Vokey wedges

[x-man]

im currently playing cleveland wedges 56* and 60* but im hearing rave feedback regarding vokeys

has anyone used or uses the spin milled vokeys and if so whats the low-down? are they really as good as reported on approach shots as in backspin etc

regards and thanks for replies

hi, my experience with spin-milled vokeys (though i haven't had new ones for a few years) is that they are really good for spin & bite when new but tough on the ball (especially if you hit full shots with them) & also that it doesn't last past the first month or so of use.

Perfect if you can replace them regularly & have a free supply of new golf balls, otherwise perhaps not much different to other wedges.

Great, Tim. Thanks!

I bought three Vokeys by start of this season, 52, 56 and 60. With the new grooves that doesn't spin as much as the old ones. I haven't noticed a big change in the spin but I suspect that they are a little longer than the Clevelands. And they certainly go lower. I am not too thrilled about them around the greens as I play a course that needs some air time in the art of scrambling. I eventually kept my old 60* MDC (Cleveland copy) in the bag as it is a much better flop club.

The distance control on 3/4 and full wedge shots is IMO very good with the Vokeys.

Why did you want to have the new grooves? You could use the old one as much as you want - or have you turned professional?

I bought the new ones because that's what Golfsmith was selling.

And besides, this game is easy enough already.
