Anybody else think oilcan Vokeys are ugly?

**GaijinGolfer** · August 2, 2008

I recently won a 56* Vokey wedge in oilcan finish off of Ebay and it arrived yesterday.
Maybe Im just being too nitpicky here, but I think its kind of ugly.
It works great and I love the feel of it, but Im not all that crazy about how it looks.
Anybody else feel this way?

Which part of it don't you like? The finish or the shape? I personally like them. But, out of curiosity, if it works great, and you love the feel of it....plus it was free?? What's the problem? If you handed me a shovel, and it felt good and I could score with it - I'd use a whole set of shovels! I could care less how it looks. Hahaha...

No. I love the look.

Magnus: I think he was refering to he won the bid, not free. Still had to pay.

**Magnus** · August 2, 2008

Hahaha - won the bid, not won the club - yep, important detail, haha.

I mean won the club, but had to pay.. I guess saying won the bid doesn't make sense.

i have a oil can and so does my dad and i love the way they look....... why don't you like them

**Awsi Dooger** · August 2, 2008

Yeah, I understand completely. I loved my old Hogan Sure Out from the '80s but stupidly dented it in a hazard at a course in Palm Springs recently and have been looking for a replacement.

Since Vokey is the hot club I've looked at it many times at golf shops but I can't shake how comparatively ugly it is.

Yeah, I won the Ebay auction. I wish I had gotten it for free, but at $33, I cant complain.

I guess what I find to be ugly is the finish. It makes the club look all rusty and old. Dont misunderstand me, Im not complaining. I got this club for dirt cheap, but I dunno. I guess Im just not feeling the oilcan finish. I'll play this club until I wear the grooves off of the face, but I dont foresee myself ever buying another oilcan Vokey.

you can soak the oil cans in coke and the finish will come off leaving you with a raw vokey. Ive neber done it but have seen the results and they look good. you would just have to be aware that the raw vokey would get rusty very easily.

I don't really like it either, to be honest. My dad has one, never liked it. I just prefer the chrome spin-milled finish.

It's all opinion.

**Magnus** · August 3, 2008

I guess I don't mind the rusting look, I know it doesn't help any, but I do love the original oil-can finish when they are brand new. Too bad Titleist can't sell them to stay that way. I guess they perform well enough so I don't mind what they look like :)

**Doctorfro** · August 3, 2008

Ugly? Um, No.

**whip_it_out** · August 3, 2008

Ive ALWAYS hated the look. Even new. then when they get rusty, i can't stand them. The tour chrome look alot more clean and professional.

**eberryhill7** · August 3, 2008

I agree! I just think that the color is ugly. If I ever buy vokeys then I'm going to get chrome.

**Uber$winG** · August 3, 2008

It'll turn silver with some soft scrubbing, and the club also plays well.

**Treemagnet** · August 3, 2008

I think the look of the oil can is pretty cool.

**mrobbie** · August 3, 2008

The look of a brand new oil can Vokey is IMHO great, but when you see a well used one that has rusted, I hate them. That was why I went with the Tour Chrome finish instead - it stays looking nicer for longer.
