Absolutely unbelievable. People persist with this complete and utter nonsense about the "feel" of forged clubs. It's a complete myth. Do you seriously think that of all of the hundreds of prof

LOL. I'm just waiting for the responses of people who demand to know how I know that they can't tell the difference. It's a bit like the stereo speaker wire lunatics. They'll pay $500 a me

They are right up there with most other offerings. I don't think they spin more than any other wedge out there. The feel could be improved slightly, but the variety is there. It took me a while to get used to them, but after the first month I have them dialed in and they have contributed to more birdies and up and downs than I can remember.

I prefer my Mizunos, but the majority of PGA Tour pros disagree with your assessment.

What shots do you struggle to hit with the Vokey wedges? Not judging from your handicap only, but most PGA Tour pros feel like they're good enough to hit the shots they need to play every week. But then again, I wouldn't trust what the PGA tour pros say or play, I'd rather listen to a 20 handicapper complain about one of the best wedges on the market.

the pitch with some roll i just seem to get the ball to check which is quite odd

It's you thats producing the check the wedge. You can hit it so that it rolls out.

I haven't played with them enough to form an opinion. They have always felt heavy to me. I don't know if that is fact or not, but a friend has the same set up as me and have hit his a few times. I was pretty indifferent about them in limited use. I've never felt very comfortable with them so I have never owned one.

I will judge my rounds much more by the quality of my best shots than the acceptability of my worse ones.

A wedge is a wedge is a wedge. If you can't make the ball check you have to fix your swing. My Vokey is no better or worse than my MacGregor wedge, or my Adams wedges. I will agree with jamo that it wears very well.

You can control that with how you hit the ball with the wedge... If you want it to have less bite, go to a bunker and take some swings in there.

There are so many solutions to that. Play a lower spinning ball. Hit pitch shots with a less lofted club. Work on your motion to reduce the action of the wrists. Play the shots with a lower trajectory. Don't complain that a very good wedge limits the number of shots you can hit when it's your technique that's causing all the problems

What a ridiculous, arrogant and meaningless piece of drivel this is.

Not the greatest "in your opinion". They "feel rubbish" and the "variety of shots you can play isn't as big as with other wedges" How about elaborating on these absurd claims. It would be enlightening listening to you discussing these shortcomings with Bob Vokey and the hundreds of pros who play these clubs.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 35, June 8. Before leaving for work this morning (yes, I'm posting this quite late relative to the practice), I spent 15 minutes practicing at home, into a net.  This time, it was primarily 9-iron (full swings), with some UW (full and half) and a few 6-iron.

      My Swing (GolfLug)

      I'm liking this. Finally getting down hands in front of my trail leg pocket consistently at A6 with much better clubhead position (relatively not as tipped out). I can really pressure the shaft through impact with good face control  from this position and stay in balance. Won my first one v one march 5&4 against a 4 hcp who routinely drives it 35-40 yards past me in the men's club match play . Frustrated him with some solid iron play and air tight putting.

      Day 8 (Jun 8 26) - Stayed the drill but added two additional irons (7i, 8i and 9i) - using Divot Board and hard foam balls - focused on tempo and purposed pause at the top….noticing how open the club is marking the board when I try to kill it and how much more square (and better distance) when I focus on these keys.
