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*.

http://www.dickssportinggoods.com/product/index.jsp?productId=10813057

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.

      Thank you.  I'll cross it off the list since it isn't going to achieve what I want.

      While it does turn out that both Tiger and Phil are less squeaky clean than I previously believed, I don't think golf quite has the worst in professional sports.  Or maybe they're better at image management.   Obviously I'm not fond of Phil's issue we're discussing in this thread (or his involvement with LIV) or Tiger's choices of how to drive.  I used to really like Dustin Johnson and, even before the LIV situation, we started to hear rumors that he bought more snow than Seward, although I don't think those stories were ever substantiated.  Meanwhile, I did think of Anthony Kim as the "good, bad boy" of the tour for a while fifteen years ago because of his party persona -- and if it turns out the worst he did was show up hung over to play (barring what one thinks of LIV), that's pretty good.  And I'm still happy he found a way to get his life clean. If we contrast that with some other sports I enjoy, I'm sure we could find a nice long list of NFL players that, at one point in my life, I was quite fond of, we get far worse disappointments (to put it mildly).

      Answering that properly would land me in hot water, so I'm not going to. I don't think that many people would do that. I think that in certain circumstances many people would be willing to overlook someone doing that. But I was really referring to what I assumed was Tiger's transgressions (cheating on his wife) not Phil's.

      No! Is a large part of the human population selfish, apathetic and cuts corners in the name of self-preservation 'more than they would like to admit', yes. Degenerate, scum, etc?.. no!! Most humans/men would not grope a woman like Phil is accused of doing (I think he absolutely did). That is scum. I mean what % of men do you think would do that? Seriously??

      I don't think that is true at all. That is off-topic here, I think.
