Haha, according to the same website, Jack Hamm hits his 8 iron 260+ yards, and regularly hits over 400 yards with his driver. I can understand why he'd need an 80* wedge

i like to call him Jack the scam hamm.

      I would agree with your assessment here. How are you at picking targets? Are you still aiming for the biggest part of the green or do you start flag hunting with a wedge in your hands? I don't really use this one. I would think that's a pretty good assumption, unless you have some weird combination of terrible from inside of 25 yards from the fairway and excellent from outside of 25 yards to offset that somehow, that it's primarily your short game from the rough that needs improvement. You can also go to the proximity by lie/distance breakdown in the overview tab to see more. For example, my SG stats look like this for the short game: But if you go to the proximity page, it paints a clearer picture. Don't forget you can hover over the bars on the graph to see how many you have taken from that lie. My short game inside of 25 yards isn't actually as bad as the SG stat would indicate, but it's completely skewed by my ineptitude out of greenside bunkers. Out of 101 shots overall inside of 25 yards, 22 of them were from the bunker. Many of them from the same bunker. Repeatedly. If you look at a glance at my 25-50 yard proximity stats, you might think it's the same issue, but it's not. Out of 41 shots overall, only 4 were from bunkers there, so that's not affecting the overall numbers too much. Same with the fairway stats, it looks like I do pretty well from the fairway from 25-50 yards out, but n=3. Not statistically significant.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By snapfade ·

      Shot a 37 with two birdies. 2 highlights which came on the same hole.  Had a 297 yard drive which set me up for a nice approach on my  nemesis hole which I walked off with a birdie. Previous best for ages was a bogey on that hole.  2 more added to the birdie challenge.
