Posted April 20, 201410 yr comment_224059 Fellas help needed immediatly, im totally lost here I used to, as in till prob mid of last year use low bounce wedges pretty much exclusively I as most know dont mind a wedge experiment or two. How ever this has me totally flumoxed Gamed my all time faves the tourstage x wedge marus for the first time in a while today Bit chilly today ground hard perfect opportunity to bust em back out Well what a total disaster that was i mean it was just horrendous Absolutely no feel for them was flipping them over ,chinking them ,thinning them , h..h..h..h..hosell rocketing them .., it was all hideous, ionly had one set so i had to game them Luckily i didnt need em much on track as i Used the shingo59 mainly in close (geee thats a good flopper for in close ) forgot how good that is...., Anyway it appears ive completely lost my touch for low bouncers Can some one give me a clue as to what cud have gone on? These used to be absolutely automatic. Stone dead Today im not kidding they were totally lost at sea Whats possibly gone wrong bec. I cant go thru that agn it was most disturbing its not like ive not got replacements at the ready ive been hitting the prgr led and syards and fourteens brillinatly I cant risk that agn ,scared the cripes outta Thoughts pls!,!,,!,!,
April 20, 201410 yr comment_224063 I have that happen to me too, once a year, during the thawing process from a long winter. It is usually a combination of factors. Primarily, an excessive hip slide forward and more over the top swing causing an outside in path. Or at least that is me...
April 20, 201410 yr comment_224064 Since you haven't played the low bounce wedges in a while, it could have simply been a mental thing. Maybe you were excessively trying not to come to steep into the ball to avoid digging that you were overcompensating and being too flat. Just a wild guess though.
April 21, 201410 yr Author comment_224084 the angle wont be the issue bec its the same clubs ive been using for a long time. and there was never a problem previous. shannon its def mental. im just a quivering mess with them in hand now its rediculous. with the bolds tho . its pop forget, same as the prgr and the roy colls. all big bounce. i know..., it must be age.
April 21, 201410 yr comment_224101 just need practice. thats why i never use low bounce wedges. try gaming something high bounce now and see if you have the same results. sure youl get back to pre winter prowess in time
April 21, 201410 yr comment_224102 Have a look at the position of your club when its parallel with the ground...I find the hosel gets in the way when the club head is too far inside and low which in turn makes for varying shot type's such as the one's you refer to.
April 22, 201410 yr Author comment_224122 i did some research yesrteday on the net looking at vids of differnt instructors tthoughts everyone............................. i mean everyone has a differnt idea. the one im most closely linked to if i dont get funky is dave pels idea. that resonates most clearly in my thinking but the isssue isnt so much the technique ( well it prob is but..) ,its more the bounce issue, im not having probs with higher bounce wedges. maybe its time to just move along into th high bounce abysss. sigh ..............,TS maru, i loved u so.
April 22, 201410 yr comment_224128 Here's my thoughts Not turning shoulders. All arms and are pushing with the right hand.
April 22, 201410 yr Author comment_224130 video evidence will help withthat id think J. anyway im going back to the bolds for a while till i get resolved
April 23, 201410 yr Author comment_224164 and just liek that................. golf channes l micheal breed comes to the rescue. was wathing him last night and he just happened to have a range lesson (on wedge play) with scott stallings scott says he has a steep decent in to the ball so he gets his wedges 52-56-60 and bends them 50-54-58 to give them less off set and slightly more bounce, they were at 8 but now more like 9 or 10 beceause....................... heres the kicker............... steep decent needs more bounce to keep from digging ,scuffing etc and that dear folks is prob the answer to the riddle. i have a very steep decent. hence the big bounce = consistancy! so says the pro.
April 24, 201410 yr comment_224209 Makes sense. So does middle age nerves. Wish I was 25 again and had some fine motor skills back!!!

I'm pretty sure that making irons stronger lofted actually INcreases the offset and I know that it DEceases the bounce about 1* for every 1* loft change. Maybe you just mis-typed?
May 11, 201410 yr comment_224881 age has very little to do with it..i have watched countless guys on champions tour chip and putt better then guys half there age
