Slacker and Whiner
After along and hard played summer of golf non-stop, I am now rethinking my bag, where I want my game going and where I actually see it going next summer. I know what has worked, what hasn't, and what still might.
I have messed with a gap, sw, and lob all summer and here's my current thinking...
I like using my set's regular pw more than any other wdge I've tried. Now with the S57's being my main set and the custom grind on the pw, it is awesome, even more options. I know those 10 yards out and such should be a lob or whatever, but 9/10 times I feel and perform better just opening up my pw.
While I like the idea of a gap wedge and like using one, I rarely do so I have basically decided to totally take them out of play.
Sw, as I think, I'm never really in traps that often, usually just short of them:bulgy-eyes: 80% of the courses I play and will be playing don't have the super fluffy sand, medium fluff at best, but there are a few.
I do like a sw with around 10* of bounce, though I know I should likely play one with 12-14 for fluffy sand and deep rough that I do encounter every few rounds where the higher bounce would help.
Lw, forget it. I can practice in my yard and the range for hours and be nailing it, on the course, 3/5 times I would have been better off with my pw opened up!
I truly think I will forget about the gap and lob wedge this year. I'll opt to put in the niblick (as it is versatile) instead of the gap...to me even trade on distance and opens up a few more uses...case closed there.
Here's my real questions...I want the option to add an additional hybrid opposed to an extra wedge. So my bag would actually be 47pw and ?
I know this goes against the norm, but I have a method to my madness!
So, so I opt for a 54 -10 or 57-14? I have my heart set on a Chikara and these are the two I can't decide between. The multiple grinds and sole do offer lots of playing options on them (from my readings and ?'s) and they play more like a -2* bounce than what they are.
I'm not worried about having that HUGE gap between the PW and the 54 or 57, again I am totally confident with my pw 100 in, unless it is a bunker or super steep greenside shot.
...BUT, would like to continually improving shorter wedge useage and control, so one wedge would help me here as well.
Another reason for losing some wedges is that I waste shots deciding which to use. Two wedges would equal more confidence as I'd be using them more often since there are only two:act-up:

) and how I hit it. Sound is an amazing component I never factored in back then. See that VJ sound temp device he's using?
