A well known left-handed short game specialist on the PGA Tour has taken a real "liking" to Feel Golf's 73 degree wedge and is considering adding it to his repertoire soon. Already known for his amazing shot making ability, the 73 degree wedge is expected to add a whole new element to his game

Get a job. People with jobs don't have time to ponder all the situations where a 68* wedge would come in handy, which I'm thinking would be 2.

That's one more than I came up with, and to answer Torps question that's why I didn't buy it, although for 20 bux it would have been fun to hit on the driving range.

73*, I'd hit myself in the forehead with that.

68* might come close.

I've got a 68 sitting in the garage.  It is great for getting over trees and bunkers when you've shortsided yourself badly.  Sometimes, you can't open a 60 enough.  My 60 has 6 degrees of bounce, the 64 has 4, and the 68-0.

For the most part these wedges are useless for the average golfer.  You must have distance to spare in order to place one of these in the bag.

The last round I played, I had Driver, 5 and 7 woods.  2 iron, 6-PW, 56, 60,64,68 wedges, and of course a putter.

The 2 iron replace the 4 iron as my get out of jail club.  Threading through trees, keeping it under branches, and the longer fairway bunker shots that required a low flight for maximum run out.

I'm not saying I've got distance to spare anymore though.  Used to. :'(

Edit:  I would get the 73 if it weren't so damned expensive.

I have a 66* that I fiddle around with and infrequently take to the course.  They are NOT about distance, they're about height and soft landings.  Great for use when you've short-sided yourself, the green slopes away, the lie is crap and you need a fuller swing, or the greenside bunker has an extra-steep face/lip.
