I might be buying a new sand wedge next year. I like my titleist vokey, but it is getting worn. Wondering if I should upgrade to spin milled vokey or go with the new srixon wedges. The both have the mill grooved face and nickel finish, and i've heard a lot of good things about the srixons from people I know that have them so I can't decide. Any opinions?

I cant coment on srixons but vokeys are quality products, they amnt of R&D; that goes into Vokeys is probably way more than a smaller company like srixon.

You do know that Srixon really isn't a small company. Hell, they bought Cleveland. So now their wedges are made with stuff from Cleveland designs as well.

When looking for new wedges, I hit the WG-504's and they felt great, and spun quite a bit. I went with the Vokeys because I liked the feel and control a little bit better. But the Srixon wedges, like the rest of their stuff, is quality.

Here's what I play:

Titleist 907 D2 10.5* UST ProForce V2 76-S | Titleist 906F4 18.5* Aldila VS Proto "By You" 80-S | Titleist 585H 21* Aldila VS Proto "By You" 80-S | Titleist ZB 4-PW TTDG S300 | Bob Vokey Spin Milled Oil Can 54.10 | Bob Vokey Spin Milled Oil Can 60.08 | Scotty Cameron Red X5 33" |

Yea I hear the new srixon hybris are solid as well. I didn't like thier irons as much as mizunos, but they were ok when I hit a few. I never see anyone with thier drivers though. The only issue is that it is hard to find the srixon wedges other than getting one on ebay. My pro shop, dicks, and TGW don't carry them.

I actually carry a srixon wedge. It sets up super clean at address and is forged, so feels great. It has a smaller head than most wedges I see, which really fits my eye. Certainly doesn't spin as much as other wedges in my bag, but its an older model. I'm not familiar with the newer srixon wedges, but if they're anything like mine, they're a solid product. Biggest selling point for me is the way the wedge looks at address.

Cleveland Hi-bore 9.5* stiff, Taylormade Burner T3 14.5* stiff, Mizuno mp 32 3-PW, Nike SV Tour Black Satin 52, 56, 60* wedges, Scotty Cameron Studio Select Newport 2 35 inches
In the market for a new driver, then my bag will be the shiz.

Yea this new wedge they came out with has a similar face to a vokey spin milled, with the small circular millings throughout the face, so it probably produces more spin than the old model. I wish I could demo one somewhere.

I was looking at the vokey,srixon and the the taylor made tp the day i bought mine,i discarded the vokey and was caught between the srixon and the t.m,i thought the srixon was a lovely wedge but i went with the t.m as i couldn't see much of a difference and the t.m was $20 cheaper which influenced my decision.

aeroburner tp 10.5 stiff
superfast tp 2.0 3 wood stiff
Halo 25 and taylormade tp 19 degree hybrids
miura cb 202 and wedge
tp 52* wedge, tp 56* taylormade spider mallet putter

      Are You "Loyal" to One Golf Ball?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      I am semi-loyal. Usually buy four dozen of one ball and only play that until out and then determine whether to continue or try another one. Since starting my semi-loyal path to success, I've been playing the below, not in order: ProV1 ProV1x ProV1x left dash AVX Bridgestone BXS Srixon Z-star XV I am not sure if it has helped anything, but it gives a bit of confidence knowing that it at least is not the ball (while using the same one) that gives different results so one thing less to mind about I guess. On the level that I am, not sure whether it makes much difference but will continue since I have to play something so might as well go with the same ball for a number of rounds. Edit: favorite is probably the BXS followed by ProV1/Srixon Z-star XV. Haven't got any numbers to back it up but just by feel.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      Will not do it by myself, going to the pro shop I usually use after Cristmas for input and actually doing the changes, if any, but wanted to get some thoughts on whether this was worthwhile out of curiosity.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      In terms of ball striking, not really. Ball striking being how good you are at hitting the center of the clubface with the swing path you want and the loft you want to present at impact.  In terms of getting better launch conditions for the current swing you have, it is debatable.  It depends on how you swing and what your current launch conditions are at. These are fine tuning mechanisms not significant changes. They might not even be the correct fine tuning you need. I would go spend the $100 to $150 dollars in getting a club fitting over potentially wasting money on changes that ChatGPT gave you.  New grips are important. Yes, it can affect swing weight, but it is personal preference. Swing weight is just one component.  Overall weight effects the feel. The type of golf shaft effects the feel of the club in the swing. Swing weight effects the feel. You can add so much extra weight to get the swing weight correct and it will feel completely different because the total weight went up. Imagine swinging a 5lb stick versus a 15lb stick. They could be balanced the same (swing weight), but one will take substantially more effort to move.  I would almost say swing weight is an old school way of fitting clubs. Now, with launch monitors, you could just fit the golfer. You could have two golfers with the same swing speed that want completely different swing weight. It is just personal preference. You can only tell that by swinging a golf club.

      Thanks for the comments. I fully understand that these changes won't make any big difference compared to getting a flawless swing but looking to give myself the best chance of success at where I am and hopefully lessons will improve the swing along the way. Can these changes make minor improvements to ball striking and misses then that's fine. From what I understood about changing the grips, which is to avoid them slipping in warm and humid conditions, is that it will affect the swing weight since midsize are heavier than regular and so therefore adding weight to the club head would be required to avoid a change of feel in the club compared to before?

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I think part of it is there hasn't been enough conclusive studies specific to golf regarding block studies. Maybe the full swing, you can't study it because it is too complicated and to some degree it will fall into variable or random.
