Back to Cleveland

[Esox]

I played Cleveland wedges when they first came out till around 2002. the last couple years I have been playing Vokeys.  about agi I lost my beloved 50 degree Vokey gap wedge. Went to pick one up and a few other wedges looked interseting.  Since I was at Carls and they have demos of everthing, I tried as lot of wedges on a real range with Callaway balls.  Ended up with a Vokey and a Cleveland RTX in my hand.. I liked thhe RTX because it was easier for me to consistently control the flight and distance. A couple minutes in the fitting room showed the Cleveland spun better on everything but full shots. 

Now several rounds into the real world and I am seriously consideng dumping the 54 and 58 Vokeys for more RTX's.  They just seem to be so much more consistent and predictable out of poor lies.

No quality wedges are more "consistent" or "predictable" than others.

I seriously doubt that Vokeys are unpredictable or inconsistent.

It comes down to what you like.

Some like the look of Mizuno wedges. Others are used to Cleveland or Vokey. 

It's about YOU, not the wedges.  What is important is that you have bounce that suits your course.

I play the RTX Zipcore wedges, they’re quite good actually. I like mine more for green side shots than for full shots, I’d rather saw off a ZX5 AW from even 75 yards than hit a 54° or 60°, but that’s just me.

I actually got my Vokey gap wedge back yesterday after a twilight 9 holes. I had to break the news to it that it's fired. I found it a new home, it's going into the kid next doors bag, he needs a gap wedge......
