I have had 2 vokeys. 200 series, 60.06 (rusty one) and currently 54.14 and 58.08 in spin milled.

I am really fond of the look of the Tour-W's and they complement my irons (S-58's). I have realised the 54.14 Vokey has limited uses - just the bounce is too much. I'm getting a 54.10 Tour-W at the weekend.

Considering the Vokeys are less than a year old - they haven't held up well. The trade-in prices i've been quoted have been poor but i'll accept them either way.

They're not for everyone. But I like and prefer them to Vokeys.

Vokey not even close--the 200 series was the best ever made the new spin milled are cheaply made. I am mad at titleist. They're clubs are going downhill as theyve outsourced to china. Theyre also losing business to upcoming brands like Adams and Nickent.

"People think the size of the head is most important. Wrong. It's getting a quality shaft. test different shafts to see which goes the straightest. Also, more degrees of loft on the head is better than less. Eleven degrees is about right."

Two different publications I read REALLY loved the Titleist wedges and I would like to add a really good high-lofted wedge to my bag. I've played Ping for years and the LW in my bag is a 57 but it's almost 14 years old. I would like to add a 60 so I could hit a big lob to tight pins. I'm not one to buy a whole lot of new equipment (as you can see by the irons in my bag) and would like to buy wisely. I really like the looks of the Tour-w in Nickel.

vokey no contest.

the spin milled wedges spin way too much for me, and they dont have a gap wedge which is my favorite club in the bag. so i stick with the 200 series oil can. i strip them of the finish and make them raw, so so soft.

This is actually a good thread for me. I'm looking right now at picking up a Vokey, but as a beginner need something that is forgiving. Would a Vokey 56.10 SW be a forgiving club?

In my bag you'll find:

Irons[SIZE="1"] Big Bertha X-Fuision 5 ~ PW (graphite)
Hybrids 3DX Genex 2i (17*) and 4i (23*) (steel)
SW 256.10 Vokey Black Nickle (56* / 10*) (steel)LW 260.4 Vokey oil can (60* / 4*) (steel)Woods G2i (17*) 3w (graphite)Putter 34" Newport Detour

the ping wedges give u a much better fell than the vokeys and they launch it very high so you can stick greens

i have found the bounce on the vokeys too much from PW to LW

so thats why i grind mine down to 5-6 degrees in the SW. It allows me more flexibility too. Especially off the hard fairways i play on sometimes here. I hate bounce.

      By ChetlovesMer ·

      I have a putting mat in my office. It's 9 feet long almost 4 feet wide. I've drawn a line down it in order to practice hitting my line and stuff. Works fine for what it is.  While I'm not a fan of lining up a line on my golfball for every putt. I think for practice sessions it can have a lot of value.  To me this product makes sense. This is the first time I've seen it. It showed up as an add on the right side of the TST webpage. What do you all think? PuttAIM Laser Training Aid Get ready to dominate the greens like never before. PuttAIM Golf is a golf putting aid that uses laser technology to help you improve your game. This device works to ensure your putts are aligned properly and on track...

      Of course. I've used different words to start, but like 90-95% of the time it's been this one. And I'm unlikely to switch now.

      Angle is not a factor. I hit the ball 100’ high. Par is net birdie. My CH is 16. The rough between the bunkers is like 10’ wide though. That’s not something you’re going to try to hit on purpose. Most of the area to the left of that is fescue/native vegetation and I’m pretty sure there isn’t a flat lie in any of it. It’s the second hole.
