I'm still on 2 wedges, but I'm at 13 even after the new SW shows up. Thinking about adding an AW in there.

I'd say most people I know have given up on the 3i as the distance is similar to a hybrid they are carrying. And yes, technically, four wedges is the way I would go. I really consider the PW to be a 10i. The 50-52, 54-56, and 58-60 are the true "wedges". The plus 60's are bit of overkill in my book. If you have a 60 with little bounce you can lay that baby wide open and hit it almost straight up. Right now I'm playing a 52 and 58 and my short game with them has been good. I'm still getting used to the bounce on the 58 as my previous LW had very little bounce. The biggest adjustment is the sand. But it's all good.

What have been the differences you find between your LW old and new....new with more bounce?

What types of shots have been easier and tougher? I ask this because I'm playing a relatively low bounce lob but was looking at some with higher bounce angles but didn't know if I'd still be able to open the face as easy.

    • Day 23: weird day, and only had a little bit of time. Just did mirror work again, working on where the elbow is in the downswing 
    • I flipped over to this tonight and thoroughly enjoyed it. Anyone else watch? I picked it up during the golf relay event, but seeing these pros out having fun in alternative events was refreshing and entertaining. I’m sure it will be on in reruns in the next week or so, so I won’t spoil the outcome. Im curious what others thought of it. I’m recording it’s later airing to see the beginning. 
    • Day 443 - 2025-12-17 Made a few swings in testing some things out at another academy. Might pop up on someone else's podcast in a few weeks.
    • Day 37 (17 Dec 25) - nine hole round with my good friend.  We got paired up with a couple of the men’s group regulars as part of their shootout.  Started off with a wonderful quad bogie and then a dbl on three to be six over thru three holes.  Game went 180° over the next five as I shot one under (including a chip in birdie on hole six and four up and down 1 putt pars) for a net finish of five over. What could have been a really tough nine became a solid finish due to staying in the moment and not checking out.  Great day in course management and keeping perspective .
    • Day 127 12-17 Backswing and flow practice. Took advantage of the 60 degeee weather(it was 20 degrees Sunday)
