Posted March 25, 200717 yr 4-PW (Mills MBs w/TC S3 & NC-1s w/1150 stiff) are straight or with a slight draw. The wedges (52, 56 & 60 w/S300 w/slider grinds), with the same swing, are fading on me . I've to aim 10 to 15 yards to the left of the flag to get the ball near the flag. Due to an on/off problem with tennis elbow, the swing path was changed about 2 years ago and so the divot is very shallow with the irons. Any idea?
March 26, 200717 yr I'm thinking maybe the lie angle with wedges. If the swing is the same and you're following through okay I would think lie angle would be the first place to check.

Posture?...resulting in swing plane changes? (irons vs. wedges)
March 26, 200717 yr Author I would go with the videotape.Posture?...resulting in swing plane changes? (irons vs. wedges) Good idea. I'm going to the mirror plus taping the swing for review on C-swing. BTW, I'd the lies checked and they were to spec. Thanks guys.
March 26, 200717 yr Good luck, let us know what you come up with. Just out of curiosity, I noticed you have different shafts in the wedges than in the other irons. Do you think maybe that is somehow causing a difference in contact in the swing? What I'm saying is even though the swing is the same the different spec for the wedge shafts are causing the club head to come in a little flat, leaving the face open? Just speculating here, trying to brainstorm.
March 26, 200717 yr Author I've a 3, 5 and 8 Z101 w/s300 and there's no problem with these clubs. At a sesssion with the pro today, it appears the problem was caused by me "hanging on" to the club and not releasing it which caused the face to be slightly opened at impact. Such a duffer that I am!

Dare I say it, but it is amazing how good my clubs get after a lesson. Seems the same applies to "a crazy golfer".

Seems the same applies to "a crazy golfer". ... and I'm also learning to trust the distance with them wedges. 60*/60 yards; 56*/80 yards; & 52*/100 yards based on full swing instead of babying the swing.
