Anyone ever use Solus Wedges? I wanted to add the 61 de to my bag instead of my hybrid? What are your thoughts

Answer 1

I use Solus wedges and can tell you that you will never find easier to hit wedges. If you're looking for a lob wedge and have never had one or have a hard time hitting traditional lob wedges, the Solus is the only one you should consider.

It's hard to say exactly what you need since I don't know you, have never seen you play, and don't know your current setup. If you're currently playing with a standard set of irons (3-PW) and a sand wedge, you should definitely add another wedge. Any top golf instructor will tell you to play with at least 3 wedges (PW, SW, LW) and many will tell you 4 (add a Gap Wedge) is better for less skilled players. Even if you stick with 3, that means you can still have a fairly traditional set, with a Driver, 3 and 5 wood, 3-PW, SW, LW, and putter. If you want to get some hybrids, you should replace the 5 wood, and maybe even the 3 iron.

Another option to consider that would allow a more well balanced wedge setup would be to remove the traditional (56 degree) Sand Wedge, forget about the 61 degree LW, and add 53 and 59 degree Solus wedges. This would give you an even loft change between your three wedges, and still provide you with plenty of versatility in short yardage situations.

Good luck and have fun.

Answer 2

Yes, my best golf bud has them and I'm trying to buy some pre-owned Solus wedges.

Somehow they work much better than traditional wedges out of the rough and sand. Solus’s bounce design really works. Also, I’ve had the shanks for the last six months and the Solus wedges are truly shank proof. If you’re a 15 and above handicapper and don’t get consistent short game ball contact, then Solus wedges are going to be about the same as any other. If you’re a mid skill level player, you’ll notice the difference.

Do you play a lot of tournament golf? My buddies don’t care how many clubs I bring. Why not carry an extra hybrid and carry a Solus 61 degree?

You should only buy a lob or 61 degree wedge if you’re shooting in the 80’s consistently. Higher handicappers will probably skull a lob wedge more often.

Solus Wedges

Answer 4

Pick up the november 07 "Golf Magazine" it is in the top 6 wedges . It talks about it. But be careful because hybrids are good to have. what really matters is if u hit the hybrid well. IF u do stick with the hybrid. Also if u have a 56 and 60 degree wedges already than don't bother. good luck!

Answer 5

One of the best golf pros in CT during the 1940's was Eddie Burke who said " A poor mechanic blames his tools for doing a bum job. " An excellent mechanic can work with anyone's tools and do an excellent job." So my thoughts are along Mr. Burke's lines. I do agree that the right hybrid should replace the longest iron( 2, 3,or 4) because it is an easier club to use. A pitching wedge, intermediate loft wedge and sand wedge should be enough for any golfer. Practice them from various distances, from various lies, at various swing speeds and you will have a combination of shots which will amaze your buddies!! 61degrees is too limited a club and is only useable in certain lies and short distances.

No, yet existence exceeded me lemons. So, I took your suggestion. I made lemonade. Then some recommend man or woman stole, no longer purely my lemonade, however the refrigerator wherein it became saved. i'm waiting for the seeds to boost right into a sparkling lemon tree.
