Here is my dilemna...
new course has elevated greens.
I am constantly off the green 10 yards or so...
BUT often on an uphill slope &/or going over trap...
Greens are firm with only 15 foot or so of stopping room...
if not you roll off the ofter side facing the same or longer shot...
Will a 60* wedge help?? Will the uphill slope be a problem for a 60*???
Should I forget the wedge and go to a softer, spin type ball????
If I do go to the wedge (I like buying equipment)
what bounce should I consider??? Again the uphill lies are on firm ground????
Vokey 60/6 Vokey60/8 oil can vs raw ????
Thanks.

I love my 60* and depend on it for a majority of my shots from 70yards and in. For me it is easier to varying shot by delofting the club than it is to open a 56* club up for high soft shots. I've spent countless hours practicing with my 60* do I'm fairly confident with it. Out of those, I would go with the Vokey 60/6 raw...

If you're playing on firm conditions, you want something like a low bounce so it'll dig a little and not skim off the ground causing you to blade it. Go with something in the 5 or 6 degree bounce range.

thats really good advice... I have high bounces on all my wedges because I tend to go left or right if I miss and I really try to stay away from being short in the fairway... because with the high bounce I blade a lot of shots

    • Day 170: did the yardstick putting drill. 
    • Day 2 1 hour of range work, muni range in Van Nuys. Focusing still on weight shift, starting forward shift earlier. Seeing some progress. Little bit of chipping work.
    • I wish! Double quotes are inches and a single quote is feet! It was just 11 inches, my friend, @ChetlovesMer!    Day 4 1/3/25  Indoor chipping and weight shift drills. Will putt through 50 mm  gates rom 11 inches before bed.

    • Day 244 (3 Jan 24) - Friday men’s group round - a really solid front nine at one over 37 from the gold tees. Out of the 8 pars - six were up and downs…the lone bogie included a water ball penalty stroke.  At the turn, game shifted to my typical reality as it was a 45 with open and close dbls on 10 and 18, with five bogies and two pars strewn in between. Still a solid 82 overall - with 28 total putts (incl one 3 putt) 5 GIR and 5 nGIR.   Oh the highlight of the day - the ladies’ teaching pro was in our foursome and she was very complimentary of my overall approach and wedge game.  It made those drills in the backyard well worth the time spent.
