Ugh, the dreaded chunk!!! Hopefully you get some work in and get that touch back quickly!league night I struggle with a couple portions of my game and they were all of the short variety.. this was nothing to do with the wedges… my touch is the last thing that comes back at the start of the season… I had a couple good chips but more decelerating chunks…also trying to get used to using a 58 around the green rather than a 60.
If I can get some practice in I think I will like it more but for now just taking it one step at a time
Ya just lack of confidence right now, but love the potential these wedges have.Ugh, the dreaded chunk!!! Hopefully you get some work in and get that touch back quickly!
The hardest thing for me right now is trying to put things into play that lessons are trying to teach while on mats, and have it translate to on turf.Ya just lack of confidence right now, but love the potential these wedges have.
I struggled over the winter, as I always do, with chips and partial shots. There is no grass underneath the ball and it's usually soft, so the club just digs into the ground. Now that we have grass growing in, I'm not such a disaster around the greens.The hardest thing for me right now is trying to put things into play that lessons are trying to teach while on mats, and have it translate to on turf.
Hopefully I can avoid shank city to start the year!
It is quite the difference going to real grass vs the yuck or mats. Great shots.I struggled over the winter, as I always do, with chips and partial shots.

Had two really good shots today with the 54* S Grind from the fairway that I put about 3 feet from the pin from about 105 out. Starting to see the wedge game get into shape and excited for the rest of the season.
Thank you. I really struggled over the winter so I'm stoked to see some good shots finally and being able to clip the chips around the green like I want.It is quite the difference going to real grass vs the yuck or mats. Great shots.
You're close to the coast and the salt air, those wedges should patina up in no time! What wedges were you playing before the Jaws Raw?Wedge game is so important and since moving into the Jaws Raw, I’ve never knew just how much of a weapon that area of the bag could be. I have the 54 & 58* wedges dialed in to the point any time I have one of the wedges in hand I know I’m going to have a putt inside of 10’. That trend continued today and the guys I was playing with said you just need to get into wedge distance on every hole and walk away with a one putt.
I love how the raw wedges are coloring up a bit as it adds flavor.

54X and 58J. I have been very impressed with the 58J Full Toe grind because at first I cringed at the sight of it. Now it the club I gravitate to pulling out of the bag any time I need a wedge in hand.What grinds are you playing?
I’ll grab a picture of them when I get out in the garage. Prior to these I had a mishmash of wedges in the bag…Vokey, Homna, and a J40.You're close to the coast and the salt air, those wedges should patina up in no time! What wedges were you playing before the Jaws Raw?
I just had some patina show up on my 58*. I wiped them down after most shots and especially if they are wet. I will grab a photo next time I'm out.I’ll grab a picture of them when I get out in the garage. Prior to these I had a mishmash of wedges in the bag…Vokey, Homna, and a J40.
Now I’m squared away with some Callaway goodies! I’m thinking about adding another wedge, but just not sure where I’m leaning.
Talk to me about the J Grind, how are you finding it for versatility? You play different grasses/conditions than I do, I'm interested to hear how it's working for you. Do you play mostly square face wedge shots, or do you open/close the face to play different kinds of shots with it?54X and 58J.

That is one thing I have noticed...no digging or chunking with my wedges. I probably just jinxed myself, but these are so good even off tight lies. The course my league play is at has tight lies all over the place. The confidence I have with these in hand allow me to not focus on what the outcome is going to be.I just had some patina show up on my 58*.

I've mentioned it here recently, but I am so glad the grass is growing in now that winter is over. The bare lies were brutal over the winter with the dormant bermuda. I am starting to see how good these wedges are around the green and longer shots. I am not having any issues clipping even on the tighter lies and able to open up the face of my 58* Z grind.
Oh my goodness the versatility is off the charts. In the past I around the green I would use a 54* for anything outside of a bunker shot and that was what I used my 58* for. I can't tell you the last time I have chipped with a 54* around the green. The J Grind has allowed me to open the club up and throw the ball closer to the hole knowing that it is going to stop quickly. Or if I want to close and square the face up for a low runner I am going to get two skips and the ball is going to check up. Have I used the grooves out towards the toe...absolutely and was done on purpose as it allows me deaden the impact and distance with a draw based flight pattern.Talk to me about the J Grind, how are you finding it for versatility?
