  PSUTOM:

  The MAX Wedges are probably your best bet as soon as you reach level 51

  Or the CG wedges he can have now that would make an immediate difference.  :-)

   

  p.s., Easy to spend other's money, eh?  LOL

  I will look into more wedges.

  I do notice I get more spin in the desktop game than the Android app

  Thanks Yankee.  I don't see any high lofted iron options available at level 41 except beginner clubs.

  Starters aren't exactly high loft - otherways, you are correct. First high trajectory irons are the L59 G25s - others to follow.

  Another reason to go with 4 wedges from short tees.

  Which 4?  I just got a 64 to add to my 60 and 54.  I noticed I can really spin the 64 on full shots from fairway lies.

  Look at the yardage gaps and space them as even as you can and learn the other shots with them-punch, pitch, chip and flop.

  By way of an example, my wedges are 60 80 100 and the set wedge is 120. Nice even numbers that you split up with punches.   50  60  68  80 84  100  103  120.  For me, 90 yards is the weak point but the 100W is very accurate in that range and the 84 yard punch rolls with spin to as much as 96.

  The 4 wedges I carried back when were the 64, 60, 56 and 52 degree wedges. They were oilcan Satins and they're no longer available. If I were to put myself back then with today's equipment, I would have all 4 CG wedges available at level 27.
