I carry a 20 handicap and my goal is to cut it to 15 or a little better. I've always spent a lot of time on my short game since I can't make many greens in regulation.
I used to feel really good about hitting flop shots and approach shots with a 60 degree wedge, but over the past year I've really lost confidence in this shot. Just too many times I've left it short or worse yet skulled it over the green.
The past several rounds, I've pulled the lob wedge from the bag and relied on pitching shots around the green with my sand wedge (55 degrees of loft and 10 degrees of bounce). I've gotten very good at getting out of the sand with this club and and this seems to be working for me so I was just wondering.....
How many of you that carry 15 or better handicaps carry a 58 degree or higher lob wedge? The high soft flop sure is a great shot to have in the bag, but can I get into the position of shooting regularly in the mid-eighties without this shot and club?
