Can a golfer hate an inanimate object like a golf club? I hate my 60 degree wedge. Hate it! Ever since that Pelz guy popularized the 4 wedge concept, I've lost more strokes than I've gained. What's the point of a 60 degree club if you already have a 56 or a 58 in the bag? Open the 58 two degrees and you have a 60. And please spare me the "you increase the bounce" argument. A 58 degree with say 10 degrees of bounce only changes a couple degrees - meaningless. And not to put too fine a point on it, how does one know he's opened club face 2 degrees? That's an infinitesimally small change. I recently had conversation with a golfer who "needed" a 60 degree wedge, a Vokey. He spent a half-hour in the golf shop looking at 60's's but couldn't find one with the "correct" bounce.. There were 10 and 12 degree bounce heads but he insisted that he "needed" an 8 degree because of the hard fairways. The guy "knew" exactly what he needed because he read Pelz's book. He's a 19 handicapper who has never broken 90. Now, with a 60 degree, he'll raise scores rather than lower them. I told the guy to get a 56 or a 58 with the least bounce available. Nope, gotta do what the book says works. Even worse, I have yet to find a Vokey or a Cleveland or a Callaway wedge that measures what is stamped on the head. Not one single time. The cost of advertising strikes again. TFlan
