Kind of an aside from the question, but you're likely doing yourself a disservice by chipping with a lob wedge. [/ QUOTE ] The one thing he posts about that he's stoked on and you suggest a change? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

I dont really chip with my lob wedge, I just bought it yesterday, I just went to the range, and practiced in my backyard to get a feel for it and it helped me to get a feel for the short game a little better. it taught me how to get the ball in the air. it helped me enough, that I could set up a bucket 20 feet away, and after figuring out how far back to take the club, I could get it in th bucket about 50% of the time. Would Id like to be able to do, is be able to basically do that from 10 feet, up to 300 ft (maybe not directly in the bucket, but close obv).

You're on the right path doing what you're doing...eventually, learn to do that with your other clubs too, and you'll be well along to having a killer short game.

As with everything golf related, there are rarely absolute rights and wrongs. Many tour players use the L wedge almost exclusively, while others use different clubs for different trajectories. OP isn't a tour player, but that doesn't necessarily mean he is wrong for using the L wedge for most greenside shots.

That being said, I'd be much more inclined to support a tour player's decision to chip with a lob wedge than a non-tour player. For most players it simply makes your margin for error in ball striking prohibitively small.

Even Mickelson has been getting away from the L wedge a lot.

Re: How do you remember everything? (swing questions)
I use one 56 degree wedge for everything 100 and in. Through practice I've been able to learn various different types of shots.
I find that the easiest way to think about distance with a wedge is to think in terms of the old clock analogy. A 6 O'clock backswing goes ____ yards, a 9 ___ yards, 11 ____ yards and so on. You just need to practice hitting various shots with these clubs until you are comfortable with their distances AND how the ball reacts when it hits the ground, (stops, hits and rolls 10 yards, hits and rolls 5 yards etc).

Re: How do you remember everything? (swing questions)
On the Lob wedge debate:
I recall L wedges getting popular a while ago because of how seemingly effortless it was to get the ball airborne. It was as if every one was always facing 15 yard shots from fluffy rough over a sandtrap and a tight pin location. I think this goes hand-in-hand with the average golfers inability to get the ball in the air with a regular P/S wedge. The same problem that leads to all of the decelerating chip shots, scooping and thin "worm burning" skulls. It's like hitting out of the sand near the green, everyone wants to take a slow short swing and lift the ball out of the bunker all dainty like without touching the sand.
