I want to use this for Uk courses that have no slope ratings. I know i cant be mega accurate as many factors come into play, just for the sake of estimation does anybody have a system for estimating these ratings from SSS. For instance my home course is par 72 and SSS 69. I know an average course slope is 113 so what would be a good under number to use as an estimate for this course?

I have taken a more cautious route and have picked up a 200 series 52.08 off of the bay to see how i get on with it. I will see how i get on with that before deciding what route to take. I have since realised the SW i have is actually 60*, has literally no bounce and the leading edge is completly flat. I have got used to this and whilst hitting it thin is a once and a while issue typically have learned to play with it for short shots and bunker play.

Your post makes no logical sense. You argue that chalk only aids snooker ball spin by helping the cue tip grip the ball on non square hits. You then imply that this is irrelevant to golf as we are striking the ball square, which is just wrong. I have no idea either way but it seems logical to me, that what ever friction gained from rust, will not make up for the loss of groove shape and density due to the rusting process.

Thanks for the responses guys. Looking at the spec sheet it appears i was mistaken. My PW is actually 46* not 45* as i thought, then all short irons spaced at 4* up. So does buying a 50* then getting the 56* and 60* on deal, then having the 56* bent to 55* as a possible future option if needs be sound like a good set up?

I am looking to add some wedges to my bag in the coming weeks, Currently i have irons that go down to a 45* PW and an old shabby, cheapy SW. On researching i came up with adding 3 wedges, 48*/53*/58* to give a nice even spread between gaps. I have now found out that a friend can get a good work discount on vokey wedges but only 52*/56*/60*. Would it be a bad move to have a gap of 45* to 52*? Im a reletive noob and not a big hitter, currently hitting PW around 110. However, happily but somewhat annoyingly my distances have been increasing every few rounds. So i would like to work around a presumption of future gains in yardages.
