You need The Spin Doctor wedge!

Haha, a friend of mine got one of those on eBay just as a screw around club, and even in Alaska I can spin the ball back a mile.

Here's what I play:

Titleist 907 D2 10.5* UST ProForce V2 76-S | Titleist 906F4 18.5* Aldila VS Proto "By You" 80-S | Titleist 585H 21* Aldila VS Proto "By You" 80-S | Titleist ZB 4-PW TTDG S300 | Bob Vokey Spin Milled Oil Can 54.10 | Bob Vokey Spin Milled Oil Can 60.08 | Scotty Cameron Red X5 33" |

A lot of wedges (and irons) when brand new have a slight sandblasting applied to the face during manufacturing that is very "grippy" and this wears off pretty quickly. I don't know about the Z TP wedges but most of the TM wedges I have seen in the past do have sandblasting applied during manufacture.

I'm going to agree with the "its you" thing, lol. Sorry, I had the same problem earlier this year with my new CG14's (54, 60). I realized that I got a bit lazy with my shots because the brand new clubs were stopping crappy balls on the greens like they were balatas. So, a month later, I'm not getting the ball to check up, from perfect lies at perfect distances. I just got comfortable, and lazy, went to the range a couple times and practiced, got back to hitting the shortsticks correctly.

Don't sweat it, just give 'em an extra bucket of love

Dent it is possible that you are releasing your hands a bit better with the wedge and are hitting very little draws. Before you may have been hitting a fade with your wedge which creates a little backspin. But I could be wrong

Driver: Taylormade R11 set to 8*
3 Wood: R9 15* Motore Stiff
Hybrid: 19° 909 H Voodoo
Irons: 4-PW AP2 Project X 5.5
52*, 60* Vokey SM Chrome

Putter: Odyssey XG #7

Ball: Titleist Pro V1x

      Wow that was disingenuous. Like, let’s ignore that golfers actually rotate. It isn’t all side bend. Has incorrect or excessive side bend hurt golfers sure. In no way are golfers taught to just fling their hips towards the target. To basically claim it’s him versus this evil golf instruction industry is just disingenuous.

      I'm starting to move with some speed and confidence. Carried the fairway bunker 225 yards out on the 17th yesterday fairly comfortably. I don't think it was a one off drive either. Pretty much back to game speed. On another note it doesn't seem like my pelvis is nearly as thrusty compared to a this time last year. I hope I'm judging that correctly. It's an ongoing battle.
