So as you can see in my signature I play with 4 wedges. I could afford this because i didnt have a 3 wood for a long time. Now the course i just joined i need a 3 wood. So i bought one but now ive gotta give up one of my wedges. I think my plan is to get rid of the 49 and 53 to get a 51.

What is everybody playing loft wise in the 50,51,52 area?

I love my 53* but the gap from my PW to that is huge. And i suck at taking a less then full swing with my PW

I faced the same issue and opted to drop the 56 and 60 in favor of a 58. It was a good decision for me and is what I see many pros and Stan Utley doing.

    • Which was his second hole, yeah. I talked with Mav's coach/instructor last night, ha ha.
    • Yikes! Colin Morikawa withdraws on 11th tee after the practice swing made his lower back twinge.

    • My flop shots are 6-7° down (AoA). Does that answer it? 😄  The longer answer is… You have to be able to do both shots.
    • I hope you don't mind me raising this one from the dead. I got shortgamechef's video access thing for a few months in 2024. I watched his yip fix videos (the general gist is similar to the first video above, but with a lot more detail) and it made a lot of sense. I was working on it in my backyard off a mat for a while and my yippy thing was mostly gone. Aside from anything else, the flop shot using that technique is so easy and controllable. But I got onto a golf course for the first time of the year and found myself by the green on a downslope with the ball sitting down a little in the rough and I was, not to put too fine a point on it, f***ed. Shallow is all well and good from a good flat lie and I understand it, but you can't make that your be all and end all. I still don't know if it's a good idea to use steep all the time or just when you need to. I have a hard enough time with one technique, let alone too.  Just got a pitching skillest lesson with Erik and unless I misunderstood things some, he wants me a bit steeper. @iacas - where do you fall on the steep vs shallow argument and how do you vary it according to need?
