@HankDHaney Bigger grips for sure RT @johnloconte: @HankDHaney XXL Glove... Med or Reg grips? Whats the advantage/disadvantage?

@HankDHaney 60* 10 bounce, 56* 12, 52* 12 RT @tappygilmore: appropriate wedge degrees/bounce? Hit old cg10 58° 105 yds, 52° 130 yds, driver 330.
@HankDHaney Big mistake always go maximum amount of ground time minimum amount of air time RT @jdeis76: only use 60 for all chips and pitches. Mistake?
@HankDHaney Yes, 58 or 60 RT @ageace87: @HankDHaney I hit 260-290 off the tee, is that considered powerful enough to have a 60 degree?
