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.

    • the rules have changed, but this would fall under 11.2 in the current rules.  General Penalty to any player who deliberately deflects a ball in motion, and you must replay the putt.
    • Day 250 4-29 Getting chest through with speed on downswing and wrist arch. Also worked on some moving the pelvis slightly away in the backswing. Feel like im going too fast and long, looks like it on the recordings too.
    • Interesting that it's no penalty, but then again, I can't imagine someone would purposefully put their foot out there in this situation or one like it.  And then there was the time someone purposefully deflected his own ball during a major, but that's very different too. The only time I can recall a ball I hit hitting another player or their equipment was ages ago -- over a decade and a half ago.  I had a 3' putt for an 89 and someone (a random pairing, not someone I knew) decided it was a good time for goaltending practice.  That wouldn't fall under this rule, though (and it wasn't in a tournament anyway). Thanks for continuing to share these, Dave!  I always find these interesting. 
    • Day 51 (29 Apr 26) - Worked with a few of the golf team kids plus my grandson (he’s too young for the team as it’s middle-high school age and he’ll be 10 Sat).  He put on a small hitting clinic (hitting off the same tees as the rest of the boys) - one of the older kids called him a “coach”.  Worked in a few shots for myself - had the light bag: driver, 7w, 4 - 6 - 8 - Pw - Sw (DCI 962’s except the Sw a 981) and Zebra putter….got in some great tee shots, a couple of recovery and an awesome up and down for bogie: 55 yds out, hitting 4th shot due to 2nd getting tangled in limbs - see the window I need to hit for a tight spinner with the Sw - nail it to a postage letter distance from the cup for a tap in bogie….my kind of practice. 
    • Day 21, April 29.  Before going to work this morning, I worked in my indoor practice room for 20 minutes.   This was entirely 6-iron shots with the usual step.  Video yesterday showed me that I'm still straightening my trail leg too much (leading to the backswing length issue I've been working to fix), so I focused on not doing that in my rehearsal swings.
