I don't own one or plan to buy one in the future, but it is funny to read this thread.

I suppose you could use it to hit a flop with a square clubface????? I bought a 64* to experiment with and found it to be a waste of a club in my bag, but then again the strength of my game is wedge play. I went from a 60* to a 58* and love it, but I am good at opening up the 58* and turning it into a 73* if I need to once or twice a round.

I am probably incorrect with this statement, but I thought 64 degrees was the legal limit. If not, 73 degrees could be a bit of fun.

What everyone needs is not just a 73 degree wedge in their bag, but an 80 degree wedge as well!
