I was at the galaxy this evening looking for a wedge to buy a buddy for his birthday and I came across the Adams Tom Watson series wedges.  These things are gorgeous with their classic lines and mirror finish.  Also, they're $50 a piece which would make it easy to get him a set.

Has anyone played these or have any opinions about them?  If people like them I may actually buy myself a set as well at that price.

My LW is from last year's version of these.  It's nice, as far as Lob Wedges go.  I'm sure if it were any other loft, I'd use it more often.  It is nice, in looks and in how it works.

Got two (SW and LW) in my bag right now.  As good or better than the other wedges I've got (Vokey, MT Pro, JAWS).

theyve worked well for me.  i now only use the LW out of the group, but the other two were good.  they just dont come with lots of options when it comes to lofts and bounce angles.

I played the previous version which seem to be similar and they were great when I had them. Definitely give them a go!

I actually stumbled across the deal of the day on rockbottomgolf.com and got the 3 wedge set for $59.99. They are now $99.99.

Played them for the first time this weekend and I was vastly impressed.

I bought the previous generation of the three-wedge set but have only retained the SW (56).  I didn't like the gap wedge, nor the LW, at all.  They both seemed to be a little too light for my tastes.  The SW has been excellent though.  I use it a lot from 60 yds in, and like it a  lot for chipping when I need some loft, but not the extreme of the LW.

Durable and well-designed. Also, the G, S, and L trio give you a good mix of bounce choices for different shots.

I played the previous version of these for several years in SW and LW for several years.  I really don't see much difference with my newer clubs, especially in the LW.  Their strength for me was in chipping,and partial shots, not quite as forgiving on full shots as my current set.

I saw the wedge set for around $100 at GolfClubs.com this weekend, might be something to check out. I played a friend of mine's and I would definitely say go for them and get at a present, great set of classic wedges.

I have a recent incarnation (2 years old now, I think) of the 56° sand wedge.  I like it a lot.

It has a very different feel than most of the other wedges (Vokey, CGxx, etc), much lighter swingweight.  That suits me fine, and particularly matched well with my old graphite-shafted irons.  I am less excited about it now, but for the price for a quality new wedge, it was a great deal.  Other $30ish single wedges are far less well built, IMO.

In the bag:
FT-iQ 10° driver, FT 21° neutral 3H
T-Zoid Forged 15° 3W, MX-23 4-PW
Harmonized 52° GW, Tom Watson 56° SW, X-Forged Vintage 60° LW
White Hot XG #1 Putter, 33"

      Looking for a Possible Equipment Switch

      By WUTiger · Posted

      You might also consider a tune-up lesson. Check and see if anything in your set-up or basic swing is holding you back. I have been playing for more than five decades, but on occasion I've had to make swing tweaks due to age, loss of flexibility, etc. You don't have to reinvent your swing. A couple of static set-up changes might really help out.

      Minimum Exercise for Strength and Muscle Growth

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Good advice. In general, you want to take whatever weight you are lifting to a couple of reps before failure, for muscle growth. There are other tactics for PT related stuff. I would trust your PT person.  For muscle growth, you can go like 30 reps to failure. It is tougher to gauge. Also, it takes 2x as long to do the same number of working sets per week if you are doing 15 instead. It is way less efficient, but your case is special because of the injury/aggravation to the hip.

      Ever Get Paired up With a Twosome Including a 2 Year Old?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)

      Minimum Exercise for Strength and Muscle Growth

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Caution for the seniors on weight training: Listen to your body. (I'm 75) I got a recent session with an orthopedist after a training-related injury. I put too much weight on a new resistance machine at the gym and ended up with bursitis in my left hip. Of course, it's the hip I dislocated back in 2023. I have my first physical therapy session tomorrow. I remarked that some days I can do 45 lbs. chest press - two sets - without much effort. But other days it drops down to 30 (😩) with just one set. (Complicating factor: I had digestive problems in this fall and lost about 20 lbs., with slip in muscle tone.) Orthopedist said that I want to feel some resistence, but that I should go with lots of reps with manageable weights rather than trying to set some sort of lift-pound record. I'm sure I'll get some refinements on lifting during tomorrow's PT.
