andef,

Oh I wasn't going against your statement. And my original question was referred to the OP, my bad for not making it very clear. I was just trying to describe my experience with the V grooves. I have a driver clubhead speed of 105 mph, but I would say they spin the right amount and only a few times more than needed. Mostly cuz I hardly play full-shots with my wedges. Sunday I was playing a 70% 54* wedge from wet rough and spun it back 6 feet, obviously not wat I was counting on. I understand their argument, but it's rarely the case for me. My answer will be more exact when I order my new Vokeys, those will have the CC grooves and shots out of the rough will be somewhat difference

well it was taking weeks for dicks sporting goods to get my order in on the mp t 11 so I just cancelled it and they put the money back on my credit card, when I originally paid with the gift card; not going to complain about that. Picked up a mp-t 10 instead at TGW.com

If you want forged and the old grooves you could always just buy an MP T-10.

thats what I did. I only had a dicks sporting goods gift card so I couldnt get the mp-t 10. luckily they credited back my credit card instead of another gift card, so I picked up the mp-t 10 elseware

btw I saw the new grooves on a wedge and they look really shallow compared to other wedges with old grooves. Bigger difference than looking at a 3-pw new grooves

Hit the mp-t 10 at the range today and I really like it. Its a 60/05 degree wedge and for some reason I hit it just as far as my 56 degree sandwedge. I was going for this flag, not sure how far out, and I would hit my 60 degree wedge with a full strong swing and it would land near the pin. So I pulled out my 56 degree wedge and hit it as hard as I could and it landed by that same pin, lol. This happened over and over again. I dont know whats going on, Im hitting a lob wedge as far as my sand wedge, weird. Although my sandwedge has a ping shaft and the mizuno has the dynamic gold, so maybe thats it. Either way I like the dynamic gold

when it coems to wedges, its really the trajectory that changes, not so much the distance. for me, all three, 52, 56, 60 go about the same, maybe 5-10 yard difference. they all go about 100-110 yards... the 60 goes higher and i'd never use it on full swing shots. its a specialty club for special situations that requires intricate wedge work like high flopshots, etc.

Among my other assorted wedges, is a Mizuno Pro 3-wedge set I bought in ~ 1995 (might have been '94 - either way they were damned pricey for the time). Since they're set up essentially identical except varying lofts, they're a good indication of how I'm hitting wedges at any given time. When I use an armsy swing, the 60 is a solid 60 yards. A full swing is bang on 80 yards. The 56 is 90 and 105. I got the 52 bent to 50.5 and it's my 115 and 125 yard wedge.

Experience tells me that if my wedges are going the same distance I'm making a different swing with them or I'm not making clean contact.

Mizuno MP600 driver, Cleveland '09 Launcher 3-wood, Callaway FTiz 18 degree hybrid, Cleveland TA1 3-9, Scratch SS8620 47, 53, 58, Cleveland Classic 2 mid-mallet, Bridgestone B330S, Sun Mountain four5.

yea Im sure its just swinging a little different. I was probably just a little surprised at how much distance I got out of the lob wedge. I was thinking I was only going to get like 40-50 yards but I got more.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus.

      I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
