Pitch - 48*
Sand - 56*
Lob - 60*

I've come to rely on my 56* for the 75-100 yards.

I have all 4 and use them all depending on the type of shot I'm faced with. In terms of my chipping I use my GW for the bump and runs, where I know what the fringe will do. If I'm in thicker rough or have an uphill lie (like in the grassy face of a bunker) I'll use my SW. If I need to clear the rough and land it on the green I'll hit my LW.

the king of my bag is the GW. I carry a lob but (as my coach say) it is in the bag just to look cool.

Other... where the heck is the flop wedge choice???

Things I Am Good at in Golf

- Hitting it in the drink
- Finding the rough with my drive
- Staying in the bunker- Hitting grassburners all the way to the hole- Three putting- Posting over par on 18 in only 9 holes- Swinging and missing with an iron

i have a question, when u are about 5-15ft away from the green what do u use? i use my pitching wedge, guess ive never really tried my sand wedge and those are the only two i have.

Its not always how you drive the ball, but how it arrives.

5-15 yards you mean? I personally like my sand, but that's because I play on faster greens... for me a 60* is only when I have very little green to work with.

I used to use a PW when I first played back when I was 10-12 but that is because I didn't have a sand wedge. I use my SW (aka 56*) now because I am very consistent with it and I have confidence in it. It is also good to know how high your going to get it and how much it's going to roll.

well i got out in the yard just now and practiced with them both, and i did a lot better with my pitching wedge, but my problem is that sometimes i get it up and sometimes i hit a roller across the ground, i guess i just need to practice more?

I have an AP2 gap wedge (51 deg), TM Rac TP Black sand wedge (56 deg) and TM Rac TP Black lob wedge (60 deg).

I use the SW for most shots 105 yard and in unless I need a full swing lob shot from 80 yards to a close pin. Chip shots are usually the SW unless there's a hazard and close pin, then I use the LW. I can actually hit a low runner with my gap wedge by playing the ball back on my right foot and slightly closing the clubface. I use it when the situation warrants and get some check to stop the bounce and good amount of roll

PW (48°) - 130 to 100
GW (52°) - 90 to 110
SW (56°) - 100 and under.

Use SW for most lob shots around green or pitches unless conditions require low trajectory. Around fringes it's a 7-iron putt unless over a trap or similar.

Home Course: Wollaton Park GC, Nottingham, U.K.

I carry 4 wedges that cover from 100-150 yards. I guess I actually use the sand wedge the most because besides the usual sand play, I also chip with it.

I currently only have a Pitching Wedge, so it gets just about all of my shortgame shots. I do pretty well with it, but i look forward to getting a sand and a lpb to give me more control over distances and range.

    • And like Matt said, and I have hinted at… it's ONE ROUND. Because you have to get hot. Better players than him failed to get through. And… Peaked too soon, perhaps. He could also get injured, get surpassed, lose interest or lose his game… Again, if I trusted y'all to uphold the bet, and if the bet wasn't basically a 15-year proposition… I'd bet y'all. The odds are against him, and heavily so.
    • He shot -5 with a bogey on the last hole. Those Monday Q events are seriously tough to get through. Lots of very very good players play in those, including normally a fair few tour players who've lost their cards, including past winners. It is a small sample size, but he also just broke one of Tiger's records (youngest ever to be ranked one in AJGA if memory serves). He's the best 15 year old in the world at the moment. He's also pretty small and skinny - if he grows and fills out a bit and gets stronger, he could be a serious force to be reckoned with. He may of course also go off the boil and struggle or his swing may not last his growth or something, so it's not like he's odds on to make it or anything like that. I think it will be interesting to see how he progresses and if (big if granted) he progresses well, then he will be quite the prospect.
    • At a basic level, you can take those strokes gained numbers and if you know what the baseline strokes to hole out is from each distance, you can figure out how many strokes on average you will take to hole out from any given spot on the golf course. Then you can take that shot zone thing from shotscope and put it down there and see what the average is for each club and each target you choose. That's not exactly trivial to do though even with a computer, so the strategy guides (like LSW) use rules of thumb to make those decisions easier for you to make on the fly. Most of the time you'll come up with the optimal strategy and on the odd occasion when you don't, the strategy you come up with will be pretty darn close to optimal. If you're anything like me, then you'll probably wind up being a little too conservative with both club choice and target. Fear of penalty strokes can make you play suboptimally. Basically it's a bad idea to base your strategy on a shot that might pop up less than 1 in 20 times. If you happen to hit that shot, then today just isn't your day, but the 19 times you don't, you'll be in that much better of a spot.
    • That sounds like a small sample size issue. What if the PGA tour event he was trying to get into just happened to fit his game perfectly? Also, he could just be playing hot right now. I’ll put this in the wait-and-see category.
    • I've used a construction laser for years. Far less expensive than the PuttAim laser.
