I did have a 56* before.. but it was a sand wedge type.. and the head was really heavy.. the shape was more rounded as well.. it was just a nightmare. it really didn't have the touch i wanted.. and i knew i needed something else.

I'm not sure what the bounce is on the club in my first post.. but i doubt its much, it's more like a blade type.  Really don't think I should roll with the 60*, you gents are making solid claims against it.

I will purchase the 58* tomorrow and practice a bit before my round on Monday.

think it will be the best of both worlds. I'll update the thread with my feelings and progress, if you will, with the club.

Agree with the bump and run comment.. I need to use that a bit more.. I feel like I try too hard to just see it pop and stop.

Just give a try and see if it works. I've seen 10 HDCPs who can't hit a LW, and 25 HDCPs who can.

Also, do you have a SW?

Well.. I guess you can say this club is my sand wedge when I'm near. It's the 56* wedge that I have that I mentioned above. The one I despise and has a heavy head. [which does well in sand]

The exact club [below]

I'd consider another 56* wedge with a higher bounce. 14* or so. Stay away from the goofy type "specialty" wedge like this one that you hate......really designed for people who can't or are unwilling to learn how to play out of the sand. I think you'll find that a 56* wedge, opened up makes a fine lob wedge and will make a natural addition to your gap wedge.

So I went to Dicks today to pick up the 58* or 60* Acuity wedge in the first post.. but I went there and they only had the 60*.. although it was what I wanted.. I just felt like I really shouldn't get the 60*.

I look over and see the Maxfli C3 Buy one Get one wedges.. I see 58*, 56*, 54*, 52*, and 50*.

I decided to go with the 58* [yay] so the best of both worlds of a 60 and 56..  and since I already have a Gap Wedge that is roughly a 52*..  I got the 54*.

So..  wedges done. $80 each.. BOGO, -$25 because of my coupons.

Hooray.

    • Watched the whole season of Fallout. Loved it. It's got some warts but they absolutely nailed the feel of the universe. The best series I've watched since The Last of Us. 
    • This topic can be whatever you'd like it to be. If you're working with an instructor, you may have to mention it occasionally, but people will respect that and you can use this as a diary of sorts.
    • Look at Kevin trying to rationalize his small minority vote. 😄 
    • It's all good, man. I appreciate the discussion.   The hole slopes right, towards the penalty area. That's the part just past the cart path that isn't mowed. You can land a ball on the fairway that ends up in it if the ground is firm enough.  Everything that's brown in the satellite image isn't rough. It's fescue, which even during this time of year is tall enough that just finding a ball in it can be hard. Bunkers might as have red stakes around them - I read that in a book, once. So having set that table, here's what the shot cone looks like if I try to play for what you're suggesting: I just don't see that as the optimal play. I need to get out of there with no worse than 5, not try to make 3 and end up with 6 or more. It's a short hole and my strength is in my iron play. I'm actually oddly not much better from 50-100 yards than I am from 100-150 yards. It's like a 4% difference in green success rate and 8' closer in proximity. I don't see that as worth putting trouble into play off the tee for.
