Do you use the pitching wedge from your set, or another one?

I use the one from my set but I don't think it would be a bad idea to use a Vokey or something of that sort like you said.

My PW is 45° loft...so this would be a big gap from my 9 to the vokey wedge or else I may get it.

I use the pitching wedge from my set, but it's only good for full shots. It imparts almost no spin on the ball, making it useless for pitch shots. Sometimes I'll also use it for a chip when I need a bump and run, though.

When I get the money I'm replacing it with a 48 degree Vokey or MP-R, and having it bent to 46.

I use my PW from my set. I have no problems with it as it give me great spin and control. It's when I get to my other wedges that gets me into trouble.

I use my pitching wedge from my set, only for full shots or choked down knockdown shots. I love that club.

I love to hate this damn game.

The PW from my set has just as much spin as my other wedges. Gotta love forged sets.

I use my set wedge. I used to use a 48* vokey 200 until I left it on a hole about 3-4 months ago I think the difference is not really in performance, but in set-up and appearance. My set PW looks more like an iron than a wedge. The Vokey has more of a softer wedge feel to it on all shots. It also looks more playable to me, than my set wedge for chipping and various open face shots. I wouldn't recommend using a Vokey or CG PW if your iron set is an oversize game improvement model with quite a bit of offset the difference from pw to 9 would be possibly a bit too radical in the looks department.

The HiBore PW isn't worth a crap so I use a Ping Rapture knock off from gigagolf as my PW. Much more accurate.

I swapped out my Callaway x series pw and sw with callaway forged wedges. My PW was a 46 degree and swapped with a 48 degree forged. The sand wedge was the same 56 degree and recently added a 60 degree to round out the set.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By mdl · Posted

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
