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.

      Congrats! Day 551, May 6, 2024 Played 18 holes with @DrizZzY hitting irons only and playing the white tees. No really "bad" shots, and a few really, really good ones. Finished on nine (they send us off 10 in May) with… a 197-yard 5I uphill and an 84-yard sand wedge to three feet.

      Ahh the old classic "nobody agrees with me so I don't want to talk about it anymore"

      @anaveragehacker, you’ve been ignorant this whole time and now you’re being disrespectful. Not a great combo. You asked what the rules were and we told you. You complained about them and we told you why they were the way they are. The “who is the committee?” Question has been answered a few times. Dave and I are Rules Officials and the other people replying know the rules far better than you, so the fact that we are all disagreeing with you should say something. this thread is going nowhere and your original question has been answered several times.

      What is this committee I keep hearing about? We’re a small league playing at a county course. And these are temporary issues that may be gone in a day or two. In any case, I wish more people agreed with me. It seems that trying to convince golfers to modernize rules is like trying to change the Bible. You guys are so serious it kind of proves my point. Other sports make adjustments for  field conditions etc during lower level play. This isn’t life and death here, it’s sport. No need to keep arguing. I have my opinion and you have yours.

      Yeah, I agree that some of the charts are hard to make sense of. That short game chart is showing how often a short game shot ends up within a certain distance. The orange bar is all shots, the green bar is for shots within 25 yards, and the blue bar is for shots between 25 and 50 yards. I just play around with all of it and will figure it out. I would suggest just diving in and see what jumps out and work on that.
