Okay, in this segment we're going to use the pitching wedge. Now you can see that we've
got sand as barriers in front of me and I'm not, I don't have an opening to the green.
So this is a very big green. You can, it's probably about forty yards long. So I'm about
forty five to fifty yards from the front of the green and the green is pretty big. So
if the shot that I want to hit is just on the other side of that sand trap, I probably
wouldn't use this club because I don't get enough loft on it. It's only forty eight degrees
versus the sixty degree wedge or the sand wedge or those clubs opened up create even
more loft. So this club, if I was trying to get to a pin right on the other side of the
sand, it's going to be tough to do because I don't have enough loft. Now it's possible
to do it, but then you're taking a big risk because if the ball goes into the sand, then
you've got to hit out of there. So this is a good chipping club from this distance when
the green's big if the green, if the pin you're going for is further away. So if you want
to hit the green in the middle and then it's going to roll further because the higher lofting
clubs, if you hit them in the middle of the green, they're going to stop right around
there. So this club gives you the ability to hit a lower, longer shot without really
any risk of now going in the trap at all because you're going, you're definitely hitting it
plenty of distance. And because it's less lofted, your risk of skulling it is a lot
lower. So this is a really good shot to use on some of these shots but you've got to know
when to and when not to use this club.
