But how far do you hit the ball with it?

 

[Orange Blazer]

About 325 of it was the guy, 50 of it was the club and 75 of it was either altitude, wind or a very dry landing area.

That's what I was thinking.

But how far do you hit the ball with it?

it's an 80 degree, so it usually spins back about 40 yards, so it's good for about a 90 yard shot

 

[BigPapaVol]

when you're holding it off, right?

Bet you put some serious gills on the ball with that.

nope, it's grooveless to help minimize spin. With those swing speeds, he's never had a ball last a full hole, even just driving the green and rocking surlyn.

I am going to give the launch monitor a go to see if it is worth me pursuing the long drive competitions. I'll post a picture of my results. I ain't skeered!

What is the point of a 70 something degree wedge?

So you can blade it or hit it in the head and knock it 150yds over the green

 

[volfanbill]

what's your handicap and tee designation?

Right now I've worked my way back to decent if I were to guess. My game is actually coming back together now that I'm playing regularly again. Last four rounds were 84, 83, 89 and an 85. Haven't computed handicap in a couple of years.

Then say you hit your 70 degree wedge 150 yards.

club for people who don't understand bounce and opening the face.

club for people who don't understand bounce and opening the face.

I love opening the 60 up. The ninth hole at one of the base courses here lines up right with the driving range and my buddy and I will sit on the tee box for 15 minutes trying to hit all the range balls back over the top of the net. Object is to see who can do from the closest distance (obviously)

This thread has had me rolling the past two pages worth. Where did BC go?

BC is currently hitting knuckle ball wedges over his cap bill, into orbit and grabbing them in a catcher's mitt on the way down. Cool trick.

 

[doozer]

Nah, he's shagging balls on the moon.

 

[Spartacavolus]

i told my 4th grader that this new math was going to cause problems

It's a perfect club for someone whose brainwashed by Dave Pelz.

Pelz is spot on about a lot of stuff, but avoiding feel is crazy to me.

I've always thought it was strange to tell people to avoid feel but ask them to feel where a waist high swing was.

 

[Vols520]

My 56 is medium bounce, but my 60 has very little blunce.

Wtf is going on in this thread? Cliffs please...
I have gathered that BC

carries a 70 degree wedge? Just asked my buddy to call Scratch and see if that is possible.
will long drive for money? Does it have to be a VN member cause I know a few guys that will sign up for some action.
shoots in the low 70's everytime...I would love to play you for some cash.

How do you know so many Tour players?

 

[VolBBQKing]

You don't have to be a tour player to hit it a long way. Yes I do know a few "tour" players. Good players know who other good players are.
