Taylormade Xft

It might have escaped everybody’s notice but keeping the club face clean on your Irons is critical to maintaining consistency when playing your shots. Every Tour Pro does this (or rather their Caddies do) and so should we as aspiring amateurs. It’s even more critical when it comes to hitting your wedges. Once you get within 120 yards of the green, this is the area where you need to get all the cards stacked in your favour when playing your approach shots. If you want to lose shots off your handicap – then keep your wedges clean. The cleaner your clubs, then the more backspin and stopping ability you will develop on the ball.

Lets think about this now, as the greatest ideas are often the simplest and the simplest one would be: When playing a round of golf take 2 towels with you, one wet and one dry, use the combination of the two after every shot be it long, medium or short irons to removed dirt and debris from the face..

If you take the Lob wedge as the typical example, you are looking to develop height, spin and pin point accuracy. This doesn’t happen by chance but by making sure you do everything to keep the club face clean. The club makers out there spend millions on developing grooves in the face of wedges that are cut to a maximum depth allowable. The job of these grooves is to generate as much contact with the ball as possible during your shot and this is done by channelling debris away from the club face. The more debris you remove, the better the contact, the more spin you develop and ultimately confidence and consistency will follow.

The Taylormade XFT Lob Wedges have a fully exchangeable face to keep the grooves at ultimate performance. Taylormade recommend that the faces are changes up to 2 times a year for a top amateur and once for the average weekend golfer. Tour Pro’s can change the faces on their Lob wedges once a week!. That sounds expensive Wear and tear will affect the consistency of your shots but keeping on top of the cleanliness of the face of the 4 wedges (Lob Wedge, Gap wedge, Pitching wedge and sand wedge) will help reap better rewards. Invest in a small bristle brush and get used to cleaning you clubs every time in between shots. It’s one less thing to worry about and one additional trick to improve your game. If you can get into these small habits then who knows just how much your game could improve by?

2 questions about wedges..?

I’m buying 2 new wedges. I tested out many and decided I wanted the Taylormade xft. I was stuck between vokeys and these taylormades. I decided on the Taylormade because of the exchangeable face.
Anyway I’ve run into some problems… 1. bounce on my sand wedge. These wedges only come with 12* of bounce of 16* degrees of bounce. I feel like 12* might not be enough for chipping out of rough and that 16* might be too much for full swings on fairway. I take big divots usually so i heard that more bounce is good if one takes big divots.
2. I’m debating between getting a 60* wedge or a 64* degree wedge. What are your thoughts on this?

As for bounce, it depends on your home course(s) turf conditions. If they’re hard, you want less (<12*) bounce. If they're soft, you want more. If it's in between, or you play multiple courses, stick with the "average" of 12*. As for chipping/pitching, you don't need special bounce for that. Most wedges today are ground to have less bounce for the shots used with an open face.

As for set makeup, I personally don't recommend the 64* (but that's just me). There should be 4* difference (the "ideal" spacing) between all your wedges. Start with the PW and go from there. However, there are other schools of thought. Some like 3* seperation (creating a 5 wedge set), some like 5*, others like 6*. The point is, with consistent loft gaps, distance spacing is easier to control... not just for full shots, but chipping, partial-swings and pitching, as well.
