okay I've got a fairly new set of clubs which include R11 graphite shaft in irons up to pitching wedge and a 50 degree and 56 degree TaylorMade ATV wedges. and I notice today I have at least a 25-yard gap between the pitching wedge and the 50 degree wedge. I am wondering if anyone thinks that switching to graphite shafts in my wedges would close that gap to match the graphite shafts in my irons. By the way I played pretty well today I shot a 94 which is the second time in a roll I've been under a 100 I had a goall beginning of this year to score under 100 and I did two times in a row already so I'm pretty happy

Make sure you aren't flipping with the shortest clubs before you go to the trouble of changing shafts.

Easy to let the club head catch up with (or God forbid, pass) the hands before impact with wedges. I had that problem when I first started playing and couldn't hit a sand wedge over 80 yards to save my life. I was almost to the point of thinking it was impossible to get more distance with it before I finally figured out what I was doing wrong.

Since I didn't have that problem (for some unknown reason) with a pitching wedge, and I didn't carry a gap wedge at that time, I had a HUGE gap.  Now I only run into a problem when the darn thing goes farther than it's supposed to go. Ha ha!

Had 100 yards on the number to the middle of an island green Saturday and I thought a smooth sand wedge would be perfect. Thought I hit the perfect shot right at the flag and it flew the entire green into the water.

All that said, I do have the same shafts in all of my irons, including the 52* and 56*. I don't in my 60* but I rarely carry that club anyway.

great suggestion thank you. I do have that problem from time to time in flipping my wrists. Are you using iron or graphite shafts.

I have steel shafts. Project X 6.0 rifle shafts.

      PGA Makes Changes and Adopts My Change I Wanted for Years

      By jxdama · Posted

      I  had to return to boast  just a  bit. Everyone  knows  i thought  this  is  how the Championship should  be decided. Match play is far  better than stroke  play to determine a  champion and  its  much closer to most sports  playoffs. Lose and you are  out.     Promotion, relegation and match play: PGA Tour unveils radical new structure The PGA Tour has revealed its planned changes to its competitive model, schedule and playoffs, changes that will be more substantial than any in the Tour's half-century-long history. How will the PGA Tour series wrap up its season? The current PGA Tour playoff format consists of three stroke-play events, concluding with the Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta. Starting in 2028, the Tour's playoff system will feature match play, and will rotate through various courses. Further details will be revealed at this year's Tour Championship next month.

      My Swing (Gestate0560)

      Posted a couple swings here. I think my attempt to blend the movement still results in a more “around” back swing?

      PXG Brand

      I never heard dislike for them.  From my perspective, they are just like any other club. Though, they were always probably over-priced, until recently as other club manufacturers have been raising prices the past 5+ years. You had to wait for them to go on sale, which you can get them closer to other club manufacturers.  They sell good clubs. Nothing crazy..

      Why do so many people dislike PXG clubs and constantly criticize them? All the folks at my club and especially online, I never hear good things about them except from people who bought them and defend them. They look fine to me but curious is there some sort of quality issue or is it just stereotyping the buyers.

      ShotScope LM1 ($200 Launch Monitor/Speed Radar)

      By DewSweeper09 · Posted

      I have the LM1 launch monitor and I’ve been very impressed. I agree with your assessment and it’s very accurate for me and ease of use is wonderful. The price point of $199 is very hard to beat with this form factor and performance. I was previously using a PRGR.
