I bag four wedges - 46, 50, 54, 60 (Cleveland RTX 2.0 CB). I love them and they play well for me. Because I'm a tinkerer, I've been thinking about trying Hopkins wedges and "custom grinds". Question - are there any players who have had any experience with Hopkins and how does one determines what "custom grind" they need or desire? Unsure how one would determine there "custom grind" requirement being that it is an internet purchase etc. In other words, I don't know what I don't know! Any comments are appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Here's a link to what you can, and cannot order.     https://hopkinsgolf.com/page/support

Personally I couldn't find which shafts are available, and they recommend grinds for your region, mostly. I suppose with their money back guaranty, you can't go wrong. I just don't know of many tour players who use their products, other than Vjay S.

According to the Hopkins web site, the wedges (and irons) are now available from 27 retail shops. Most of the shops are located on the East Coast, West Coast or in Texas.

Hopkins had one part-time rep for the St. Louis area, but I'm not sure how systematic the product rep network is.

Gillum , like many other golfers you would like to "try before you buy," even with a money-back guarantee.

The Hopkins web site lists the shafts, but not the specs. For a couple of custom shafts not carried in component catalogs, you're guessing what the profile is.

Focus, connect and follow through!

    • Day 22 (23 May 24) / played the weekly nine-hole semi-scramble with the guys.  Solid play - primary focus was on making solid contact with the irons. 
    • Day 41: Pitching/chipping into the net. A few full swings with driver hitting Almost Golf balls.
    • Day 568, May 23, 2024 Loooooooong day today. Got some shadow work done with an umbrella.
    • Day 148: 5/23/24 Hit balls on the range measuring ball speed for each club. Recently watched a fitting video where the fitter said he targeted 5 mph ball speed increase for each club.  Mine weren’t quite there. 4 and 5 mph were pretty similar except for 1 ball. Big jump for hybrid, bigger jump for 4-hybrid, and huge change for driver. Swung for the fences with driver and hit them all pretty straight at the end of my session. Several at 111 mph, which is above my normal speed. Finished with chipping release 1 with several clubs.  Good session!
    • Birdied 15 at my home course today and made a birdie the other day at a course I don’t usually play. Will update the spreadsheet once I’m home on my computer.
