Precisely what I was looking for and without a bunch of fluff. Thanks!

Such a good and simple video, everything I needed as a beginner to decide what to carry in the bag. Thanks!

[eadams]

Thanks, I learned what the “A” iron was. Attack or Gap wedge.

Old video I know, but you forgot about the UL or “ Ultra Lob” wedge. Mine is a 72* loft and it’s great! It’s for 10-30 yard shot, basically for getting over some steep obstacles with a take off angle in the air of anywhere from about 75* to 65*, depending on how you hold the face of the club. I like it better than using a sand wedge to chip the ball and having it roll too far. With the UL, my ball comes back down and barely rolls at all. I’m constantly surprising my golf buddies with some incredible shots using that wedge. When I take it out for use, I always jokingly say to my buddies, “ Time for some Michelson Magic!” …but on occasion, I totally blow the shot all together. Haha.

I'm happy 😊 for this and I just added a 52' Lazarus to my 65'.so this was just great 👍

Thank you so much!! This helped so much! 👍👍👍

Around the green, I’d recommend a 7-iron, used with a putting stroke for bump and run. Better control with one or two bumps and a good roll out.

My Titleist DCI AW was carried over to my set of AP1 718's to replace the stock GW. Best choice for my short game ive made in awhile. Hitting a 100 yard approach shot right next to the pin with a club I'm super comfortable with matters way more to me than all my clubs looking the same😂😂😂

Nice vid Donal, don’t think my game is good enough to warrant 4 wedges though! Don’t think I’ve ever hit a pitching wedge 135 yards either.

[mrdudelove]

I have a 47pw, 52gw, 58lw that i use for my sand wedge too...ATV grind
I dont think that 4 wedge is needed...its tuff enough to play the game ...no need to stress out more wich wedge should i use from 60 yards....i just choke down my gw half swing or LW full zwing

[mikefarrell]

135 with a wedge, yours has a p on the bottom, mine has an 8 on the bottom donal

[ShooterSanoff]

I need a gap wedge bad. Have a PW that i hit as far as my 9 iron and a SW and a 60 degree (LW) i need an AW or GW (52 degree for the middle area between my 60 and SW

[ragil]

Thx u, now i know, different between Pw for my 90-120meter, Approach Wedge used near green, Sand wedge which i want to buy with loft 58, and double functions as Lw(Lob), i choose Titleist SM6 loft 58. But i confuse, different L grind and S grind ?

[machone]

Thank goodness. I thought those were someone's initials.

[ErrorPagenotFound-igcy]

That dude scalped the heck outta that grass lol 0:04

[fluffmcgruff]

Gap wedge 105. I can do that, when I blade the hell out of it and it burns across the green 40 yards....
