Owned a lot of drivers over the years. Stopped playing for ten years while living in Oklahoma (terrible weather year 'round). Moved back to California and started playing again last October. I went to the local golf shop and bought the Cobra Bio Cells (driver, three-wood, seven-wood). They are a great value for your money. They even sound sweet when you make contact: a clean "click".

I have developed a form of putting yip where once over the ball I can't make myself actually putt. I freeze up. I've tried counting to myself and lifting the putter off the green, but it's like the putter doesn't want to come up. I've started choking way down on the shaft and then straightening up a bit to lift the head for an easier stroke but this is only partially helping. It's a mental dilemma that is causing trauma with putting which kills your scores. Any tips or mental trick to just step up and putt the ball are appreciated. Thanks. PS: I know this sounds like a knucklehead beginner kind of question, but I actually play pretty well and have putted well over the years. This is a recent development.

Does anyone know if TaylorMade offered a 60 degree wedge in the Burner Plus or Burner clubs? Thanks.

Thanks a bunch for your input! Because it was a GolfNow deal, I was limited to the Cleveland brand. It didn't cross my mind that there might be a 60 degree type wedge available in the Burner Plus. That would be great if possible. I know that some have said there's no problem intermingling club types, but it seems to me that a set of wedges would be so much mor copacetic if they were the same. I will definitely look into that.

I certainly appreciate the input, but I may not have framed the situation very well. No matter what some have inferred regarding the fact that the two types of clubs are really "the same", they're not. This is the issue: Swinging a CB wedge 5-6 times, then hitting a solitary blade wedge. The feel is so completely different that it's a mystery. Then next similar situation, back to the CB...and cross your fingers because there won't be any consistency. Does anyone have a mixed group of wedges, some CB and some blades? These would be the people I really want to hear from. They will have experienced the issue I'm addressing. Thanks to all.

I am an 11.7 handicap and have a set of TaylorMade Burner Plus irons with SW, AW, and PW. I am satisfied with these cavity back irons and am quite adept with the wedges. I recently used a GolfNow reward and bought a Cleveland 64 degree wedge. What I have found is that the Cleveland wedge—due to it being a blade type—feels radically different than my other wedges, to the point that it's screwing up my short game. I realize that the 64 degree wedge is a unique animal, but this problem is more than just the loft. The amount of swing, the weight, and everything about the clubs is just vastly different. For now I have shelved the Cleveland. For the future, I don't envision a time where the differing kinds of clubs—cavity back and blades—can coexist in my game. The "feel" is too inconsistent when switching between the two types. I may try to get Cleveland to take the wedge back and get their 588 RTX 2.0 CB. It only comes in a 60 degree which is fine. Has anyone else run into a similar problem regarding mixing the different kinds of clubs? Thanks in advance. Also, does anyone have the 588 RTX 2.0 CB wedge from Cleveland. What are your thoughts about it and does it come in satin rather than black? PS: Would also appreciate input from anyone who has been using the 588 RTX 2.0 CB.
