Re: Short game equipment

  I want/need to improve my short game. I'm currently using the Z Satin TP's. Would I see any benefits using the Clevelands?

  I have the spider putter + putter pal and my 3 putts are disappearing. 95% of the time I'm getting within 3 foot with my first putt from distance, so I'm happy with this improvement.

  It may be just a case of more practise with what I've got.

  Thanks

  If you really want to improve your short game get a Z Satin 64° wedge, it's a great club, easier to use then the Cleveland one and about as accurate as you'll ever need.  If you want to carry 3 wedges you'll need to drop either your 3 wood or hybrid, personally I'd lose the hybrid, chances are you don't use it often, you'll certainly use a 64° wedge tons more.

  Putters are a very personal choice, many players hate the Spider, myself included, but if you like it stick with it.  Whatever works for you is good.

  Careful with the Clevelands, thay can take a bit to get use to.

  My short game is terrible so I started to play alot of CTTH or Blitze games... Good practise for your short game.

  Cheers

  Yeah Get some pratice with your current. I brought two cleverland wedges 60 and 64 and they do take some getting used to but over all im happy with them. Not happy with the price though... = (

  Too right there.  I've got all 4 of them and find the 64° takes a lot of practice compared to the Z Satin, I'm still having a hard time getting the distances right. The huge amount spin is not something you'll use very often, very rarely in fact in my experience.

  And 895 credits compared to 250 make it a bit of a no-brainer really, guess I had mine switched off when I bought it.
