I’m looking for a 60 degree wedge and they seem to get the best reviews, although they are a bit pricey. The most lofted club in my bag is a 54 degree SW which came with my iron set, and I’m getting fed up playing chip shots that look brilliant in the air then land on the green with top spin and end up 30 feet away. There’s a good chance that isn’t the clubs fault but I want to get a 60 degree just to confirm. My pre season treat to myself was a set of new Cleveland RTX Zipcore full face wedges. Got a 52, a 56 and a 60. Getting plenty of zip of pitches and chips with them, sometimes too much. Still getting used to them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went ahead and bought the TaylorMade Hi-toe 60 degree a couple of hours ago, should be here Monday. Its a great feeling when you get the ball to check on the green, I think I’ve done it once in my life I played a round with a boy who was a plus handicapper and he tried to give me a quick lesson in order to get the ball to check, mainly accelerate through the bottom of your arc and hit the ball before the turf. This TaylorMade hi-toe is supposed to allow more contact between the club face and ball in order to impart more spin so hopefully it makes a difference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Great to see Morikawa back in form. Really hoping that my playing the long game by keeping him as my fantasy golf captain pays off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen a guy on Twitter who’s one of the course reporters for American TV, saying he reckons a 10 handicapper would shoot about 200 round this course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the greens were soft early season I was hitting wedges into greens and getting backspin, a phenomenon unknown to me in 35 years of playing golf. Really fucked up my yardages. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really fucked up my yardages. It really is an excellent sight to see, and I really hope that one day I will get to the level that I will be able to do it consistently. My work had an outing on the Monifeith medal course a few years back and one of the guys in the 4ball had been something crazy like +3 as a junior, although he was in his 30s at this point but still playing off close to scratch. He was back spinning 7 irons to 4 feet from the pin from 160 yards down the fairway. If I remember rightly the 18th is a straight par 5, and he played driver off the tee, driver off the deck into the bunker on the front right edge of the green, then chipped in from the bunker for an eagle. Definitely the best golfer I’ve ever played alongside, the noise of the ball off the club face was a joy to listen to. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
