In support of divot.....I know where he is coming from, but I agree that even a good SW isn't quite as good at getting over those besker bunkers!! I think divot was referring to general shot game chips around the green.....??.....
lob wedge
- Thread starter theeaglehunter
- Start date
Eaglehunter, for what its worth I have a spare mizuno mp-t black nickel (its actually like a bronze/silver colour) 60degree 5 deg bounce wedge. Its been used maybe 20 times and a little practiced with, still in decent condition less than a year and a half old (non rusting materials). £30 plus a fiver postage if you want, I bought it for 89.99 back then.
Samer as this only 5 degrees bounce insteqad of the pictured 8.

Going back to Parmo's post. I am a high handicapper and use all my clubs around the green, but i could not be without a 60* lob wedge, I use mine all the time for getting up and down and trying not to roll off the back of the green, always good option for going over tree's too if ya only about 60 yards from the green on the opposite fairway(happens alot to me)
Does anyone ever use there 3 wood or something similar around the greens? My father in law has started doing it,and to great effect (he's also a high handicapper)
I use a 4 iron mostly near the edge of the green for the 30 footers?(bump and run)
What do you guys like to use?

Brendy, Thanks for the offer I would have been interested but as you could have seen from an earlier post, I have chosen and ordered the cleveland cg11, so am no longer in need for a lob wedge. Nice of you to offer though
Doh, I must have looked past that post, sorry matey.

Divot Read this Post form Madandra this is what the Average human being would call ADVICE it answers the question really well. Not derrrrr use a 7iron.Derrrrrrrr!!!!
Can I add to this thread of furiosity? (is that even a word?)
I can see that high handicappers should not be using clubs that require a lot of concentration and practice. It may well be as much use for lobbing a bunker as a 5 wood in the wrong hands. Making use of the full green usually means a sw is plenty to find the short stuff safely and use the extra handicapped shot to limit damage. Now having said that, if a person says they want one and wernt asking for advice on how to hit a shot in the first place then advice on a brand/model would be more beneficial. MD all the way!

Don't worry guys and gals. It was a new moon yesterday. Give him a couple of days and he should revert to just being obnoxious. Trust me - I'm a doctor

Just need to remember that they don't call it the blob wedge for nothing.
At least he isn't after a 64°. that would be silly.

Dave pelz reccomends a 64 deg in his book but that was before all these improvement irons had stronger lofts. but i stilll wouldnt wanna use one.

Speak to your nearest Titleist stockist he can advise you on lofts and bounce on your new vokey wedge (it is the only one to have) approx £70 but worth the extra trust me. I played with mizuno for years but it is nowhere near the titleist. As for nike to wouldn't use one of them if I was paid to bloody awful.
