Last night I went to the Galaxy for a lesson and with the intent of buying a wedge  or three.

I spent a fair amount of time in the sim swinging a bunch of brands.  I used the 60 from each brand, to maintain consistency of the comparison.

Hit the following:

Callaway MD4

Ping Glide

Tommy Armour GXT

Vokey SM6

 

They were all fine to good in my hands.  Callaways were probably my favorite of that group.

 

But then I hit the Cleveland RTX-3.  First swing was butter and felt soooooooo good.

 

Took about 10 more swings with the 60, then 10 more with a 52 and a 46.  Each one felt great and flew very well according to the computer.  I was and am sold.

 

Walked out with all 3 in Black Satin with the M grind, and will be taking my new loves to the range today to get the feel for distances, etc.  As an added bonus, they were on sale and I had some store credit and a coupon, so they were basically free!

Falling in love with a club(s) is totally acceptable. However, as with all love affairs, there will be some low points, that could possibly lead to a break up. 

I have had break ups with almost all my clubs at one time or another. Funny thing is, the club doesn't really care.

 Went to a local range that lets you hit off grass and has a bunker to practice out of.

These clubs really work for me.  Great feel, great spin, easy distance control.

Friday will be my first round with these.  Can't wait.

Yeah, just got one of these myself for my birthday, a really good club. Only problem is that it looks so nice that I fear practising with it from any scruffy lies 😄

Loving my RTX wedges .. 

 

As to love affair, I find it hard to go past my Cleveland TT588 eight iron.... nothing like dropping a ball in the hole from the rough 165 yards to put a simile on the dia

    • Thank you.  I'll cross it off the list since it isn't going to achieve what I want. 
    • While it does turn out that both Tiger and Phil are less squeaky clean than I previously believed, I don't think golf quite has the worst in professional sports.  Or maybe they're better at image management.   Obviously I'm not fond of Phil's issue we're discussing in this thread (or his involvement with LIV) or Tiger's choices of how to drive.  I used to really like Dustin Johnson and, even before the LIV situation, we started to hear rumors that he bought more snow than Seward, although I don't think those stories were ever substantiated.  Meanwhile, I did think of Anthony Kim as the "good, bad boy" of the tour for a while fifteen years ago because of his party persona -- and if it turns out the worst he did was show up hung over to play (barring what one thinks of LIV), that's pretty good.  And I'm still happy he found a way to get his life clean. If we contrast that with some other sports I enjoy, I'm sure we could find a nice long list of NFL players that, at one point in my life, I was quite fond of, we get far worse disappointments (to put it mildly).
    • Answering that properly would land me in hot water, so I'm not going to. I don't think that many people would do that. I think that in certain circumstances many people would be willing to overlook someone doing that. But I was really referring to what I assumed was Tiger's transgressions (cheating on his wife) not Phil's.
    • No! Is a large part of the human population selfish, apathetic and cuts corners in the name of self-preservation 'more than they would like to admit', yes. Degenerate, scum, etc?.. no!! Most humans/men would not grope a woman like Phil is accused of doing (I think he absolutely did). That is scum. I mean what % of men do you think would do that? Seriously?? 
    • I don't think that is true at all. That is off-topic here, I think.
