Why I’m Interested:
I’ve been working on my short game and feel that having a specialized wedge could really help me lower my scores. However, I also want to ensure it’s a good fit for my play style before committing to a purchase.
Any insights or experiences you could share would be really helpful! Looking forward to your input!
I’ve been using the DR Knockdown 80 Degree Wedge for a few months now, and the design really enhances my short game. The groove pattern provides much better spin control, even in wet conditions.
I agree, the weight distribution is excellent! It feels solid when hitting knockdown shots. The materials used in the head also seem to play a part in durability and feel.
I’ve noticed the wedge performs best on softer greens. The bounce design seems to work well in preventing digging, which is crucial for knockdown shots in various conditions.
It’s great how personal preferences can affect how we perceive equipment. For me, I found the feel on contact to be really satisfying, which adds confidence overall.
I bought one after reading the reviews, but it’s a bit heavier than I anticipated. Not sure if I love it yet or wish I’d stuck to my old club. Anyone else feel that way?
I’ve found that the 80-degree wedge is excellent for knockdown shots when the wind is up. You can really control the trajectory by adjusting your stance. Wider stances help with stability during the swing.
That’s great advice, Lisa! I prefer a narrower stance for more precision. It helps me get that distinct thump sound I like when the club hits the ball.
Remember to consider the grass too! The type and condition can affect how the ball comes off the face of the wedge. Wet grass requires a different approach than dry.
