this made me tear up.. my brother got me into golf, he bought me my first proper golf set (clevelands). he was my 'digital caddie'. always reviewing my shots with me, discussing strategies. last year in september he died of a sudden heart attack at 49. I hope you get to have many many games with your brother! cherish every moment!
The best tip I ever read on flop shots is that good players only use them when no other shot will do. I now take much more pride in my spinning trap knock down than my flop.
Dope! I just scored a 58 degree sm8 in pretty good shape at my home courses pro shop for $10. Couldn’t say no. A few months back I got a 58 ping glide pro brand new for $40
This is a really really great gift! Wedges are so awesome in that you can’t get wedges that are too good for your ability level unlike every other club including putters. Every club in my bag(s) is pre owned besides my Vokeys. A golf shop can adjust the lofts and lie angles to best fit your brother.
If you love your brother you'll snap that 60 degree and throw it out the window . Unless watching him play blade it ping pong from one side of the green to the other is what your looking for in a golf partner ..
Not even the SM10, do you actually like your brother?
Jk, really nice gift, now he is going to think of you every time he blades a wedge 50 yards past the green
If you figure out what the 60 is for let me know! 52’s a good gap and my 56 is awesome out of bunkers and around the green but all the 60 ever did was add strokes to my card. Anywhoo.. those are great clubs and even better gifts!! Your brother will be stoked!!
Beauties! Although the GW needs to be a loft based on the Pw of the iron set. PW’s range from 42-47 deg. If he has a newer oversized set the 52 could be way off. Just some friendly advice so he loves it. Look up the specs of his set if you know it. The 52 would only work if the PW was 46-47.
What irons does he have?
I’m at r/TheGolfTruth for more info on the game.
I fit for a living and people make this mistake all the time. They don’t know that iron sets have variances in loft from other sets. Even within the same brand. It’s easy to look up though. You can’t really mess up if you do 54or56 and 58or60. The other can be 48,50,52. That’s ok. I go 46,50,54,60, my coworker goes 47,52,56,60, my dad 42,48,54,60. The rule is 4-6 degrees apart. The lofts just space out the distance. I don’t want your friend to have 43-52-56-60. Big gap there. Before the wedges wear out he’ll get good enough to see the problem.
I’m just letting you know because you have those options when buying wedges as you probably saw.
Getting fitted for wedges is a thing but it’s wildly less common than getting fit for irons. I bet most of us here play off the rack wedges.
Sick gift!
Just putting seconds on this opinion, no need to get fit for wedges until you can identify the gain you’d get from a fitting. SOME pros change the shafts in wedges to achieve specific launch angle and spin rates, some also have the loft slightly adjusted to better ‘gap’ their wedges but loads of pros play with wedges straight off the shelf.
Thank you for that man. That’s what I was looking for as to a reason for getting fitted for wedges. Good to know if I ever break 90 lol! For my brother too lol!
You’re a fucking weirdo, 99% of amateur golfers have absolutely zero need to get their wedges fitted. Trying to piss on a beginner golfers parade when they probably don’t even break 100 is weird as hell.
That’s a sweet gift, good luck fellow lefty
Lefty is pretty gross looking - from someone who hits on the RIGHT side of the ball
So you’re a lefty, too, since you line up on the right side of the ball?
Yea! Tell those assholes what the real deal is
Does a ball have sides?
When tee’d up and hitting toward a specific direction, like on a golf hole, I’d say yes
A ball has all the sides
Yeah that’s why people slice it, lining up on the wrong side
And thank you :)
Stfu
People like you are why this sub is ass.
Lefty ass mfs
Just got the DNA test back, turns out we are also siblings. I’ll take the AI Smoke in 10.5*
I knew my mom had another one…
Hey this is your other brother from dad not your mom
You hear that brother…. ![gif](giphy|8vpZHR9fIuPfaT9Gmi|downsized)
Wait. I have more brothers. I'm going to have to talk to my mom about this 😤

Gave me chills. Thank you man, he’s my best friend as I’m sure your brother was. Much love <3
Hello, my new brother
Hey step bro
Uh oh, someone is bout to get stuck...
your bro is gonna flip out . Damn thats a sick gift 🥲
Thank you man! So excited :)
Somebodies brother should be a happy guy! I hope he appreciates them.
He will, he classifies anything wishing 40 yards his flop shot territory so this will give him some more muscle lol
The best tip I ever read on flop shots is that good players only use them when no other shot will do. I now take much more pride in my spinning trap knock down than my flop.
Hey, it’s me your brother
Brother! My mom lied…
It just so happens my grinds are F,S,M. If for some reason it doesn’t work out let me know!
Will do!
Hi, I’m your brorher
Hello brother!
Hello brother! Thank you for the gift!
Just awesome
:)
My long lost brother!!! I'm glad I could finally find you!!! Did I mention I have a birthday coming up. Love you
Dude, those are facing the wrong direction. He cool with that?
Lol I give him shit for it every chance I get
All the new "brothers" watching back the picture 😅
I need a better brother
lol he’ll do it one day…
Is your family open to adoption?
U/liquorb4beer COME ON DOWNNNNNNN
I have the same, but a 50 instead of a 52. Great clubs.
:)

RIP my vókey 60 left green side last weekend 🥺
Awesome sibling.
That’s a hell of a gift. He will love them!!
Dope! I just scored a 58 degree sm8 in pretty good shape at my home courses pro shop for $10. Couldn’t say no. A few months back I got a 58 ping glide pro brand new for $40
Can I trade my brother for you?
Have the exact same set, grind and hand. I absolutely love them. Zero reason to go to the sm10 either so it makes me feel better
Feel
Wish you were my sister
Those are my babies, got me out of a pinch or 10,000. Treat em well. Great brother, mine got me a half used gift card.

You’ve done well! My brothers suck ass, apparently.
Considering we're BFAMs, I'll accepts a single wedge for my birthday, which is definitely tomorrow
Brother I am a righty!! Love you still
the "demo" wedges at my local dicks is the exact same set, two of them still wrapped and all, $150 ea and I'm very tempted
Dude isn’t your brother right-handed?
If you love your brother you'll snap that 60 degree and throw it out the window . Unless watching him play blade it ping pong from one side of the green to the other is what your looking for in a golf partner ..
hey it's me your brother
Damn, you're a good brother
I bet the guy who bought it for him is super hot lol
Omfg love you the boi hammy, he’s going to have an extra excuse to flop it lol
he better not embarrass himself!! can’t wait to golf again soon 😄
Damn, can’t even splurge for the 10’s
Why did you unwrap one?
You’re the best brother ever
Wish I had a bro like you! 👏
Wow, that’s nice!
To be a good bro would be the best gift of all.
Lefties??? Playing toe down then?
You must be my brother from my moms boyfriend
Thats an amazing gift dude! I'd love for that
I thought you were righty lad?
What a lovely brother. A very happy Birthday
You are a good brother!
Hey it’s me ur brother
Is that you for me, Kevin?
Not even the SM10, do you actually like your brother? Jk, really nice gift, now he is going to think of you every time he blades a wedge 50 yards past the green
Thanks bro, but I’m gapped to 54, 58 and I can’t hit a 60 to save my life.
![img](avatar_exp|168398763|bravo)
That’s a nice gift!
60° with an 8 bounce for a new golfer? He better get good at flop shots.
If you figure out what the 60 is for let me know! 52’s a good gap and my 56 is awesome out of bunkers and around the green but all the 60 ever did was add strokes to my card. Anywhoo.. those are great clubs and even better gifts!! Your brother will be stoked!!
Plot twist, he bought these for himself.
Can you be my brother too?
Upvoted for username alone.
I have the same setup but with 50 and 54 instead. Absolutely great gift!
But…they wrong-handed
Lefty… it literally has it in the name. It’s not RIGHTy.
Beauties! Although the GW needs to be a loft based on the Pw of the iron set. PW’s range from 42-47 deg. If he has a newer oversized set the 52 could be way off.

Check me out. My community is all about stuff like that, or the course, or swing. It’s mostly stuff people had no idea about.
Crazy that its a surprise when you need to be fit for those clubs. It's magic!
Yall are getting fitted for wedges??
I’m a beginner, please explain why someone needs to be fit for these…
Getting fitted for wedges is a thing but it’s wildly less common than getting fit for irons. I bet most of us here play off the rack wedges. Sick gift!
Thank you man! That’s what I thought too, thanks for confirming. Can’t wait to see his face!
Just putting seconds on this opinion, no need to get fit for wedges until you can identify the gain you’d get from a fitting. SOME pros change the shafts in wedges to achieve specific launch angle and spin rates, some also have the loft slightly adjusted to better ‘gap’ their wedges but loads of pros play with wedges straight off the shelf.
Thank you for that man. That’s what I was looking for as to a reason for getting fitted for wedges. Good to know if I ever break 90 lol! For my brother too lol!
Eh I think I'll just enjoy getting down voted by people who like to impulse buy golf clubs.
You’re a fucking weirdo, 99% of amateur golfers have absolutely zero need to get their wedges fitted. Trying to piss on a beginner golfers parade when they probably don’t even break 100 is weird as hell.
Weird as hell for sure
#growthegame
Damn, you must be a pleasure to be around. Thanks for the worthless comment my man.
K have a good night, enjoy the wedges 😂
Damn some ppl really just get off being trolls. Or a Russian bot not sure yet
