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.

really? I seem to hit it very well, with a high trajectery.
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 622 - 2026-06-16 Played 16 holes. We skipped 10 and 11. Backswing is good. Most of the time.
    • Day 287 6-16 Full, fast swings with controlling low point. Did ok just wasnt feeling it tonight. Recorded swing, no ball.
    • I'm good with the bunkers, and the fairways are SUPER wide. Three yards should stop a ball that isn't landing in it from rolling into the hay.
    • I'm a little behind, but I just finished listening to the episode about practicing while on vacation.  I have two vacations coming up this month that I won't be bringing golf clubs with me on, and this was perfectly timed (I'm sure I am not the only one going on vacation in June).   Especially the part about stretching.  I keep putting off adding stretching, with golf in mind, to my daily routine.  I think I'm going to use these upcoming vacations, the first of which I'm flying off to on Thursday, as a way to get into this habit.   For anyone else interested, Fit For Golf (see sidebar) has fantastic stretching routines (some of which, I think, are on their free area).  I really should get back to doing their main exercises too.  I don't have any affiliation with them beyond "satisfied customer," in case that sounds like an ad. I may end up posting in the 5 minutes thread when I do golf stretches if it's my only practice that day... as if I don't already sound like a broken mp3 with my 10-15 minutes hitting indoors part. And back to the topic:  anyone not caught up on the podcast should consider catching up and listen to that episode, especially if you're going on a non-golf vacation this summer and want some practice ideas that aren't the at-home practice routine from LSW about long bunker shots (which I am sure we all do regularly).
    • Mostly pull cuts to slices. Some random pull draw/hooks pending of I hit the toe.
