I thought this thread looked familiar (or maybe it was the make out session avatar that I recognized). Couldn't figure out how it was only a day old. http://thesandtrap.com/t/57563/going-to-become-a-tour-pro-in-a-few-years

Do Tour Strikers really work that well? I was actually considering getting one for awhile, but with so many different training gadgets out there I wasn't sure if it would be worth the money.

Thanks for the replies. The bounce on my 54* is 10*. I do feel pretty comfortable in the sand with it so maybe I'll check out chippers. I never even thought of getting one because I was under the impression that if you showed up to a course with a chipper in your bag they would throw rocks at you until you left. I think I'll see if any of my friends have a 58* or 60* I can try out next time I'm at the range and see how it feels.

Been playing golf for years, but never enough to actually get better. I usually shot in the upper 90s or just over 100. Over the last 2 years, and especially this year, I've been making an effort to improve and have gotten my scores down to the mid 90s mostly. I'm seeing the best improvement in my short game and would actually say that's what I'm best at (though still far from very good), but I don't currently have a lob wedge. I actually only have 13 clubs in my bag, Driver, 3w, 3 & 4 hybrids, 5 - pw irons (my pw being 45 degrees), then 50 and 54 degree wedges. I've gotten pretty good at opening the face and hitting flop shots with the 54 wedge, so is there any need for a lob wedge? At my current level would I even be able to handle one? Is there another club that might be better for me to fill the 14th spot or would I be better off saving the money and continuing with 13 clubs till I improve more? Any advice is appreciated.
