Just bought myself some Titleist AP2's, and seeing as I have some £/$ in credit at my Pro shop, I'm looking to add a couple of Vokey Wedges to the bag too, but torn as to what to get .......

The new lineup due out in October looks great, particularly the Black Nickel - if I can wait that long Love the look of the Oil Can too, but I dont like the way it 'rusts'. My current Beryllium Copper lob wedge has 'aged', dullened etc, but rust I wouldnt like.

What Bounce does everyone play with ? My current Sand wedge has a lot of Bounce, which I really havent liked as it makes it difficult to get under the ball on hard/tight lies, whereas my Lob is very low bounce and is nice and easy to slide under the ball off any lie really.
I arent a big divot taker, so I guess I dont want anything described as a 'Digger' on the specifications.

I was thinking of perhaps 2 Spin Milled at 54 & 60 degrees, either both with 8deg bounce or the lob with 4deg ?

Never really thought about this a great deal before......as quite clearly I perhaps should have !!

In my Bag:
909D2 10.5deg DFX Stiff
WarBird 5 Wood - steel shaft.
Titleist AP2 3-PW
Vokey Spin Milled 54 & 60deg 2 Ball Ball : ProV's.

i am in the same boat.

just got myself some new titleist irons and want to get matching wedges but, i think as you are, i'm going to wait for the black nickels to come out and then get re-fitted in the spring for them along with all of the 909 woods.

the rust makes it spin more

Time once again to break out the broken record: wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong.

And my Oil Can Vokeys don't rust. Just keep them dry. The finish will wear off and you'll eventually have a raw wedge.

Thanks Iacas. Every week I seem like I am doing the same thing. They do not spin more. However mine do rust and I dry them on every shot. But they look great and spin fantastic.

After doing some reading I have to apoligize for the post above. I based that on info from the pro shop owner who sold me my wedges. (best golf in green bay) It sounded good to me.
My 588's do spin more for me, maybe just because of the raw finish?

Anyway, thanks for setting me straight, thats why I'm here, to learn.

Personally I'm waiting on the October release. The plan is to switch to a 4 wedge configuration. I'll stick with the PW that I've got now (Ping i3 Blade) and compliment that with 3 Vokey black nickel wedges; 52.08, 56.14, & 60.04. That's the current plan anyway. I suppose that things could change over the winter months.

      Question About UK vs. U.S. Course Etiquette

      By RickK · Posted

      The term I hear most often is "double teeing" which means the course/club has starting times from both the #1 and #10 tee.  I have encountered this many times and we know if we are the first group off #10, we may well get to #1 and have to wait because there are groups still with tee times yet to tee of #1.  In most instances, where the course/club has a starter, he normally explains this situation.  In this case, the pro advised what you would could/would encounter making the turn to #1.  And, that is exactly what happened.  Probably would have been wise to talk to the pro after playing back 9 and ask when you could go off #1 since apparently that club does not double tee.   Regardless, the outburst towards the other group was uncalled for.  And, I don't blame the member for being upset.  As a member of a private club, you are responsible for the actions of your guest.  I have played many times as a guest in the UK and I am pretty damn sure my host was responsible for my actions while at the club.  I know at the clubs I have belonged to here in the US, that is the way it is.  As a matter of fact, the member may find himself being brought before management and facing possible suspension.  So, I don't blame him for being upset.  However, as the host, he really should have stepped up and put a stop to the OP's actions.  OP makes this statement "I now understand that standards are different on the "private course." But I'll take those lessons to the muni, too."  No, the standards are not different.  You, sir, seem to be just a bit hard headed and belligerent, even if you are college professor...which possibly explains a lot.   JMHO

      Day 32: worked for about 10 minutes on my drill. Filmed it as well for a check in. I think it’s slightly better but still seeing some issues.

      Day 44 (26 Dec 25)  -  played in the Friday men’s shootout with a twist - used the Toney Penna persimmons and MacGregor blades - had a blast playing these clubs.  They really help in zoning in on making solid ball contact.  Scoring was solid - had several looks at birdie and had a few par saves.  Overall a day of focused course management.

      Day 136 12-26 Had a different practice planned today but life happened. Worked on "wide to wide" and still working on remaining flowy. Starting the club head in front of the ball as a drill, is helping with the flow of the swing.
