My bad, I got the 56/10 from your signature

No, you're right, I have to change that now.

I agree the Spin Milled Vokey's are ridiculous. I bought my 60º like maybe a month ago and in the 8 rounds since, I haven’t had the chance to hit it at 100% yet, So the other day I had 90 yards to an uphill green and pretty much swung hard as possible and really delofted/hit down on it and upon arrival to the green my divot was hole high 10ft right but my ball was honestly 60ft in front of the (level) green. I went from Birdie to Bogey just that quick but didn’t care cause that ball jumped back like it was kicked and I’ve never seen anything like that before, just unreal. I’m not sure how beneficial that is but it def looked cool.

Useful mainly for impressing your friends! You may lose the round, but they'll be talking about that shot all week.

True. Also, there's a reason you almost never swing "hard as possible" and "hit down on it" with a wedge of any kind.

Since I play for dough between my friends, showing off is out of the question unless its a wedge shot. My driver, is the most unconsistent, then it is my putter, and then my irons but my wedges are on a totally different level. I carry 2 wedges my 56 and 60 because thats all I need. I have this park at my place and I go into the baseball fields and practice my wedge shots for couple of hours every other day because I can't get to a place with real grass ranges. I think cg10 has the most spin out of any wedge and also is the softest and it works on hard balls too. I spun a top flite about 4 ft when I had a 70 yard shot, I was impressed spinning top flites.. Eric is right, why would you hit down on the ball, the ball will be loaded with more spin then ever because of the compression your giving it. You should try these cg10's though, they have amazsing spin control. THe vokeys I have tried has a demo once, when I hit it loose, the ball just spun back, I didn't like that because I tried to hit a shot with no spin, u know. The cg10's give you spin when you need them and none when you don't. Also I use the nike one platinum, these spin like living #$*@. I hit a 3 iron and it took a 2 step bounce and held it's spot. That's about it. Also you should get one of those groove sharpener/cleaners from golfsmith. They are really nice and get's rid of the annoying stuff in your grooves fast. HAHAH, this was so long.

    • It’s Louisville, so from living here  in Kentucky for 28 years, it doesn’t surprise me.. lucky he didn’t get tazed.. Not saying scottie is in the right,  just guessing it escalated quickly. And this is why I stay in Lexington:-)
    • With the limited information it sounds like both sides, Scottie and the police, handled the situation poorly. Scottie not realizing his recognition factor is low as he’s quite the dud, and the officer being way too aggressive in the situation.  Jumping in/on the car was an asinine move by the cop. Scottie trying to get around the stop before getting assistance was a bone head move as well. 
    • Scottie's stuff was at 6am. He should have been able to react in 0.31 seconds at worst. 🤣

    • Yep.  If a vehicle is even moving at 25 mph, that covers 37-FT in one second, or 10 yards in one second. It is highly probable that Scottie didn't have time to react, and ended up driving further than what the cop probably deemed acceptable and thought Scottie was trying to run him over.  The fact is, the cop should not have put themselves in that position to begin with.  Edit. I didn't even calculate the stop distance needed (when Scottie hits the brakes). That 10 yards is if he never slowed down. Human reaction time is about .25 seconds, maybe longer when it is 5AM.
