The golf clubs you NEED to own!

[glenj.taylor]

I HATED my 60° for so long and dreaded what was to come most times I pulled it out to attempt a shot with it.
I decided to change all that and see if it were possible for us to become friends. Spending some alone time together has proven to really been beneficial to both of our existence. Hitting a few hundred balls with it and letting it know I was sorry for neglecting it for so long has led to us becoming fairly decent friends now.
It even blessed me with one of the more memorable moments in my few decades of Golfing. Three consecutive balls hit about the exact same distance of 90yards and within a 10 feet of spread. I haven't been able to come close to replicating that but having done it that one time gives me a peek into what I'm capable of.
Now I can only hope my 60 will be able to convince the rest of my clubs that if they simply cooperate then they won't be cursed at, thrown, and threatened to be turned in for scrap metal so often.

56 in my opinion. Everyone needs that trusty sand wedge. Most versatile club. Can hit off tee into par 3's, bunkers ofc and easy to deloft

[dylancampbell]

That’s probably the last club that any golfer NEEDS 😂

I love my 58, use it anywhere from 100 down to around 25 yards. I don't chip with it though. I find the 54 is a lot easier to get close at least for me.

I have a 60, 54, and a 50 (getting a new 58 soon) but I honestly only really use the 54. I can add loft and get it to stop pretty quickly or deloft it and play a nice bump and run, my 60 is either a super spinny shot that rolls off the green or a 120 yard bullet over it, no in between whatsoever.

[UncleRedd]

You are right. Who needs driver when I've got a 60 in the bag. I've hit some of longest greenside drives with one.

[luigihoratio]

Thoroughly agree with a Lob Wedge.

I just put one in the bag a week ago and I fine tuned it to a tip trimmed to length variant in an X-Flex shaft.

My dispersion was so minimal to the point I was leaving shots less than a yard from the pin.

Looks like 2023 has big things awaiting like breaking 75 on my end lol

And in 18 holes as well (couldn't break 80 for a full round this year but it's looking good).

[jefftaylor]

It depends on the course. You can loft a 56 all you need on soft conditions

[RollsReus-tmhu]

Couldn’t agree more. Beginner golfer, got a beginner set which includes everything but the wedges. Played a round and was bemoaning not having something with a higher loft than 47 degrees. A 60 would have been used on half the holes if it was in the bag

[leesparrow]

My 64° is my favourite club! All my wedges go up in 6° increments. 46, 52, 58, 64.

[GrammarPD]

I think a lot of confusion for amateurs (me included) comes in when they mistake the situations the LW is good for. Trying to hit a LW with zero trouble in front of you is where I think most people go wrong

[jl]

I agree. You need a 58 or 60 for those short-sided chips onto the green. Might be able to get away with a 56 too. I can’t get enough height from my gap wedge for the ball to stop fast enough.

[omaralkirwi]

Between watching Dan Grieve and getting regular lessons from a pro I realised my lob wedge was just taking up space in my bag. Highest lofted club I have now is 54 and can hit any shot I need around the green

[BloodySoup]

60 is my favorite club in the bag. Use it for anything from 100 yards and in. I'll toot my own horn, I'm damn good with it. If there's a club you are comfortable with then thats the club you'll use most often.

[danielmolinar]

I used to have a 64 before I lost it:( It served as the ultimate loft wedge while I used a 56 as an all round wedge within 110 yards. I have a more conventional set, but I do miss that 64

[anothercomputerguy]

I feel most clubs are equally important but the clubs that are most underutilized for average players like me are fairway woods. I’ve saved myself a lot of trouble off the tee with them since I learned that par 4/5 doesn’t automatically mean driver.

[evanduhon]

56 is my lowest and don’t really feel like I need a 60 yet. Maybe if I get a little better I will.

[TheDeityRyan]

My friends are 30 handicappers and they need to never touch a lob wedge

[thehighhandicapgolfer]

There are so many high handicap golfers that cant hit a sand wedge consistently much less a lob wedge.
We need more content for the average golf hack. Rick and other scratch golfers/ pga pros are just hard to relate to…

[dj-markmiller]

Just getting back in to golf and purchased an old second hand Ben Hogan 60 degree as I always felt that was missing when I played as I was never confident with my SW round about the green which is all I had as an option
