At this time I have a lot of bounce on my wedges....54+58 have 12 and my 64 has 10. My old Ping 60 had 6 which was easier for me to pick off tight lies...and in the winter off bare mud lies. When it comes time to replace the 64 I'll be looking at 6 or 8. I wouldn't mind the 54+58 with a little less than 12 as well.

Where have most people been going for used fairway woods online?...maybe an old Ping 425 7w or something. Really thinking about pushing my 11w out of the bag and lofting my 9w up as much as I can and putting a 7w inbetween the 5w + 9w.
Jeez.. does the ball not just pop up and hit you on the chin?

Nope.....although it would have to get past my gut before it got to my chin.

To me it is the ol' this is the right way to play golf attitude.
-People are told not to try a 64 wedge because they don't need them and they are risky to use.....I LOVE the club. But if you don't have a fairly consistent swing...yes, it's dangerous.
-If you have small hands only use standard or smaller grips....I use oversize with at least 5 tapes under the grip....love it.
-Don't use the 10 finger grip, that's for bad golfers......I switched a few years ago and playing my best golf.
-Nobody uses an 11w.....well, I do and it's nice. And a 9w.
-Currently no "regular irons" in my bag at all (not counting wedges..and one of those is a hybrid)
-I also leave the flag in....works better for me, others obviously disagree.

I keep experimenting....if it works for me I keep doing it.

My bag is always in flux because I'm obviously a very unstable individual,
but if you count a PW and GW that match the numbered irons,
I think that I presently have four.

Titleist GT 2___11° driver (HZRDUS Smoke Red RDX 70R)
Titleist GT 2___16.5° 4-wood (HZRDUS Smoke Red RDX 70R)
Callaway Ai Smoke Heavenwood___20° utility wood (HZRDUS Smoke Red RDX 70R)
Titleist U505___20º driving iron (UST Recoil 95-R)
Titleist T Series Blended___5-GW (UST Recoil 95-R)
Titleist SM10-T Grind___58-04 wedge (UST Recoil 95-R)
Cleveland Smart Sole Full Face___64° sand iron (UST Recoil 95-R)
Tad Moore Chicopee___putter
Titleist Pro V1x___ball

What's that? Light? Heavy? Average?
