Right now i have an old 53 degree cleveland but the grooves are really worn and it is harder to spin the ball. So i was thinking of getting a new wedge. Have any of you guys tried the zip grooves? Do they make that much of a difference?

I have heard good things about the zip grooves. They are supposed to compete with the Titleist Vokey spin-milled wedges which I have personally used and they spin magnificently.

I'm not yet at the point in my game when I can consistently put the spin I want on the ball, but I have my moments. The other day with my CG14 GW I had a lie in pretty deep rough about 75 yards out it took a bounce and stopped- I'm pretty sure I couldn't do that without this wedge. From what I've heard the zip grooves don't give more spin then the Spin Milled, but they give more consistent spin out of varying lies.

I like my wedge very much, it's worth checking out.

I love my CG14's. The polymer insert isn't for the classic look players, but I like the feel it gives to the club, especially on off center hits. I tried some spin milled Vokeys and the Clevelands before buying and there is a spin difference, but not huge. The Vokey did give marginally more spin, but it also tended to chew up a ball. The Cleveland gets a little bit less spin, but it is still very consistent and playable with a lot of control, and doesn't rip apart a soft covered ball. I liked the bounce on the CG's better than the Vokey out of the sand, and am able to spin it out of the bunker. Overall, I'd reccomend them to anybody.

what degree vokey and cleveland were u using? My problem is that i can hit a low firing pw that checks up a little and then trickles to the hole. However i cant use this on close shots. Ive been using my gap wedge and since it worn no spin. Im always flying the ball by the hole and its killing me.

I use a 52, 56 and 60 CG14. The Vokey I compared it to was a 56/14 same as the cleveland.

See I heard that the Titleist chewed the ball less than the Cleveland. But it's great to hear it from someone that has used both. I wanted to buy the Cleveland more seeing that I'm trying to go all Cleveland.

By the way if anyone is looking for a nice putter (Taylormade Monza Corza) I'm looking to get ride of.

I bought a CG-14 56 degree cause I didnt get a sand wedge with my cally x-18 set. After playing a couple rounds with it I replaced my stock x-18 pitch with a CG-14 48 degree, and eventually got a 52 and a 60. Needless to say, I love my CG-14's.

      Do Upgrade Shafts Provide a Significant Performance Gain?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      For someone with a very consistent swing speed and ball strike, upgrades may improve performance. For everyday golfers, probably not. I'm a rather odd player. I usually get best performance from basic pro or tour heads, but with lighter stock shaft from the model's standard driver set up. (Yes, current EXS is an exception.) When I get a full driver fitting, I usually try a couple of modest upgrade  (not super magic) shafts. Most of the time upgrade gives a couple of extra yards, or 10 yards less. Remember this about stock shafts: They are matched to a particular driver model to fit the type of player likely to adopt that model. Also, most OEMs offer a variety of stock shafts in their drivers. Test for which one works best. And, the final decider...

      Hybrid Advice

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Uh, seeing you're having trouble with hit-and-miss performance from inherited clubs... Get Fitted! IF the 910H pair don't work, swap them out. Also, only two degrees separation in loft is not much. You might consider a 4W (much more reliable than a 3W) plus hybrid. This would give more distance separation than two Hs. For hybrid, get one you can hit... Maybe a more benevolent 4H. Quite often I try to brand match my bridge clubs (FWs and Hs), and my irons and wedges... but not always. Whatever works!

      5 Wood or Hybrid

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Like others have said, get fitted. Since 2011, I have played some combination of 4W + 7W. I had a Cobra 3H and 4H a couple of years back, and would swap out the 7W for a 3H in cold months (keep out of cold wind, and rough thinner for wayward drives.) The 7W matched up with yardage often with 3H; the current 4H goes almost as long as 7W, but has a lower trajectory. 4H also bumped out 4i in last bag redo; I learned to hit stinger with 4H so that's my driving iron on tight holes with shallow landing area. Again, a side-by-side test will tell you which way to go. If 5W or 3H is meh, keep the 7W. Also, are you looking to replace the 7W with a 5W or 3H, or add a second bridge club (5W or 3H) to your bag?

      Workout Before or After Playing a Round of Golf (2022)

      Makes sense and aligns with other literature. Static stretching, especially for longer durations, can impede performance in strength and power activities. I would not want to do like hamstring, quad, and calf stretches then go immediately sprint. To me that sounds like a terrible Idea. I would rather start off walking, then jogging, then running, then ramp up to sprinting.  To me, static stretching isn't even a warmup activity. I like the term warmup; you want to get some exertion going before the activity.      a { text-decoration: none; color: #464feb; } tr th, tr td { border: 1px solid #e6e6e6; } tr th { background-color: #f5f5f5; }

      Where Is Your Next Golf Trip Going to Be?

      By jsgolfer · Posted

      Going to Florida for the usual February golf trip, and with our current weather, that date won't get here soon enough. Heading to Augusta GA for the Tuesday Master's practice round, will definitely get some golf in while I'm in the area for a few days. Hope to be able to catch up with @coachjimsc if he's around. Then it's back to Scotland first of July.  Playing 7 new courses, can't wait for that.  Then somewhere after that is the Rhode Island CC Member-Guest and then my normal October golf trip to Myrtle Beach.
