The last shot was a green in regulation..............kid you not!      The head flew off..........the ball landed on the green 10' from the hole.

That wedge had character.............for sure!!!!!   

I probably carried it in my bag for longer than I should have to be for sure.  That wedge was probably 6-8yrs old.....................it saw a lot of action.    Wedges need to be replaced much more frequently.

I am still using a wedge that has been in my bag for well over 10 years. Even though the circle area of ball striking, on the face is visible, all I have ever done is kept it clean,  and changed the grip as needed.  

Is that rust where the shaft snapped of at the hosel?

Looks like it has been hit out of the sand a few times.

My 56° Cleveland has been in my bag for at least 6 years and I have no intention of replacing it in the foreseeable future.

I don't see why you would say that they have to be replaced that often.  For me a wedge is much like a putter - when I find one I like, I stay with it.  But then I don't replace any of my clubs as often as many players do.

      My flop shots are 6-7° down (AoA). Does that answer it? 😄  The longer answer is… You have to be able to do both shots.

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I hope you don't mind me raising this one from the dead. I got shortgamechef's video access thing for a few months in 2024. I watched his yip fix videos (the general gist is similar to the first video above, but with a lot more detail) and it made a lot of sense. I was working on it in my backyard off a mat for a while and my yippy thing was mostly gone. Aside from anything else, the flop shot using that technique is so easy and controllable. But I got onto a golf course for the first time of the year and found myself by the green on a downslope with the ball sitting down a little in the rough and I was, not to put too fine a point on it, f***ed. Shallow is all well and good from a good flat lie and I understand it, but you can't make that your be all and end all. I still don't know if it's a good idea to use steep all the time or just when you need to. I have a hard enough time with one technique, let alone too.  Just got a pitching skillest lesson with Erik and unless I misunderstood things some, he wants me a bit steeper. @iacas - where do you fall on the steep vs shallow argument and how do you vary it according to need?
