A local store has a Cleveland CG14 56* wedge used in Good shape for $32. Just debating it because the SW in my Bag now is 55*. would anyone buy it and use both the SW and the 56*, or buy it And only use the Cleveland wedge, or not buy it at all given The 1* difference?

I wouldn't spend the money simply  because the grooves on the CG14 are non-conforming and the yardage distance wouldn't be that different so it would almost be like you were hitting the 55 degree. That's just my personal opinion.

See, thats what i was thinking. I know Cleveland makes great wedges which is why i was considering it, but then i thought about it and its not much different from anything i have so.

Don't be concerned about the pre-2010 grooves unless you're going to play in national-level USGA championships. The average golfer can use the pre-2010 grooved clubs until 2024.

Now, the CG14 line got reloaded last year with "TourZip Grooves" which are conforming. These wedges have "Tour Zip" on their heads, and generally have gel inserts which are black rather than original gold. You could play these after 2024, but would likely wear out the head in the sand well before then.

I know a club repair instructor who carries two 56* SWs, but with different head designs and shafts. One is low bounce (used as more of a LW) and the other is high-bounce (comes out of bunkers).

Any particular problem with your 55*?

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.

      Day 128 12-18 Worked on rotation and getting to lead side. Still working on the flow feeling while doing that. Recorded swings.

      IMO-the only thing entertaining was the relay race. Everything else was excruciatingly boring...or just  stupid, like the 14-club thing. Watching guys blade wedges into the water over and over is not at all interesting.
