In for review is a very interesting looking new wedge called Cutter Wedge CTR-1. This wedge has a unique head design unlike I’ve seen in previously, and I’ve seen more than just about anyone. Check it out.
The purpose of the design is to expand the available surface area to make contact easier and more consistent. In addition it helps cut through varying surface types and conditions.
After looking at this wedge for awhile I realized that the face is symmetrical, unlike other wedges. Some wedges have a high toe, but you’ll see this wedge has the mirroring inside high toe (for lack of better description).
As bad as my short game can be I’m willing to give just about any kind of wedge a shot, so to speak. I get the impression this could be a great option for the sand.
Lofts available are currently 52, 56, and 58 degrees.
The club is available in right and left-handed models. Often new clubs are not available in left-handed so tip of the hat to Cutter for that.
I’m just getting back into swinging after the shoulder surgery and the home course just re-opened following the Covid-19 shutdown. I’ll be getting out and trying some easy swings and chips with the CTR-1 and hopefully posting a full review in a few weeks.
Stay tuned.
Shoulder Report – 14.5 Months Since Surgery
I got a couple of clubs out of the garage today and swung away at the front lawn. Connected with a few dandelions. The backswing is fine. The finish apparently won’t be there. No club head speed. I took about 15-20 swings. Now the shoulder is very sore and angry. It’s going to take a long time to get back.
I tried a few swings with my New Level irons and a few with my Cobra King F8 driver. I was really starting to dial those in back in late 2018.
I remember I had just found the “holy grail” setting on the adjustable driver. I’m sure that’s all changed now.
And who knows about the shafts now. If my swing speed is slower all my shafts might be wrong.
I have a bit of an apparel problem. I’ve dropped over 40 pounds in the last year. So 90% of my amazing golf apparel no longer fits me anymore. I’ve got some awesome outerwear that feels like I just put on a car cover. I’m on my way to resolving this problem with a properly sized Galway Bay Apparel All-Weather Jacket! Check it out.
This jacket features “Hydro-Flex 32 fabric.” According to Galway Bay this material is the most breathable waterproof technology in the industry. The material is strong but designed to flex and move with the golfer. Nothing quite as irritating as apparel that binds, pulls, and restricts the golf swing.
Other features include waterproof sealed seams. waterproof zippers, quiet fabric, and light weight.
Testing Soon
Let it rain. It’s April. Let’s have some April showers so I can begin my on-course testing.
Stay tuned for my full review, and watch for the first look of the Galway Bay Apparel all-weather unlined pants coming up shortly.
Thanks to Carl at Carl’s Golfland for the inspirational golf t-shirt! Until we can play golf and shake hands again, let’s #ShankThisVirus!
I’m starting to test out the 2nd CBD product reviewed here at Hooked on Golf Blog. Yesterday was my first application of ParForm CBD Topical Salve, on a right knee that got very angry with me after my latest backcountry skiing session this past weekend.
ParForm
ParForm is a golf specific training and nutrition company which offers nutrition bars, protein mixes, instruction, training, and now golf-specific CBD products.
CBD Topical Salve
The topical salve comes in a 1oz package containing 250mg of CBD. There is no THC (the chemical part of the pot plant that gets you high, and helps you fail drug tests).
I’m now hitting that pesky knee with it and hoping the CBD does what it is supposed to, so I can get back out to my many physical activities. I’ll post my findings in a few weeks when I’ve had enough time to formulate a clear conclusion.
