Hi All, I recently re-evaluated my wedge setup and am trying to decide what I want to end up with. I have the following: 45* PW (part of my Burner 2.0 set) 49* Cleveland 588 TA PW 53* Cleveland 588 TA GW 56* Cleveland 588 TA SW 60* Cleveland 588 TA LW I have a few questions for you all..... 1) If I bend my 49* to 48 or even 47* (to replace the 45* PW), will it affect the bounce/offset? 2) Do you think the difference between my 9i (40*) and a 47/48* PW too much? 3) Would it be worth just sticking with the 45* and bending the 53* to 52* to close the PW-GW gap a little more rather than bending the PW? I do love the Cleveland 588's and can hit them beautifully so I am a bit partial to the idea of bending the 49* to 47* to replace the 45. Thanks in advance, Bruce

Hi All, My current wedge setup is PW, 50 and 53 degree. I have a 56 and 60 on its way and am wondering if it would be best to take the 50 or 53 out of the bag. I absolutely love my 53 degree but am afraid that puts a little too much of a gap between my PW (45degree) and my 53 degree GW. Thoughts? Thanks, Bruce

An Odyssey Metal-X 2-Ball. Just came in the mail yesterday and can't wait to use it.

I have a Metal-X 2 ball coming next week. I can't wait for it. I'll try to put up a review once I get a chance to play a bit with it.

I ended up finding the TaylorMade Superfast (1.0) at my local Golf Galaxy used for 40$. It is in great condition and a new grip so I guess my patience worked out. I was a bit upset that I couldn't get an accurate result in the simulator with it. I was hoping to get a good idea for distances with it but the sim results were that I was hitting it 350+ yards. I was getting all of the ball....but I'm a realist.

Just smile....slow it down.....sing a song in your backswing (or whistle......it helps you breathe throughout your swing so you arent so "tight") and enjoy the rest of the day. Beat yourself up on the driving range...not the course.

Hey guys/gals, I'm looking at putters right now and I'd like to get an Odyssey 2-ball. I have been in love with the way the White Ice 2-ball feels but am not sure whether I am going to get the same feel from an older model 2-ball like the DFX. Am I going to notice a big difference in the newer versions vs. the models from the last 2 years? Do you all use Ebay or Craigslist to get your used clubs? Any other site(s) I should know about? Thanks Bruce

Thanks for the input. I'll work the other way around since that totally makes sense to work on your scoring clubs a bit more. I was focusing mainly on the driving range. I put in a few hours a week dedicated to putting alone so I consider that it's own entity. Thanks again.

Hi All, Lately I have been going to the range a couple times a week but haven't had a structure to my practice. I'm wondering what routine you all go through at the range. I'm thinking I may start the following regiment: 1) Hit about 10-15 with driver/3-wood. (Just to make sure I have a solid first shot) 2) Work on 7/8/9/PW approach shots (around 75 balls) 3) Gap/Sand wedge shots 100 yds and in. Should I be spending more time on the 5/6 iron shots? Or are those best served as "support" shots that I take in stride? Also....What kind of drills do you guys use for developing/working on accuracy? Thanks, Bruce

I am sooooooo temped to get this.

I'd love to be able to play with my wife....but she isn't interested in the least with golf. She is more into the Real Housewives of Bitchiness.

I think a little clarification is needed here. My excitement stems from being able to get a regular occurrence of time to get to the course. The reason for the "approval" is the dedicated time in which my wife now knows she is watching our 4 month old son while I am out for half the day. Nothing about this is asking "permission" to do something I love....it's about coming to an agreed upon schedule of events. I love my wife and try to have a very give/take relationship....but in no way shape or form would I ever disrespect her and tell her I'm going to the course without considering her time that is sacrificed for it. After all....it's not easy being a parent and we live for the weekends and free time....so it wouldn't be fair of me to think my needs are more important than hers.

I've been looking at this all day and can't seem to find the exact point when my left knee is straight. Should it be flexed until impact or before/after impact? The wrist hinging is pretty obvious and I can work on that and the right foot issues no problem. I'm more worried about timing with the left knee.
