1)  what is your wedge setup?

2)  i have question...  How does bounce affect distance on a full swing with a wedge?

i bought a 58* nicklaus wedge with 11* bounce.  i also have a set of adams tom watson series wedges (52.07, 56.13, and 60.07).  i am wondering how i might be able to put the 58* into the bag considering that it may be a good option (with its bounce and the fact that im a digger) for chipping and pitching in wet spots on the course...and the 56* isnt my fav. club to chip with...

the 56 goes 110 and the 60 goes 100.  how far will the 58 go considering those distances?

Current wedge setup is: X20 PW 45.06 || CG14: 50.08 | 54.12 | 58.10

Until August, I carried 45, 50, and an XForged 56.14. Might end going back to this if the 4 wedges is too much hassle.

In past, I had bad luck with 60* LWs, but the 58 is easier to hit, and very helpful when I need to drop a "dart" onto a goofy pin placement.

Bounce shouldn't affect distance too much if it's a clean hit. For details on bounce and wedges, check out this Maltby link: http://www.ralphmaltby.com/50

Some teaching pros recommend a little variety in wedge bounce to give you flexibility on shot choice.

I'm playing with a 47* degree PW of my BH Apex FTX set and my CG14 52.10 and 56.11. I've been thinking of buying a 60* degree LW, but I already have 14 clubs in my bag, so I would have to drop either I3 or 22* degree hybrid, just can't decide which one I want to keep! I thought I could play a few rounds in the summer with 15 clubs on me and then look which club combination suits best for me. Any thoughts? What would you do in my position? I really love my i3 :D

    • 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.
