The Wedge Every Golfer Must (Not) HAVE! 

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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 got a 72 and love it but you have to put the practice in

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

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 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 use a 65 for bunkers and short sided shots...you have to work with it, but it saves me twice a round on average.

I have a 75* I use off a high tea on par 5s .

I recognize this course. White Columns is a really nice course!

Might hit the par 3 courses with 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, pw, aw, 54, 58, 64, 68, 72 and putter. Shenanigans.

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.

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.

You should try the Black Widow negative bounce wedge next.

Just another reason why the PGA should allow 16 clubs in your bag!

People say golf videos don't make you better, they don't make me a better golfer but they make me a better person.😎

I have a Black Widow negative bounce wedge and it is HARD to use. Thing literally comes to a point on the back.

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.

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.

Love it. Open up the 72 to 91.

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 had a wedge one time that got me completely off balance too. I get it.

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.

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 …

I have a 72 degree and an 80 degree wedge.. from Dr. Knockdown.

Hahaha, I actually bought the 69 degree wedge and I do have a lot of fun with it.

Every golf hole needs to be that (NOT) flat around the green. I’m terrified to go above 48 degrees in those situations.

I used to have a 80 degree and lost it .I could really hit that club.

56 degee is all you need....

Does the club come with a bag of soil and grass seed? Greenskeepers are probably cringing with every swing!

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.

u have skills :-)

We all have a club or two in our bag that we almost never hit so let’s add another one

Greenskeepers worst nightmare

That’s a spatula my guy stick with what you know!

My man getting his extra steps in only using 1 ball to demonstrate lol

Go to get yourself a Dunlop Solution 64 deg

You need a 4 degree flat lie with that thing

I would end up hitting myself in the nose if I had that.

In the sand that would be great

Nope!

1st

this is for when you want to play it off of your chin

What a stupid club. Most golfers should not ever have a lob wedge.

72° is trash. I can get the same result with my 60°
