I'll throw my hat in the ring as well.

Loft    Lie      Length

50      66        36.50

54      66        36.25

58      66        36.00

I have KBS 130's on my current wedges, so I assume that is probably the Tour-V in X-flex?

Here I am in the roll call: http://thesandtrap.com/t/57694/member-review-roll-call/54#post_997236 I play my Ping Wedges with color code red (Grip color code: aqua) and standard length, so whatever that translates to in this in terms of length and lie. I think I'd end up with KBS Tour-V (Tour-90 would make my wedge shafts lighter than my iron shafts, which I suspect is a bad idea, but I'm open to trying the Tour-90 if you think I should), in lofts 48, 52, 56 That having been said: since the set of reviewers is limited AND I'm just now starting to learn about how to flight my wedges, if you think this would hinder my growth there, please DO NOT select me. At the moment, I would be disinclined to purchase wedges as I'm happy with the Pings and they're relatively new.

Got the wedges today, first impression when taking them out is "wow, these are nice".  They scream USA with blue grips and blue accent inside the shipping box.

I should be able to start testing them out tomorrow on the range.

Stay tuned.

Sweet. I'm also reviewing the irons and will have a review of them up within a month. They arrive tomorrow, though.

    • Good advice. In general, you want to take whatever weight you are lifting to a couple of reps before failure, for muscle growth. There are other tactics for PT related stuff. I would trust your PT person.  For muscle growth, you can go like 30 reps to failure. It is tougher to gauge. Also, it takes 2x as long to do the same number of working sets per week if you are doing 15 instead. It is way less efficient, but your case is special because of the injury/aggravation to the hip. 
    • Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)
    • Caution for the seniors on weight training: Listen to your body. (I'm 75) I got a recent session with an orthopedist after a training-related injury. I put too much weight on a new resistance machine at the gym and ended up with bursitis in my left hip. Of course, it's the hip I dislocated back in 2023. I have my first physical therapy session tomorrow. I remarked that some days I can do 45 lbs. chest press - two sets - without much effort. But other days it drops down to 30 (😩) with just one set. (Complicating factor: I had digestive problems in this fall and lost about 20 lbs., with slip in muscle tone.) Orthopedist said that I want to feel some resistence, but that I should go with lots of reps with manageable weights rather than trying to set some sort of lift-pound record. I'm sure I'll get some refinements on lifting during tomorrow's PT.
