I saw those, I didnt realize you bought the 3 set combo. Sweet!  3 new toys to play with this weekend!

I am jealous.

Yea Amazon deliveries are pretty wacky.  Hopefully you get them and go out to play today, Sat and Sun!

Feedback after trying!!

Got em...Tried em...Like em...

Really nice looking and go well with iron set. Tour Grind 431 (probably meaningless). Good spin, feel great.  Two tone finish, mostly chrome, but SS accent across the back adorned with nylon (or plastic) insert. Square grooves.

Glad you like em.  Nothing better than a set of nice, new, shiny wedges!   :beer:

I went from infomercial rescue clubs to a set of Cleveland wedges.

I have little experience, but I can say with confidence that I LOVE these wedges and they allow me to attempt shots I couldn't think about without them.

They do their job very well when I do mine.

Always remember, the same country that invented golf and called it a game, invented bag pipes and called it music.

Thanks!  Although not what one would say to be a quality set, its what I was looking for and they get the job done. If I wanted perfection I would have waited and got some Vokey's or Cleveland. Also, this is the most sensible arrangement in an Ogio Bag (for me).

You can't really go wrong with Cleveland. When I worked at Titleist, once in awhile a Cleveland head would mistakenly be found in a box of Titleist. I had one of the girls in production  throw on a DGIS Shaft and grip. It made for a darned nice wedge.  I can't remember what happened to it. Probably was sold on ebay. (would  not be first time, I screwed up).

      A Novice Journey to Building a Bag. (Help Appreciated)

      By boogielicious ·

      I agree with @pganapathy about removing some clubs. I would recommend removing the 2, 3, 4 and 5 irons for now. Play with Driver 3W 5W 3H 5H 6 iron 7 iron 8 iron 9 iron PW ( you don’t have listed) 52 56 Putter Th 60 wedge can be difficult for new players, but you could keep that If your 3H is adjustable, increased the loft to be more like a 4H. Play with these on course and see if you can get a feel of the actual yardages for each club and especially the gaps between them. It may take 10 or more rounds. A par 3 course is helpful for determining the gaps in the irons and some woods too. A device like a Shot Scope H4 can really help give you your actual yardage on course.

      Day 12: Same as last couple days, but focus was on recentering aspect of flow. When I recenter earlier I make decent contact most swings but if I recenter late or not at all it’s a roll of the dice.

      A couple of things.  Some of the clubs in your bag should be dropped immediately.  A 2-iron for example with what obviously seems to be a lower swing speed or possibly not great swing yet is a definite no-no.  To be hitting that 120-140 yards, which I assume includes run, is a sign that you are not getting the ball airborne at the correct angle to maximise distance.  The reason your 3 and 5 hybrid are going the same distance is that your launch angle is better with the 5.  Loft is your friend. Ideally I would suggest going to a golf or sporting store where you can hit golf balls on a simulator without being disturbed to understand your club carry distances and hopefully swing speed.  With that information we can definitely guide you better.

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By pganapathy ·

      Let us be clear, unless you have proof of cheating, you just sound like a case of sour grapes.  In our club we have a guy who won club titles for many years.  Yes, he was a low single digit handicapper, but there have been quite a few others who played at his level.  Yet his mental strength and experience helped him win in many years when he shouldn't have.  Did he sandbag.  DEFINITELY NOT.  Did he just minimize his mistakes and pull out shots as and when needed.  Definitely.
