I feel pretty good, I only really violate one of the top ten rules.  My current Edison wedges are three years old and have about 500 rounds on them.  They really don't look anything like the article's comparison photos, however, it might be worth looking at Edison 2's!  

The article goes on to suggest that people of my meager swing speed should have a driver loft between 12 and 14 degrees.  Right now I'm hitting my Ping G430 Max HL pretty well (accuracy and distance wise) at 10.5 degrees.  It might be worth adjusting it up and seeing the results.

Good article and I am happy to say I at least meet those tem items lol. The biggest win for me was when I bought my new irons I bought only 6-PW. I use hybrids for my 4-5 and I have 3 wedges that I play with for anything shorter than PW. This has been a game changer for me. My misses are not as severe and usually distance is fine with a hybrid allowing me to recover from an errant shot. I would highly recommend others doing the same thing. Like I tell my son, just because you have hit it well in the past, doesn't mean it's the right class. It's what you consistently do with it that matters.

I was in a similar boat when I got new irons. Previous set had a 4 iron that I rarely used if at all. Dropped it, picked up a 4 hybrid and longest irons is a 5. Now the grips mentioned... I'm super guilty of that.

Finally!  Shout it from the roof tops and then even louder for the people in the back.

Love it!

Well I know that I played them for years and finally a couple years ago switched into Players CBs and even GI' to super GI in my long irons and within one summer season went from 14 to 10hdcp and will soon see single digits
