No offense or anything but I'll never understand playing 3 different kinds of wedges. I'd think most people would like their wedges to be pretty uniform across the board.

It's probably up to him to game whatever he wants. If it suits him, who cares?

Just posing a question. You wouldn't play 8 different irons would you?

I play three different wedges because they provide me with the characteristics I need. My 52 plays like one of my irons and allows my to hit a low pitch shot with spin. My 56 has very little grooves, and it allows me to change the trajectory and allow it to roll out. My 60 is used as a special shot club, and it spins like nothing you have ever seen.

So what, I like them all. I don't get the point of having a spin milled pitching wedge........ Oh wait, just posing a question.

I like the feel of Vokeys and wasn't happy with my former PW.

    • Day 252: worked on chipping for a while with my chipping net. Worked on low, medium, and high shots. Productive session. 
    • Day 180 - 2025-03-29 Not a long time today, but I got my five minutes in jumping and doing some work on the downswing.
    • I’ll just stick to the basics for now - got enough to work on… this is my home practice range. The little clearing in about the center of the photo is roughly 200 yards. 
    • It kills me to link to Twitter but this is 👀 👀 👀  https://x.com/wiley77/status/1906071723402797059
    • Played Musgrove Mill today. 72.3/155. +9 for 15 official holes as 2 holes are closed, and the par 5 16th plays as a converted par 3. We played the first three holes over to finish 18, and parred 1 and2 amped bogeyed 3. The good: hit every fairway. 1 less than normal for the converted par 3, but the second time I have done that this year. My sand wedge approach on 10 after a monster drive hit the pin in the back left corner hit he pin and spun away to 9’, and I missed the putt.   The great: hit 8 GIR and 7 were inside 10’. Needs work: Missed every birdie putt. No lip-outs. Just struggled on fast greens. Three-putted the par-5 9th with the pin on the back tier and jut missed hitting my approach to the proper level and it spun all the way to the front of the green.
