I'm looking to add either a 56 or 54 degree wedge, as I learned that I was a de lofting my 60, and with my new grip it isn't quite what I want for bump check shots. I play cleveland irons, cleveland woods, and have a 50 degree cleveland gap wedge. My 60 degree is a vokey. The pro told me his personal favorite for spin is the new cg 14. Others have said the cleveland X md grove'd wedge is great. Or maybe another vokey? Thoughts?

In the bag:
Driver: r7 quad v2 stiff
3-Wood: XLS
Hybrid: X
Irons: CG Golds 3-GWSW: x forged 56/13LW: Vokey sm 60/.08Putter: Callie 35''Ball: pro v1

I dont get any amazing check out of the clevland line.. the zip grooves that is, atleast no more than my vokeys.

id recomend the vokeys,taylormade TP's or z's, or the callys, but they chew up balls.


Note this, unless your making good contact, none of these are going to help you spin the ball..

Am I mistaken or are Zip Grooves part of the Cleveland line?

Taylormade does it now they are called the z wedge

I was aware of the Z Grooves, but looking at their website, they arent called Zip Grooves. That is why I got confused.

I'd say Titleist Spin Milled or Taylormade with zip grooves.

Cleveland = Zip Grooves

TaylorMade = Z Grooves C'mon folks, let's get 'em right.

I really didn't like the CG12, weird feel and after reading reviews wasn't really interested in it. TM Z TP gives lots of spin, as well as the Spin Milled. Definatly try both.

      Day 27 (4 Apr 26) - Worked with grandson on basic pitches/punches in the back yard with varied irons/wedges.  Wrapped up the day rolling some putts on the 30’ carpet I can set up in the yard to give varied terrain - and this carpet rolls almost too easy. A great way to figure a read and know that pace has to be near perfect to get in the hole.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      A bit of a struggle today.  Just some thoughts/musings.  For the backswing, it is like I am never going to be moving on from this. I don't know if I can ever get to the point where the backswing isn't like over 1.5 seconds in duration. Which is probably not ideal. I would like to get to the point where I can just fling the arms back and up.  I have to feel like my hands are going to hit my right thigh from P1 to P2. If not then they like to move 2-5 inches towards the ball from P1 to P2. Then it's just bad from there. This feeling is my hands not gaining much depth, just maintaining depth from set up. From the DTL view, the hands head towards the camera.  While I am doing that, hinge the crap out of the club with my wrist only. Hinge in a way that the club is pointing at the camera at P2.  From P2, lift the hands straight up. I can get here, and still roll the club inside and get it way too shallow.  With the downswing. There isn't much here. I still can't get the flow of this or the sequencing of this to line up. It doesn't help that hinging from P1 to P2 just throws off my entire timing as well.
