Specifically for my local course, 100% of my approach shots hit the green or are in a (deep) green side bunker / within 20 yards over bunker.
I have a 72 with some bounce, it's just way more reliable (directionally) than opening my 60.
There isn't a full shot I'd ever play with a 60.
Clearly I don't have your short game, but I'm single digit and Ieave the 60 at home and take my 72.
Fwiw, a 3/4 swing from a bunker is 8-10 yards, a full is 15-20. Very handy club tbh.
I was 14 handicap, swapped the 60 out and now single.
These are $50 clubs. If, like mine and your course has 18/18 holes with greenside bunkers, spend 30 minutes practicing, give it a go for 3-4 rounds.
That's so true about full shots with a 60. I don't think I've ever hit a full shot with my Lob wedge. If I do have a 60-70yard shot, I either take some off my sand wedge or approach wedge. So there's really no circumstance I would hit a full shot with my Lob wedge. I should get a 72 or 74 and try it out
There is more variance in hitting 72 degree wedge, especially in long distance shots. That's why you never hit full swing with 72 degree wedge, in order to benefit from the bias-variance tradeoffs.
Nice review. I own a full set from 52 to 72 for fun but with a wide flange and 16 bounce. The 72 is great for practice: as you learn to this and you never doubt a wedge shot again. Think of Hovland's chipping woes; the 72 will punish immediately when swung badly. Due to practice I added the 64 to my regular wedge set up.
I have a 68 and honestly for chip shots within 20 yards of the green its perfect, especially when the hole is on hill and I don't want to overun the green and go off the backside.
Have a wilson staff 64 and whilst it's an extraordinary club out of very difficult spots or severe slopes,have to be very careful with it. But this wedge,wow a serious weapon but in the right hands like Mr shortgame here,an accomplished golfer of high class
Have got a 72 and love it but you have to put the practice in
I have varied bounce as i play links golf, so 54 degree with 12 degrees of bounce for standard play, hard pan, i use 60 degree with 4 degree off bounce and its great
60* with 8* of bounce is about as aggressive as I can handle...and thats around the greens. I wouldnt want to take many full wedge swings with that even.
I have a 64 degree that I friggin love. I open it up to 68-70. Straight up and down. I chipped in several times with it. Love it
This club is for you then😂
I absolutely love my 68⁰...
I carry a 68⁰... 60⁰... 54⁰... 48⁰...
I full stroke (giggity) my 68⁰ 52yds... reliably.
I can baseball swing my 68⁰... 52yds... it just goes higher.
Probably my most reliable club, right after my driver.
I have one that is 70. I learned to bounce a ball off of it, because a full swing went like a half swing. 20 yards.
Get s variety of bounces in your wedges. My 54 has low bounce so i can open the face and play a variety of shots. My 58 has way more bounce for the rough and sand. Make sure each golf club in your bag serves a purpose.
I recognize this course. White Columns is a really nice course!
I use a 65 for bunkers and short sided shots...you have to work with it, but it saves me twice a round on average.
You should try the Black Widow negative bounce wedge next.
I have a 72....but I know it only has very limited use. Maybe trying to clear a bunker....with a blatant lob. 60 is much more useful....especially when chipping onto fast or sloped greens.
Might hit the par 3 courses with 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, pw, aw, 54, 58, 64, 68, 72 and putter. Shenanigans.
I have a 75* I use off a high tea on par 5s .
Well I have a 70 degree wedge and I have no problems with using it around the green, and it is really great for getting over green side bunkers and checking up very quickly and also take a much bigger swing. My friend had one of these before I bought mine, so I really liked his 70 degree wedge.
Just practice with the 70 degree wedge and get used to what it does and how to swing at the ball.
Note: I have all the other standard wedges and use them along with this 70 degree wedge.
It is kind of a specialty type of shot and works very well for me. The only thing I find is when I get under the ball too much, it will go straight up in the air, or can act like a missed shot and not move the ball at all.
I find it to be a fun club to have in my bag. End of story.
I have a 68 degree Final Wedge without bounce, very much like this. I carried it in the bag when I first got it, and did have one time that I was in a bunker right up against the lip and I was able to stand outside the bumker and pop it straight up on to the green.
Love it. Open up the 72 to 91.
I have a Black Widow negative bounce wedge and it is HARD to use. Thing literally comes to a point on the back.
Just another reason why the PGA should allow 16 clubs in your bag!
Never understood the rule anyway...why can't we have as many clubs as we can or want to carry ? Still have to make the swing...which I rarely do...lol
I’d carry 20 if I could lol. Still suck tho bwahahah
What is stopping you lmao, unless you’re on Tour who cares.
@@RyanAlvarez-qt9di 2 reasons - our men's league goes by the PGA rules and more importantly I want my handicap to be legit/honest!
14
People say golf videos don't make you better, they don't make me a better golfer but they make me a better person.😎
60 degrees, 8 bounce max. As if you choose any wedge higher in degrees then which club are you sacrificing from your set and if so, why?
I'm going to put a 62º in my bag, so I'll have 5 wedges, 46º,50º,54º,58º and 62º, I'll drop my 5 wood, only use it once or twice a year, with the 62 I'll use it when short sided around the greens and bunkers, I used to have a 64 bent to 67, which was fantastic when I lived in Melbourne playing the sandbelt courses
@@NZFarmboy80 I dropped the same wood for the same reasons. 5 wedges - 44, 48, 52. 56 and 60.
I got space I have a p wedge and a 52 nothing else for wedges (p is right handed 52 is left handed)
@@nlbaymenfortunebay7887 ???
@@nlbaymenfortunebay7887you hit both left and right handed?
Takes a bit to get used to, as club goes right through....but ball really does not go far. Gotta do a full swing...to get it to go about 20 yds....lol. Once someone trusts the swing, it's a club that has a purpose.
That club on tight lie that’s a little damp would be death. It’s not like you can open it up and add bounce.
Bounce is your friend if treated correctly.
I had a wedge one time that got me completely off balance too. I get it.
Oof, that looks like it has been made for duffs. I have a 60° with 9° of bounce, which I never hit full. I just use it for shots out of firm bunkers, for delicate shots and for short pitches over bunkers.
It’s not “do I put this club in my bag” … but “what club do I take out”? It looks like fun, and on a pitch and putt or par 3 course, I’d take everyday of the week and twice on Sunday. On a par 72? Nope …
Every golf hole needs to be that (NOT) flat around the green. I’m terrified to go above 48 degrees in those situations.
I have a 72 degree and an 80 degree wedge.. from Dr. Knockdown.
I used to have a 80 degree and lost it .I could really hit that club.
Does the club come with a bag of soil and grass seed? Greenskeepers are probably cringing with every swing!
As a golf professional, I wish this club AND youtube did not exist 😶
We all have a club or two in our bag that we almost never hit so let’s add another one
u have skills :-)
I played a 70-degree wedge and it was a waste of time. (And I'm a very good wedge player.) I've even put my 64-degree away for good, opting for the 60-degree instead. Why? It's more versatile. I can hit it square or opened up. Open up those extreme wedges and you get almost no turf interaction--just chunk.
good golfers rarely carry anything over 58*
56 degee is all you need....
Hahaha, I actually bought the 69 degree wedge and I do have a lot of fun with it.
Greenskeepers worst nightmare
That’s a spatula my guy stick with what you know!
Go to get yourself a Dunlop Solution 64 deg
My man getting his extra steps in only using 1 ball to demonstrate lol
You need a 4 degree flat lie with that thing
In the sand that would be great
#480 viewer 🎉
Nope!
I would end up hitting myself in the nose if I had that.
1st
this is for when you want to play it off of your chin
72° is trash. I can get the same result with my 60°
What a stupid club. Most golfers should not ever have a lob wedge.
My 54* sand wedge is as lofted as I’ll go. I can always open it more in soft sand.
Why not? 😐
