  Hello, I bought the club over the weekend and been working with it, but i'm having a problem with it and wondering if anyone else was to? What i'm doing was trying to find different distances with it (70-60yrds) but what i'm doing is the avatar movements top of back swing then back off to the 1st movement what i think should be (70yrds) then i try 2 moves down (60yrds),but now this one is more like (70+).  So was I wondering if anybody else did this test too. THX

  For me, 5 yards per move is proving fairly consistent through 4 moves with the 60w. With the 56w the 5 works for the first 2 moves but increases to about 7 for the third and 8 for the 4th. This is with the Tour-SD ball at BPB in low wind, approximately 50 shots with each wedge. All shots were in the fairway, landing on fairway with zero spin.

  Would you recommend getting one of these wedges?

  Without question. Learn them now and you'll have them a long time. 100w,  80w,  Satin 64 and you don't need the expensive ball.  :-)

  I like the Callaway balls because of the spin I get with some of my irons. Not sure I want to sacrifice that for a wedge.

  The GI3d balls with the 100yrd and 80yrd i can spin ball back like the Callaway ,With Callaway spin back to the fairway where you hit from,and do it again.   lol      Fairways&Greens

  Are the CG16 wedges between levels 74 and 80 worth the investment? I have the lower level ones, but do I need slightly more distance/precision/spin? You often hear people say that the "better" CG16's spin too much?

  Yes, definitively. extra precision etc well worth it, as for the spin as much as you ask for, putt full back spin on expect it to come back big time, but used well very helpful. Also you can use balls with less spin to make this easier and cheaper. Enjoy
