Matts,
I read
The Short Game Bible (by Dave Pelz) & took the Pelz Short game handicap test
& ended up with a SGhcp of 28. (My USGA index at the time was a 13.5 and is
now a 10.8) At that point I figured out that this is where I need to look
at improving my game and changing my set make-up.
I
think the Tour Series are some of the best heads out there. The Tour
series beat out the Flying D's, Snake eyes, TW's, Team Dynacraft & a couple
of the Golfworks designs (I just didn't like the hump back). Where most of
these heads failed for me was in the bounce category (most had way too
much).
I like
the minimal bounce on the 60° & 64°. I put them together with Dynamic
shafts & Winn grips. They were built to "pelz" specs with the wedges
getting softer as the loft increased. I think this set-up has improved my
up and down percentage around the green as the 64° gets the ball up high &
fast and stops with minimal roll.
FWIW: I used to be one of those that would say
that a 60° wedge is the fastest way to add strokes around the green. The
60 & 64° wedges are not my "go-to" clubs around the green. The 64°
wedge makes it possible to hit higher shots without opening up the face of the
club and risk blading the ball 40 yards.
Hope
this helps
JP

Just a bit curious.
