Morning

I am a high handicapper and currently have my PW (44) and SW (54) that came with my Callaway X2 HOT set. Last year I bought two 2nd hand Mack Daddy wedges off ebay. A 50 degree and 10 bounce MD3 and 58 degree and 8 bounce MD3.

I like the PW and SW full or 3 quarter shots but my go to club for my chip and runs is the 50 degree 10 bounce MD3.

My problem is that the 58 degree 8 bounce MD3 tends to cut into the ground and this does stop me using as much as I should.

The question is whether I am better getting a 58 degree with higher bounce?

Thanks
 
Can you explain why?


Little example of how good the k grind is. Few lob shots over a bunker. Off soft ground and even rolled a few into the same divot and still clipped them out easy enough. I'd be impressed if someone could do that so easily with a low bounce wedge.
