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 criticisms are starting already 🤣 U.S. Open pro criticizes Shinnecock green conditions: 'Bumpy' After playing his first practice round at the 2026 U.S. Open, Michael Kim offered a less-than-glowing review of Shinnecock's "bumpy" greens.   The sand, I don't care about that. If the greens didn't come back as well for latest aerification, that would be a bit of a blunder on Shinnecock I think.   
    • Well, if your frame of reference spins twice during the swing, then Bryson's ab/adduction is more like 780 degrees so there! (Yes I'm being silly, but not sure it's any sillier than what your pal Andy is doing...)
    • Update: Brandon Sorsby has decided to enter the NFL Supplemental Draft. He will not play for Texas Tech in the upcoming season.  From my perspective, I think he did the right thing. I hope he gets the correct help for his gambling addiction. I say the right thing, because I would be worried that the stress from all of this now and throughout the entire year would not be beneficial towards his mental health.  If an NFL team picks him up, then there really isn't any pressure for him to play immediately. He can work on himself and his game for the NFL.  From Texas Tech,  "Texas Tech will continue to provide the support and recovery resources Brendan requires on this journey. Furthermore, Texas Tech will not seek return of any amounts already paid to Brendan through his NIL agreements with the University," Campbell wrote. "We wish our best to Brendan, and we offer our prayers to him and his family as he chases his dreams at the next level. This has been an unbelievably painful experience for us all, but I know that his true, underlying character and lessons learned through this experience will ultimately bring him great success on the field of play and in life." Which, I also the right thing to do.   
    • So, something I noticed yesterday at the range. My eyes and visualization of what the ball needs to do is way off. I put up an alignment stick about 10 yards down range. My initial thought was, "Oh crap". Even while wearing prescription sunglasses, and I know I am hitting it towards the sun, I couldn't pick up where the ball was at all. 
    • Oh man. As you can see above, Manavian mocked me for not realizing they were getting the 130° from BOTH shoulders. Apparently, though, Manavian is also wrong, as Andy said I was lying when I cited what Manavian had written: The next thing Andy says that's both accurate and clearly stated will be the first. I replied to that post with something like: Tell Manavian who said "only counting the abduction/adduction of one shoulder rather than 2." One of the issues with “bad” information is that y’all can’t even get on the same page. You've not shown that Bryson has 130° range of motion in either shoulder separately P1 to P7. I’ve shown the numbers. You’ve name-called and just said “nuh uh” repeatedly. Did you see the AMG IG video? Of course you have. Wrapping your head around the distance the shoulder travels yet, Andy? Andy later commented to explain how he got his range of motion number (apologies to whoever @iacac and @icaca are on Instagram, who are going to be wondering just what in the hell they've gotten themselves into). Oh boy. Adding the numbers in one direction and then adding them again going back is not a "range" of motion. If I can bend my knees 140°, I don't claim to have 280° range of motion because I have two knees nor because I can also extend my knees 140° after bending them. Bryson (with a driver, again — I used his iron swing) abducts about 65° (and bends his elbow a ton) with the driver. Then he adducts 50… and then another 15°… to end up right back where he started. This is exactly the equivalent of saying that I bend my knees 140° and then straighten them, creating a range of 280°. It's so silly I don't even have much of a response. It falls down completely on its own. It doesn't need even a nudge.
