re: Golf Wedges- 58 or 60 degree?

Any suggestion for my problem I posted earlier in the thread? When I'm tight to the green and only want to fly the ball say 5-10 feet I end up chunking it when I try to ease up. Should I just get a 58 and open the face up and flop it?

I'm no expert, but I used to have the same problem. The key for me was to concentrate on hitting it solid and accelerating through. Sure I hit some long but at least I'm on the green and I made a good swing, distance control will be easier once you're confident you will hit the ball solid.
Take some practice swings so you have the feel, than step up and hit your pitch, don't get so concerned about guiding the club to the perfect spot

You're chunking it b/c when you are trying to "ease up" you're actually decelerating your club. It's a very common mistake, easily corrected by remembering to accelerate through the shot. If it's a shot with a shorter distance just take a shorter backswing and accelerate through the shot. Problem solved.
