I have a Wilson SuperFly 72*. Its a lot of fun and gets some funny looks but I would not carry it in a round. Too easy to hit it thin. Side note, at the range I go to often I am not allowed to hit it on the covered portion of the range.

Could go with the Dr. KNOCKDOWN 80° WEDGE... or should I say the hit yourself in the face wedge...

My son and I looked at the 74 degree wedge and pretty much thought the same thing.

Probably made for golfers who drive 400 yards. . .

It's probably made for golfers who have no clue what they're doing in short game, haha.

I go with 45-49-54/14-58/10. Any thoughts about that setup?

[WUTiger]

Bob, lots of people play a similar mix. (I assume the 45 and 49 came with the iron set?)

I have gone back to 46, 50, 54, 58 after two seasons of 46, 50, 56.

Good pairing of your 54/14 SW and 58/10 LW combo... you have some bounce variety for different turf/sand conditions.

Also, the 58º LW is easier for lots of golfers to handle than a 60º. A Golf Digest survey from a recent year said that about half the tour players have a 58 as their highest lofted wedge.

Not at all. I have a very good short game but I carry a 68* wedge. I use it only when I'm short side and need to get a ball up and down very quickly. I feel most comfortable with a pretty fair forward lean. This delofts the club, so a less lofted club would go too low. Usually save par with this club. Opening up a wedge and using the bounce for me is less consistent especially off a tight lie.

Thanks, WUTiger! You're right the 45 and 49 is my PW and AW.

I don't think I need a 62* I can use the 58* instead. I was thinking I should have gone for a single digit bounce, but this one is C-shaped so I'll probably need to learn how to use that feature instead.
