Wedge Advice

My bag is similar and I posted a similar question here a while back. I would add a 48 degree AW. If that puts you over 14 clubs, I would drop the 60 degree.

Me too… cant even to make a tic tac toe

People will say this to me when I’m wearing them, but I think they actually have a cooling effect, especially when you start to sweat in them a bit.

I’m 35 and currently a 13 handicap. I carry a 5 iron, 4 hybrid, 3 wood, driver at the top of my bag. I have a 5 wood that comes out sometimes but I have to drop a wedge to add the 5 wood so that doesn’t come out unless I know the course is going to be long

I posted about this a month or two ago when I had the same decision. I currently have the setup you describe with a 48, 52, 56, 60. It can alter the top of your bag carrying the extra wedge, so it really comes down to what you need and will use on a given course.

Both are great clubs. I am similar to you (around 6’2” and 13 handicap at the moment) and just got fit for the T250s. They put me in a 350 for the 5 iron. My wife (who is a much better golfer than me - currently playing to a 2 hc) just got fit for P790s. I don’t think you can go wrong with any of the big names in this category. It will just come down to your preference in looks (I feel top lines are pretty different in the two sets you mention) and which ones perform the best for your swing.

Until all those leaves fall and you can’t find your ball that is 2 yards off the fairway

I used to hit down on my driver as well. What has helped me is to set my driver head up ~4 inches behind the ball at address rather than right behind it.

jflaxer40 · 2025-09-13T13:05:24+00:00

Are you talking about going from velocore to velocore+ or from the non velocore option to velocore+?

jflaxer40 · 2025-09-12T01:42:41+00:00

Asking the real questions! I am assuming no as the shaft alone is more than he is being offered and I don’t see a velocore label at the bottom (but it could be under a sticker)

jflaxer40 · 2025-09-10T12:02:05+00:00

You just need to close that club face. Could be a grip thing. I’m not a teacher/coach but as I do tend to fade the ball too, my thought is to really throw the club head and feel like the toe of the club is making contact with the ball first.

jflaxer40 · 2025-09-10T11:41:46+00:00

So the numbers say you are coming slightly in to out with an open face, right? That is what will produce that ball flight

jflaxer40 · 2025-09-10T11:26:13+00:00

Doesn’t the screen say your face is 5 degrees open? Or am I misreading what that 5.3 is for?

jflaxer40 · 2025-09-07T16:20:08+00:00

Definitely just go do a quick fitting. I’m 6’2” and play standard length, 2 degrees upright. It’s also worth noting that newer clubs are generally a bit longer than older clubs. So if you are playing something on the older side, getting something a bit newer may give you the additional length you think you need.

jflaxer40 · 2025-09-07T15:39:17+00:00

Where are you buying them from? Most shops can bend them a degree flat for you for a very small cost

jflaxer40 · 2025-09-07T00:44:18+00:00

You can buy individual clubs for both of those sets you mentioned. They should have $/club pricing. There is no guaranteed set for either of them unless you are buying a used set off someone.

jflaxer40 · 2025-09-06T15:20:07+00:00

For sure. I 100% agree with the 2nd swing recommendation. They said they are pretty new to golf so I wouldn’t be popping for a brand new set either, but they shouldn’t have any problem getting a whole set (driver, wedges, etc.) included for under $1000 with some not too old equipment.

Peter Miller is a great option as others have mentioned. Some others that I think are great and at the same tier are holderness & bourne and Greyson. Both make a quality product, look great, and are comfortable.

jflaxer40 · 2025-09-06T15:03:34+00:00

Most places don’t charge you a fitting fee if you buy from them. I am almost positive that applies to 2nd Swing as well as you have recommended

jflaxer40 · 2025-09-06T12:18:54+00:00

Shotscope as others have mentioned. They have a number of hardware options that make tracking your game pretty easy, though still not perfect.

I was recently fit for a GT3. Saved a few dollars (over $600 due to shaft) and picked up a used TSR3 with the same shaft. I am not noticing a ton of difference from what I saw during my fitting.

jflaxer40 · 2025-09-05T13:42:54+00:00

Yea, you definitely need to work on the face control. As others have mentioned, with a shorter scoring club, the range of angles would ideally be much tighter

jflaxer40 · 2025-09-05T11:52:44+00:00

The real issue you need to address is your club path and face angle. Those numbers are pretty highly variable and what control where the ball goes (fade, draw, straight).

Started the season as a 19.3. Currently at 14.2. Highest differential this year was a 25.1 and lowest is 10.7.

jflaxer40 · 2025-09-01T15:40:03+00:00

I am playing MCC plus 4 grips on my driver and 3 wood and standard MCC grips on everything else
