I am deciding between these:

http://www.dickssportinggoods.com/pr...ductId=3455783

http://www.dickssportinggoods.com/pr...ductId=2892681

http://www.dickssportinggoods.com/pr...ductId=2532055

This will be the first time I buy good clubs. I am just buying a SW for right now. I know I need mid bounce, but all I have is an Orlimar Black Ice PW, and a no name 60*. Should I get a 56* or 54*. Also, which one of the above clubs creates the best spin? Or are they basically the same?

A quote from Kris
...is that college bball really isn't "lower tier". The better teams have their rosters filled with guys who could play in the NBA. hell, guys used to come straight from high school to the NBA. I really don't think there's much of a difference skill-wise between the two.

i would say that the cleveland gets the most spin but you should seriously look at the new BV wedges. every magazine is giving them amazing reviews and he has a good history. those are going to be my next wedges hopefully in time for next high school season.

What I Play:
Titleist 910 D3 9.5* Diamana 'ahina X-stiff  | Titleist 909f2 13.5* x-stiff | Taylormade Rescue 19* steel shaft stiff |
Titleist ZB 3-PW S300 | Titleist BV SM 52-08 58-12  | 34" Scotty Cameron California Del Mar | Penta TP

I'll be able to fairly evaluate the PING Tour-W by this weekend...hopefully...depending on my friggin' left knee.

The golf shop left a message late this afternoon that my LW had arrived.


Fun stuff....new sticks.


If I'm half as happy as my father was with his new Vokeys then all is well.
909D Comp 9.5* (house MATRIX OZIK XCON-6)
Burner Superfast 3 & 5 woods (house MATRIX OZIK XCON-4.8)
G15 Hybrid 23* (AWT shaft)
G5 5 iron-PW-46*, UW-50*, SW-54 & LW-58 (AWT shaft)

I agree with above, tried the CG14's and they are super easy to hit and stop well.

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
