Hello.

This is my own opinion,

I am a 5 handicap, when i was growing up i hated golf it was the worse thing ever invented, however when i was 16 i watched my dad play and he taught me well since then i got hooked, i went up after school to the council courses in scotland to hi the same club every day which was a 5 iron, and now 9 years later i am 5 handcp, alot people ask me how i got good i say practice all these golfers coming in today need to relax and practice i have seen people tearing up these great course but cant play, so practice first,

in regards to the wedges i have a set of nike vr blades 4-sw, i also have the taylor made r11 driver and the mizuno 3 and 5 wood, also have a grosso putter from taylormade, however they are nothing compared to the £20 wedges i bought, i bought a slazanger 56 degree, a mitsubshi 58 and 60, not matter how you hit the ball or your touch it will always produce the slazanger is a bit off sometimes but you have to open the club face, but i only use them around the greens, now and again i will use it for an approach shot of maybe 120- yards. so if people struggle go to your local jjb, golf shop, pro etc, feel the club swing it, and see how it goes,

Although now I am a 5 handicap, when I was growing up I hated golf! To me, it was the worst thing ever invented. However, when i was 16 I watched my dad play and he taught me well. Since then i got hooked! I went up after school to the council courses in Scotland to hit the same club every day (which was a 5 iron), and now 9 years later I am 5 handicap! When people ask me how I got to be good, I say "practice". All these golfers coming into the game today need to relax and practice. I have seen people tearing up these great courses but can't play properly. So it's important to practice first!

I have a set of Nike VR blades 4-sw, a Taylormade R11 driver and Mizuno 3 and 5 woods. I also have a Rossa putter from Taylormade. However they are nothing compared to the £20 wedges i bought: a Slazenger 56 degree, a Mitsubishi 58 and 60. No matter how you hit the ball or your touch, these will always produce. The Slazenger can be a bit off sometimes, but you have to open the club face up to get it to really work. I only use wedges around the greens, although now and again I will use it for an approach shot of maybe 120 yards. So if you're  struggling with your short game, go to your local jjb (golf shop, pro etc) to feel the club, swing it, and see how it goes!
