I just picked up 2 MacGregor MT Pro in Gunmetal finish ( http://www.golfsmith.com/products/MG...dge_-_Gunmetal ). A 52/8 and a 60/8.

I also just picked up a Snake Eyes 685BX in black finish ( http://www.golfsmith.com/products/CC...nake_Eyes_Grip ). A 56/14 in that one.

The MacGregor's were buy 1 get 1 free in the store, so each one was only $49.50.

The Snake Eyes was only $69.99 in store. But if you are adept at clubmaking (which I am not), you can buy the components for the Snake Eyes and make the club yourself with the exact shaft and grip that you want. Depending on your desired specs, it might come in less, equal, or more than the $70 assembled, but it would of course be custom.

I used all three this weekend when I played a round and so far, so good - especially for the prices.

The MacGregor MT Pro wedges or Adams Tom Watson PVD wedges will be the best bang for the buck. If you'd like more of a premium wedge, you might want to look at some used wedges.

My favorites are Cleveland, Titleist and Mizuno to name a few, there are alot of good wedges out there. From my personal experience, wedges should be fitted for lie angle and length like you irons, especially if you use them for full shots. Also make sure you get the correct bounce for your course conditions.

I'm not a big fan of used wedges because many of the trade-ins are when they're worn out, especially the sand wedge. I think you're better off buying a "new" lower priced wedge than a used premium wedge.

I've recently got a 52 and 60 used vokey off ebay for $100 combined. Both used but I'd say they were both an 8 overall or higher.

The Adams Tom Watson wedges are a really good deal. You can find a 52/56/60 set for around $100 or less at a lot of places. They are nice wedges and hard to beat for the price. Watson himself plays at least one of them and since he's among the best wedge players in history (no one has every scrambled any better than him), I'm inclined to think they must be OK. I friend of mine plays them and likes them a lot.

+1 on the Snake Eyes wedges, I would never have believed this until I tried a friends wedge. I game 2 of them now, a 56 & a 60 and they replaced a 58* Vokey in my bag.

I actually bought a Vokey for 20 bucks used. Sure, it had scuff marks, beat up grip, and a quarter sized wear mark on the face. BUT, that thing was very very sweet and spun the ball like a mad hamster in a rolly ball. In fact its back in my bag. If used is not an option, I saw that there is a pretty inexpensive Nike tour wedge on rockbottom...no experience with those, but my buddy swears by em.

Good post. This is true, you should go with this deal FOR SURE. You get THREE wedges for the price of ONE. It's a no brainer IMO.

You can get Vokey Titleists for pretty cheap now actually, check craigslist some people sell a set of three used for 50-65 bucks.. at least around me they may not be the new spinned mill ones but the old ones are still very nice wedges to have

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By iacas · Posted

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…

      I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
