  I was window shopping in the PRO SHOP,and while looking at the clubs, I noticed something strange. I was looking at the meter speeds and what hit me as odd is this. Why do all of the wedges, have the same meter speed? All of the other clubs, have different speeds depending on brand as well as levels.But not so with the wedges .Me personally, I like the slow meter being 50yrs young, Im in no hurry. So can somebody explain this to an old man ?And W.G.T. can you slow some of the better clubs down for some of us old folks? Seeeeee Yaaaaaa.

  My theory: since the wedges are essential for success here, and many of us older players play here, WGT knows this will cause us to buy balls with feel to slow these manic rascals down. My 2 cents.

  Once you upgrade your clubs, the meter speed is fairly considtent across your bag.

   

  use GI (Game Improvement) balls to slow your meter, look for the 'feel' rating
