My Ping G10's came with 4-UW (50* loft). I'm without a sand wedge, although my Utility works OK. I may also go for a lob wedge at some point or replace my Utility with a more workable club.

I'm pretty loyal to Ping, so I'm looking at the iWedge and the Tour. The Tour seems more playable. I'm still relatively new (shooting in the low 100's), but would like something more playable than my G10's. I really enjoy working on my short game. I haven't ruled out others but assuming these are my choices, what you you pick and why?

I'm leaning towards the Tour Wedge because of it's increased playability. Also looking at the standard 56° for a Sand Wedge, and the 60/8 as a lob wedge.

Thanks!
Tim

The tour is what I play (56, 60) and I have one of the best short games of anyone I know. (Granted, I have the time to practice an hour a day just on short game alone...)...

I don't really boast much about my game, but if there is one thing I do well, that's inside 50 yards around the greens.

I never used the iwedges but the tour are very nice.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      To flog this subject even further, if that's even possible, this article from Golf Monthly just appeared today in one of my news feeds. Written by a golf writer in the UK who I never heard of, he's basically saying that there should be only 3-5 rounds from the most recent 20 that should count towards the average and only competitive rounds should count. He claims the erratic scorers would have less of an advantage than they do now. He makes a lot of references to "club golfers" in the UK being the ones who are mostly dissatisfied. https://share.google/qmZZBEoJvOxHxJGil  In my experience with my league where we have golfers with indexes ranging from 5 to 40, looking at the weekly results from the past two years, I can detect no pattern that would substantiate the claim that the current system gives an unfair advantage to either erratic golfers (aren't we all?) or higher handicappers. Apparently though, at least in the UK, this seems to be "a thing."
