I played a round yesterday and really it was so-so
But the one thing that was on was my short game!!!!!!
I was killing it with my bb 06 sand wedge.
Now I'm kind of looking into a lob wedge.
I'm about a 25 hp now but hopeful that will be going down soon.
What do you guys think???

Killing it how? Sending it too far with a sand wedge? What are the lofts on your PW, GW, and SW (or the subset of which that you carry)? General advice is to keep wedge lofts roughly evenly spaced. That's what my pro told me and that's what I keep seeing on this board.

No killing it meaning I was doing very well.
Like 10 feet from the pin or better:)

I've always considered my SW, just that, something for the sand. If you hit it well with that much bounce, maybe you should look at a higher bounce wedge.

I have a buddy stationed in Cheyenne. Haven't been there yet though.

will a lower bouce make it that much easier???
I'm not sure Exactly how bounce works.
And yeah cheyenne isn't exactly set up for golf :(

ive heard several times people say stuff like u shouldnt always carry a lob wedge, or its just a "show-off" club. i think its crap, i love my lob wedge, from 70yrds and in its almost all i use, its great out of the bunker to a quick and tight pin too. the only 60 ive owned is the callaway xtour 60, with the pm grind:great wedge, but not really for a 25handicap i dont think(not very good on mishits). maybe try a cleveland wedge like the cg-11, it should be forgiving and nice. good luck

    • Day 128: 5/3/24 Spent 10 minutes chipping and putting at The Creek golf course after visiting a relative.  Greens are slow, and I putted quite well. Perhaps I should seek courses with much slower greens!
    • Not to take away from the OP's question but the Snell 3.0 is about all you could ask for in a ball. I'm not a paid spokesman and my opinion does not reflect on the owner of the site. Lexi Thompson could beat most people with a Top Flite, or a Nitro. Ben Griffin? He doesn't offer a lot of street cred so I'll pass. Now if Fat Perez or Heavy Ballesteros start using it then?????? 😀
    • Just read that Peter Oosterhuis passed away. He was the one and only celebrity I have asked for an autograph! In September 2007, I was in the Charlotte Airport awaiting a flight reading my October 2007 Golf Magazine. It was during the FedEx playoffs and Tiger had just won the previous tournament with the Tour Championship the next event. I watched the event listening to the dulcet tones of Peter Oosterhuis, among others. I opened the magazine, and started reading an article about Oosterhuis and the opening picture had him posing as James Bond in a movie’s opening sequence. I looked up from the article and he was sitting directly across from me!    I approached and showed him the article and asked if he would sign the photo. Mr. Oosterhuis asked “Are you keen on golf?” When I responded positively, we spoke for about 10 minutes discussing the fact that both Phil and Tiger had won FedEx events prior to the Tour Championship. He was very gracious and a wonderful storyteller. I was saddened by his battles with dementia and missed him on CBS’s telecasts. 
    • Day 50. Hand path follow through and face control technique work. 🤯 in a good way. 
    • I have been playing the Tour X for several years and find it to be a great ball. I buy them at Golf Galaxy and they often run sales. Was able you buy a box of 48 for $90 after applying a coupon from Dick’s Sporting Goods. I am a big fan!
