I love my Vokey's. I'm thinking about adding a gap wedge to the mix to round everything out. The only thing is that they have a tendency to eat golf balls.

If your talking wedges Vokeys will always get the vote. Then Cleaveland and mizuno.

I'm using the TaylorMade RAC's and really like them, they have a better feel that the cleavland wedges. They lack the back spin that my cleavland creates but Their more accurate and feel better at impact.

Never owned a Volkey but I can vouch for the Clevelands. I've only used the CG 12s though.

I loved my Cleveland CG14. Out of all the clubs in my bag (excluding the Scotty) it is my favorite... sooo much control. I've never hit the Vokeys, so take my suggestion lightly.

I had Cleveland wedges for a long time and still have a CG14 but recently got the TM TPz's and they are so sweet. Smaller head and much better feel in my opinion. The grooves are just as good, if not better than the zip grooves and the surface has the same design as the vokeys. Thought the TM's do not have as many degree/bounce options as the big two (Vokey and Cleveland) they are a great buy.

Probably can't go wrong with any of these as long as the bounce is right.

http://golf.about.com/od/faqs/f/bounce.htm .

I am pretty sure there are threads on this site's forum as well which discuss bounce. Generally, sand wedges have the highest degrees of bounce usually between 12-16. Gap wedges and 60* wedges can vary from 6-10 degrees.

I play Vokey wedges and love them. The spin milled will defintely eat balls up like was said earlier. I have to replace my wedges about 2x/year as well. The spin though is awesome. I play about 3-4/week. I've got a 54, 56, and a 60. 54 and 60 are Spin Milled and my 56 isn't.

I play a 54.10, 56.14 and a 60.04 More bounce is better for the sand and less is better for chips/fairway shots.

I'm just starting out and I purchased a couple of Cleveland wedges and I love them. I feel like i hit very well with them even though i'm a beginner.

      Yea Club Rat said it. I really enjoyed the Senator and the Judge, then over to Grand National where there a couple good courses plus a fun par 3. The one I do play whenever I visit there is Ross Bridge; something about this course that is just good fun. I hope to play more of the courses in the future, but tomorrow is promised to no one, so hope is the key word. Have Fun, iSank

      Eh. He broke ONE of Tiger's records. Youngest to be ranked #1 in AJGA. It didn't help that Tiger's birthday is in late December, or that Tiger didn't play many AJGA events before he was 15. Did he do any of these things?

      Day 56: 4/19/2024 Okay, even though I'll be teeing it up in a tournament in less than a week. I couldn't find time to get to the range today.  I spent time on the indoor putting mat.  And I spent time in front of the mirror with my 7 iron. Then again later with the driver.  I also thoroughly cleaned all my clubs.
