Re: Whats the higest lofted club in your bag?

I use my 60* a bunch also, but now that I have a 54* I find myself using that also about as much as my 60*

Re: Whats the higest lofted club in your bag?

I carry a 68* to my home course, but only because the bunkers are a mile deep! I don't always land in them, but there is one on my course, that is nearly unavoidable...

I was wondering if their was someone out their that had a super high lofted wedge. I am always pressed for time so I play a lot of par three courses. I feel the more tools around the greens the better.

60* Lob Wedge.

It will be the first club to go when I get around to buying a Gap Wedge. Then 56* Sand Wedge will have the highest loft.

80* ! An 80* wedge is called a spatula.

I have a 60*, I would love to mess around with an 80* wedge. You should have no problem getting out of pot bunkers

Re: Whats the higest lofted club in your bag?

60 degree wedge here. I would think that an 80 degree wedge would have a tough time actually creating the spin to get the ball in the air...not enough force behind it.

Come to think of it...I do have an 80 degree loft club. It's my 10 degree driver turned on its side. Haven't quite figured out how to hit it yet though.

Re: Whats the higest lofted club in your bag?

I?ve got a 64*, but I really don?t know what I?ll do with it if and when I get a 60*. I mean, it really is not the most versatile of clubs, you can?t really open it too much or it will literally slide under the ball.

Re: Whats the higest lofted club in your bag?

My 60* wedge scares me (afraid of blading it 120 yards), so it stays in the basement. My 56* SW seems to serve me fine.

Must confess, though, I do think I should practice with the 60* a little. If I could take a full swing and get into 1-putt range from 40 yards (currently no-man's-land for me), that could really help my scoring. As it is now, if I can't reach the green, I try to lay up to my SW or GW distance.

Just out of interest what brand is it and where did you get it from?
I carry either a 60 or 64 depending on the course.
