If I were you I would definately not be looking at a 64° not many tour players carry that yet alone casual golfers (not saying it won't work for you just suggesting) it would be a tough club to hit and unless you have a super fine touch around the green with it your better off saving your money and sticking with the 56° and 60°.  As for the the model of wedge I've heard good things about Vokey wedges as well as cleveland wedges.  I'm sure there are many others, id say try a few out at a putting green or something chip with them see how they feel.

A 52, 56, and 60 might be a good combo for you. That's what I have.

I agree the 64, well only Phil can hit that one! Still thinking about that flop shot he hit on 15th.

All mine are Titleist Vokey SM4s. They are simply awesome.

I disagree. While I pretty much only use my 64 for around the green I find it to be a great club to have. Instead of having to open the face on a 60 and hit a risky flop shot I can open the face a little (do it for all pitch shots) and hit and normal pitch shot and because of the added loft take a bigger swing to make the ball land softer.

I have the Cleveland CG16 and they are amazing. They give you nice touch and spin around the greens and are great on full wedge shots. Vokey wedges are nice but might chew up the cover on your ball quicker than the Cleveland wedges.

I agree with xmanhockey7. I bought a 64 off ebay last year, and it has been an awesome club around the green. When I put it into the bag I was unsure how long it was last because of all of the warnings I'd read against ultra-high lofted wedges, but if I've used the club 30 times since I purchased it, it's worked out great for at least 25/30 of those shots.

I used to carry a 68 degree and it was a tough club to hit solidly because of how extreme the loft was.  If you really need that much loft, just open up the face on your 58 or 60 degree wedge.

Whats in my :sunmountain: C-130 cart bag?

I don't even know where to begin to think about a club like that, could you use it on full shots? what would it go 50 yards?

I don't even think it would go that far for me. It would probably be like my flop shot that travels 20 yards and is sky high.

      No, but I'm also in disagreement that golfers have no thoughts over the golf ball, and/or don't ever think I've met someone I truly believe is thinking nothing but "target" or something on most shots.

      Too Old?

      By RetiredOldMan · Posted

      StuM,  I have, in the past, added a left handed club. (Ususally a 7 iron) However, I usually take a stroke penalty and move the ball to where I want it.  I play for fun and in a pinch can use theback side if my club if I don't want the penalty stroke.    RetiredOldMan,  Terry

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      By saevel25 · Posted

      So, Brendan Sorsby, Texas Tech transfer QB, was found guilty of sports betting by the NCAA. He admitted to it. He placed thousands of bets over multiple years while at Indiana and Cincinnati. This included betting on his own teams.  The NCAA rules ban athletes from betting on any sport (college or pro).  A retired visiting judge from Tarrant County, Texas has put an injunction on the NCAA ruling. He is a visiting judge because the first judge was a graduate and big fan of Texas Tech, and he recused himself. The judged ruled the following... "Under Curry's order, Sorsby is permitted to play for Texas Tech's 2026 season on the condition that he continues his treatment for a gambling and anxiety disorder and serves a two-game suspension (missing games against Abilene Christian and Oregon State)."  Don't get me wrong, I don't particularly care for the NCAA. That still doesn't mean that a college can choose when or where to say, "Yea we agree to these rules for all our sports, well except in this case." Here is a breakdown from S&W. The Hidden Weapon in Sorsby’s Injunction: How a Lubbock County Court Order Quietly Neutralized the NCAA’s Most Powerful Enforcement Tool - Law Offices of Snell & Wilmer By Ryan J. Regula On June 8, 2026, Lubbock County District Court Judge Ken Curry issued a temporary injunction in Brendan Sorsby v. National Collegiate Athletic Association, Cause No. DC-2026-CV-0791 (99th Judicial District... The main judgement made sense. Sorsby, I am going to have all this harm done to me if I don't get to play. The Judge, I agree. The penalty for gambling is too harsh, so here are all these things you must do, and I will grant this injunction against the NCAA. Basically, an analogy would be when a person goes into court for a DUI and they agree to all these other things to not end up in jail.  What sucks for the NCAA is the NCAA has appealed to Texas’ Seventh Court of Appeals, based in Amarillo. All four justices that preside over the court are graduates of Texas Tech University School of Law. It would be hilarious if all four of them had to recuse themselves 🤣. For those who like to read legal rulings...

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By StuM · Posted

      The chatter in my brain is when the distance is between clubs since I am pretty weak at shortened backswings, etc. I try to simply decide if being long or short is the better outcome and choose my club based on that and simply not even try for the “real” distance.  For me a full normal swing is what I strive for.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I saw this comment made in a golf article... "Most golfers stand over a 4- or 5-iron still negotiating with themselves. They think about how hard to swing, whether they have the right club, if they have the aim correct and more. It’s a lot to deal with and long irons punish the “half-in” golf swing." I am not sure the "most golfers" is correct regarding the bolded part. I can understand if there is a bunker, water, and/or OB that a lot of golfers would be fixated on that. I am not sure that leads to ending up more times there. Pending your level in golf, the variance is so large in outcomes, it could be just with in the expected outcomes. I can understand if have a big lake on the right side of the hole being one of the most terrifying shots for right-handed amateur golfers.  I am not sure many golfers are standing over the ball talking to themselves, "Ok, maybe I should step back and pull the 4-iron. Am I lined up right? Oh, the wind came up, should I swing harder? What am I going to have for dinner tonight, maybe steak. (Joking, somewhat 😛)" A question is that how much chatter do you get while standing over the ball. Are you questioning the everything about your golf shot?
