tour soft is not urethane. I think you meant Tour Speed.

@@tonythaiger93 No, It was Callaway's Chrome Soft I meant - thanx!

You are the wedge man! Even more than my 4 wedges, but I agree - nothing like having lots of options around the greens, and you can get out of some serious trouble spots with a 64* wedge. I am currently carrying a 62* lob wedge, but it's a stroke saver, that's for sure. These high lofted wedges do take practice to get used to, and they're not for hackers or faint-of-heart, but once you're comfortable, they are so much fun!

@@drrob1963 LOL, we're on the same wavelength! I threw the 64 in the mix on a whim thinking it probably wouldn't work out and I was surprised. It's helped me a lot more than hurt me. I don't really like opening the face of a wedge because I never feel like I'm aiming good. I was also surprised that I can hit a full shot from about 40 - 50 yards with a pretty good success rate.

45* to 55* is a big gap in your wedges! Have you thought about adding a gap wedge with a 50* loft & mid-bounce sole (about 8-10*)? It might give you more options from that 100yd length as well as more choices chipping and in LONG bunker shot situations.

PW 45, GW 50, SW 56. I'm a bit of a wizard with the PW around the greens so i don't really bother with the other two unless in a really bad lie or green side bunker.

@@drrob1963 I did consider adding a 50* GW when I was playing thrice a week earlier. Then I would hit full SW shots for example. Today anything from 100 yards in is PW unless I need a specialty shot or the lie dictates it. My PW is the go-to club

I took my medicine. I do love my 60° lob wedges, and am fairly decent for my level, but the mishits are punishing and bad shots on soft ground are really bad. I've found using my high bounce vokey 52.12 around the green to be the most forgiving, getting me closest to the pin. Still getting used to opening it up and leaning shaft for different lies etc, but to my surprise its becoming my favourite club in the bag. What type of wedge do use for your 57? I'm trying to find a versatile wedge that can be opened up or used in bunkers.

58 is my personal go to, but I can see how that will be troublesome in the long run

@@stuboy13 I’ve played my Ping ISI irons since 1997. The 52* has an S on it. The 57* has S3 on it. lol

You have an exact clone playing golf in Canada - that is my exact setup and handicap. I play a Mizuno T22 47, then a Mizuno T20 56/14 bent to 52/10 (I love this setup as it is a C-grind with heel&toe relief and I use it as my goto 80% chipping & pitching club), and my final club is a T20 56/10 bent to 57.5/11.5. I do go back & forth with this club and a 62 original Taylomade Hi-Toe ATV Grind if the course has hard sand. Since I do basically everything with my hacked 52/10, I also sometimes just use the 62 ATV-grind instead of the 57/11 as it is so flexible for emergencies around the green.

I can play my 52* low, and running. Or, open it up, to expose some more bounce. The 52* gives you a little more forgiveness on strike, and landing spot, compared to a 60*. I’m a scratch player, so I’m not trying to get too cute with most shots. I’m trying to save par. Period. I’m very disappointed, and feel like I’ve hit a poor chip, if it doesn’t finish in the 3’ circle around the hole. You gotta remember…. Tour pros are playing the firmest, fastest greens in the world. Most of us aren’t. No need for all of that loft, in most cases for us. It just adds an element of difficulty that isn’t necessary, in my opinion. Plus, chips have more chance of rolling in, with less loft. But hey…. To each his own.

My problem now is I have a huge gap from PW to 9iron due to club makers making iron lofts stronger

Hi T - welcome to golf! I don't know everything but I've been a keen A-grade amateur since the 70s. I honestly would suggest getting a wedge lesson (or two) from a local, reputable teaching pro, including suitable wedge additions to your set - it could be invaluable! It's more than just having the clubs in your bag, it's about knowing when & how to use them - and if you can get that right, you could knock quite a few shots off your best score. If you watch a pro tournament on TV or youtube, you'll quickly see how good those guys/girls are with their wedges, and how many shots they save around the greens! And a lot of that is good club selection and practice. There are good instruction vids online from wedge masters like Seve Ballesteros, Gary Player and Tiger. Regarding your set, I would suggest adding two wedges - a gap wedge of 52* loft, and a lofted sand wedge with 58* loft. Both should have a wide sole and about 8*-10* bounce. This should give you plenty of options on both full shots, and at short range for chipping, pitching and bunker play. Probably the best short game advice I received was "Always play the simplest shot that makes sense". For example, if you are 5 yards off the green on fringe or fairway - putt [don't try a lofted shot], but if its 5 to the green and in long grass, do not putt - you may need a wedge to drop it on the green. Hope this helps - Enjoy!

@@drrob1963 Thank you so much for the advice I really appreciate it and will take it on board 👍👍

​@@user-it5dc2lr3ei have 5 putters in my bag

I can't do what Rory does, so I need MORE wedges! 😊

lol how many times have you beaten Rory? 😂 know YOUR game, it certainly doesn’t resemble Rory’s or we would see you on PGA leaderboards each week 😂

Is it really short, tho? I guess it depends on who you are comparing to. Neil hit his 46* PW 132yrds in this video. PGA average with PW(assuming most will be around 46*)is 141yrds. LPGA average is 107yrds. I realize that ALL youtube commenters are carrying their drivers well above 320 yrds and PW somewhere around 200yrds, but in the real world 132yrds with a PW is quite long.

@@nicolasstergaard4992 I am 53 years old and hit my 46 degree pitching wedge 130 meters at sea level

LOL, Ridiculous comment! A 46 degree at 132 yards and 58 degree at 84 yards is not "so short". PGA tour players are about one club longer than this pro as you should expect. This pro's an instructor not a PGA touring pro. You might be one of those trolls I hear about... or a non golfer.

@@JackRainfield mate you are wrong with all you say, actually an idiot,

@@robertstephenson2068 Then you are either a long hitter as well(a lot longer than the average senior tour player) or maybe someone who delofts the pitching wedge a little bit. I think Neil defines himself as a long hitter, because his stock yardages are a lot higher than the average golfer, who are likely to watch the videos.
