I was in Dick's recently looking for a Scottsdale Anser 2 from the previous year an had no luck. I did however come across a new line of putters by Top Flite labeled Tour. I checked the putter out and hit it side by side with a current generation answer, and was quite impressed especially for the cost. Long story short I ended up getting the putter and a new wedge. The putter was great enough, but the wedge was simply impressive, it has a CNC milled face and looks as good as any other wedge I have owned. I walked out the door with both new clubs for less than 90 bucks, as there is a special going on now. If you get a chance to swing by and check them out, I don't think anyone would be disappointed for their cost. I will check back in once I have put a round on them both.

Wedges: Titleist Vokey 60º, Gigagolf SGS Black 52º, 56º

I have put a round on each of these clubs now, they are both currently in my bag. I can say they are definitely worth the money. I was extremely surprised with how the wedge performed during my round. The milled face of the wedge was not a feature I was accustomed to seeing in this price range. When comparing the control and spin to my Vokey they felt nearly identical. The putter was nearly as impressive with how the face felt, it was soft... but not a muted feel. I liked the black finish and contrasting white details. The shafts and grips on these clubs were about what I expected in this price range, nothing to write home about... but for the money there isn't much reason to complain either. I will be keeping my eye on Top Flite's Tour series closer from now on.

Whatever works for you and give you confidence standing over the ball is what I always go for.  Sometimes that means paying more than I wanted too and sometimes that means that I feel like I stole one because of the price that I got the gear for.  Good for you !

trying to resurrect here. I just picked up the 52, 56, 60 in these. For the money I don't think they can be beat. Unfortunately its called as the ice witch here and I haven't been able to play them yet. Just wondering if anyone else who has them has any more input on them. I think im talking about the same one, Top Flite Tour Wedges, black head, black grip, white letters.

    • I am semi-loyal. Usually buy four dozen of one ball and only play that until out and then determine whether to continue or try another one. Since starting my semi-loyal path to success, I've been playing the below, not in order: ProV1 ProV1x ProV1x left dash AVX Bridgestone BXS Srixon Z-star XV I am not sure if it has helped anything, but it gives a bit of confidence knowing that it at least is not the ball (while using the same one) that gives different results so one thing less to mind about I guess. On the level that I am, not sure whether it makes much difference but will continue since I have to play something so might as well go with the same ball for a number of rounds. Edit: favorite is probably the BXS followed by ProV1/Srixon Z-star XV. Haven't got any numbers to back it up but just by feel.  
    • Will not do it by myself, going to the pro shop I usually use after Cristmas for input and actually doing the changes, if any, but wanted to get some thoughts on whether this was worthwhile out of curiosity. 
    • In terms of ball striking, not really. Ball striking being how good you are at hitting the center of the clubface with the swing path you want and the loft you want to present at impact.  In terms of getting better launch conditions for the current swing you have, it is debatable.  It depends on how you swing and what your current launch conditions are at. These are fine tuning mechanisms not significant changes. They might not even be the correct fine tuning you need. I would go spend the $100 to $150 dollars in getting a club fitting over potentially wasting money on changes that ChatGPT gave you.  New grips are important. Yes, it can affect swing weight, but it is personal preference. Swing weight is just one component.  Overall weight effects the feel. The type of golf shaft effects the feel of the club in the swing. Swing weight effects the feel. You can add so much extra weight to get the swing weight correct and it will feel completely different because the total weight went up. Imagine swinging a 5lb stick versus a 15lb stick. They could be balanced the same (swing weight), but one will take substantially more effort to move.  I would almost say swing weight is an old school way of fitting clubs. Now, with launch monitors, you could just fit the golfer. You could have two golfers with the same swing speed that want completely different swing weight. It is just personal preference. You can only tell that by swinging a golf club.     
    • Thanks for the comments. I fully understand that these changes won't make any big difference compared to getting a flawless swing but looking to give myself the best chance of success at where I am and hopefully lessons will improve the swing along the way. Can these changes make minor improvements to ball striking and misses then that's fine. From what I understood about changing the grips, which is to avoid them slipping in warm and humid conditions, is that it will affect the swing weight since midsize are heavier than regular and so therefore adding weight to the club head would be required to avoid a change of feel in the club compared to before? 
    • I think part of it is there hasn't been enough conclusive studies specific to golf regarding block studies. Maybe the full swing, you can't study it because it is too complicated and to some degree it will fall into variable or random.
