i have been wondering what the average golfer would like to own, whether it be balls, clubs or even an umbrella!

i have been playing with the Cleveland TA6 Irons for a while now and i must say that for me, they are a great club and the shaft flex offers great help to my swing and i have shaved shots from my game which is what counts i think we all agree. i have just purchased the HIbore 2006 Driver to accomadate my irons and i must admit i bought it purely on instinct and maybe got sucked in by the advertisements and hype surrounding it lol. i am still trying to sort out my fade on my drive which isn't that bad but its bothering me! its fun to chizel away at the faults of my game because i like to see progress...

I am currently on the hunt for a good loft wedge though and wonder if any of you guys can help me out a little and maybe recommend any good quality wedges to me?

thanks!

This is an area I could use some additional education on. I've typically gotten wedges that are nice looking in the first place and then just learned how to hit them well. I can never hit an ugly club well because I just can't stand to look at it.
This year, I think I'm going to have my wedges swing weighted 3-4 weights heavier than my set for the first time because I've heard other people including professional club builders that weight the wedges heavier and its supposed to give you better feel and make it easier to get the club to do the work. On my golf equipment blog, Ralph Maltby has some suggestions regarding this and thats where I got much of my latest information. If you come across anything additional that would be good to know, let me know.

Here are some considerations when purchasing wedges. There is no right or wrong answer to this, the conditions of the golf course or courses that you play will be the determining factor as to what style of wedge you look for depending on whether the surfaces are harder or softer.

Primary Consideration
1. Bounce (How the bottom of the golf club is angled to prevent the golf club from digging into the ground)
Typically, the sand wedge has the most bounce as an example because it is generally used to hit golf balls off of soft material or ground, however some golf courses have somewhat hard sandtraps that aren't fluffy where you would want a wedge with less bounce. You also need to look at the design to see what happens when you open the clubface because many wedges add additional bounce as part of their design as you open the clubface. No bounce would be desirable in hard pack conditions because the club can't dig into the ground and if you use a club with bounce on hard pan, the leading edge is forced into the side of the golf ball rather than being able to get underneath it.

Here is a good video on the topic by PGA Pro Roger Gunn
