lol You got to remember Rick is an old fart and they often talk to themselves.  :D  

 

Actually after talking to a friend of mine who is a golf pro I went with the midsize with a couple extra wraps.   It balanced the weight out closer to original spec and it feels good. Win Win.

Yep that is correct and it will probably work for the majority of golfers out there.   

Well it is like any other club ya gotta "tune" it to fit you and your game.

Great review Ole, look forward to reading more about how and where you have used this club.

I use a chipper to run it up and close to the greens to keep down.

Might have to look into this one!

Thanks!

 

Thanks buddy!  Yea the SSW is a versatile club to say the least.  I've hit shots from 75 yards in with no problem.  The ball does not check like it does with a conventional wedge however that's not an issue for me.  I'm not a big spin player around the greens.  The good thing about the SSW is you have 60 days to return it if it doesn't suit ya fancy.  If you decide to try one, post your thoughts (good or bad) in this thread for others to see.  The more info the better!

Sorry for the brief thread-jack.  Had to poke a little fun, Rick  :D.  OG, does changing the grip void the 60-day trial, or is that something a little air won't fix?

I don't know this for sure (I'm not on the company payroll yet... jk ;) ) however I'm thinking it must be returned as received.

I don't know why you're not on the payroll yet.  You're way more convincing than any infomercial they could produce.  You've got me sold.  If only I wasn't such a cheap SOB.....

I didn't play well today however one of the bright spots is when I chipped in for a birdie on the 3rd hole to pick up two dots.  The SSW also saved a couple of pars for me from tough spots around the green. Besides the birdie chip in my next best shot was a 70ish yard shot that finished 5 feet behind the hole.    Yea the pocket picker made a little change today...  ;)

After chunking 3 short chips yesterday I decided to pull the trigger on this club. Those 3 shots cost me my flight in the tournament. Should've easily shot 79, but wound up with an 82. Horrible. Only issue is what club to take out. Thinking my 54 but it's a very tough decision!!

Good for you and I hope you will enjoy yours as much as I do mine.  It took me some time to figure it out and I still occasionally hit some squirrely shots with it however overall, I have hit way more quality shots.  You will be sent an email by Square Shot Wedge that has several very good tips by Andy North.  This will help you practice some good techniques. 

 

Yesterday I was hitting shots out of our practice bunker and the lip was fairly high.  I was surprised at how well the shots flew out and landed soft.  I tried to video them however the short little tripod I have did not work well so I'm looking at getting a taller one for my Iphone.  I  suppose I could pull the golf cart close to the trap and sit the small tripod I have on the seat and try that. 

 

It's very easy to hit high pitch shots from up to 100 yards with it.  The loft is 45 degrees and most strong PW's these days are at 44 so it flies similar distances. 

 

When you get yours post your thoughts so it will help others decide if they want to try one.  Remember you have 60 days to try it and if it doesn't work for you, full money back refund.

The SSW helped me win $15.00 today.  The funny thing being I hit more good shots with it from 100 yards in than the close greenside chips.  It blew me away with the number of nice high wedge shots I hit with the aka pocket picker!   I struggled with it around the greens as my touch was crappy however we all have those kind of days.   With that said this might be my go to wedge from 100 yards in.  :D

I figure you have 3 more 18 holes and the Green Monsta will pay for itself? Close....?

Ok guys I promised ya'll some wedge shots with the Square Strike Wedge.  I hopped on the range and hit three shots prior to my round Thursday morning.  The first shot I hit a mid high trajectory and the last two were high to show the versatility of the club.  If you watch closely you can see the ball flight as it heads towards the red pin 100 yards out.  All three balls were moving in a great line towards the pin with the mid flight shot reaching 120 yds..  Pretty good for what some people call a chipper huh?  ;)

 

Oh and by the way, don't laugh at my homemade swing because the pocket picker might come hunting you down. They don't teach that sort of swing in golf schools.  In fact, they run from em.  :D

 

Ok without further ado the pocket picker seeking the 100 yard red flag on my driving range.  Later the guy driving the ball picker upper came by and said , "hey dude you trying to ring my bucket or something?"  :P

One of the guys I'm playing with today uses a SSW and he's been telling me how much it's helped him as his scoring has greatly improved. I'm told. (this guy for some reason always cards a low score when I'm not playing with him.) So today I'll keep and eye on him and his awesome SSW mastery. We shall see.
