   Thanks Rich, I have decided to start with the G20 10.5° Driver (L58+), I got tired of my old driver giving me 230y into the wind, totally unacceptable form master tees. I already love my G20. I guess I will try to decide on a good Lob wedge next. I'm thinking of the ATV 64° wedge (L39+), I like the shorter (50') distance or the Cleveland cg16 64° wedge (L39+), I like the higher trajectory, but how is with the real short chips.

  Anyone have a better idea? Or which of these would you choose?

  Thanks everyone

  Both are very good wedges. The two most important things are swing speed and matching to your pitching wedge. The attributes are similar but the Clevelands do have better spin.

  Swing speed should preferably be a close speed throught the bag, it helps continuity and by matching to your desired irons will save you having to buy new wedges later on. The G20s have a 115 pw, so would work backwards from there - leaves 100yd wedge and 15 yrd increments from there. I know the full 50yd wedge sounds good, but remember the punch options, many players simply forget to use this.

  Pleased you love the driver - it is a great club. I had starters clubs when I made Masters and had no option but to upgrade lol, Sadly I didnt ask the forums and made a few dud choices along the way! If any of us can prevent that happening to someone else we have acheived something.

  The Clevelands take more getting used to than the ATV's And I found that there were very few times when the extra spin was needed. When I was coming up through the lower tiers and I couldn't decide between the advice of different people on a thread I always went with the one with the better scrambling stats.
