I like the volkey better in terms of performance, but the Cleveland wedges are much easier to hit as they don't grab as much. The volkeys took awhile to get used to. depending on how much you play or practice i would recommend the Clevelands if you can't spend hours on the chipping green.

So, would you rate the Volkey better over all? I was about to start a thread asking which you guys thought were better. I have always had Cleveland Wedges in the past and was thinking about giving the titleists a try. If they perform better, then I can get used to hitting them.

The vokeys are what they are, just solid no-frills wedges. They're not designed to help you in any way. You'll only get out of a vokey what you put into it. If your stuck between the two i would just concentrate on the feel of the head has you make some half swings and see which one fits your tempo or touch better.

Im def leaning towards the CG14, they seem easier to swing, easier to hit, and more forviging. Damn things are just money, more than my driver to replace 3 wedges. I def am gonna need to adopt a kid next year to claim on my taxes.

Yeah, they are high but are they any higher than the Titleist? They are having a sale on them at my local golf course and I can get them for 90 but that is about as cheap as I can get them around here.

For the average golfer I think just about any model of Cleveland wedges are better than the Titleist wedges. Vokeys are good clubs (I own 1), but they are harder to hit in my opinion. I have owned several models of Cleveland wedges and have always been impressed. The Nike wedges also seem nice and like they would be easier to hit than Vokeys. They're good enough for Tiger...

They are called VOKEYS. I would go w/ the titleist.

I apologize that my spell check hasn't been set to pick up the names of the sweetest wedge designers in the game. I will refrain from using volkey from now on and VOKEY will be used.

I demoed both the Vokey and CG14. I ended up with the Vokey because it hit it alot better. No doubt the cg14 is a great wedge but i still say the vokey.

Are they really that much harder to hit? I was talking to the assistant pro at my course yesterday, and he says that he likes Cleveland hands down. He says that he has never been able to hit the Titleist wedges. I think I am going to try them out since I now need a 60.

A wedge is almost like a putter - different people like different clubs. A Vokey is not as easy to hit as some other wedges (Cleveland included), but the difference is not huge from a technical perspective - they just feel different. You could buy wedges from any of the major manufacturers and probably be fine for a while with them. I don't think Clevelands are going to 'hold you back' from getting better (and neither would Nike, Taylor Made, Callaway, etc.)

One other issue not mentioned before that might factor in is 'wear'. Vokey's tend to wear much quicker than most of the wedges from other companies. Most people will agree they possess more 'bite' when new, but because of the soft metal used they wear more quickly.

This would be the reason for me not to buy one...but we will see. Good info here

    • On my car I got the extended power train warranty. I do read the fine print most of the time. Though at now 37, my eyes aren’t what they were 10 years ago.    The problem with most of these extended warranties on electronics and appliances is you don’t register the warranty with the place you buy the warranty from, which I’ve always found strange. Unless it’s GameStop then you know Alina drops her Switch in the next two years and the screen cracks they’ll replace it. No questions asked.    You buy a slow cooker at Walmart for $50 and the extended warranty is say $6, you have to go through a third party to register your product for the warranty, and it’s pretty damn annoying. Target is the same way. Anything you buy the extended protection on you have to go through a third party.    Why do retailers go through a “broker” for warranties? Because they don’t wanna deal with it? They make me talk to someone from another country, that I can barely understand, when I need my warranty fulfilled.   Sorry for the rant.
    • You may be able to find a regular flex Blueboard on the second hand market. I’m little more than half your age so I swing a shaft that launches pretty low so I don’t have a lot of experience with Regular flex (other than when I try to hit it I miss way to the left).    There are other shafts, such as the newer Ping Alta that I’ve heard good things about. And one that no one talks about. The Jupiter shaft. You can get this shaft for a $100 with a grip and your Ping adapter installed. I was talking to the golf manager at Dick’s Sporting Goods here and he has one in his driver and has nothing but good things to say about it. I thought about getting one for my Paradym Triple Diamond to play it a little shorter, but haven’t pulled the trigger yet.

    • Meanwhile, another old Tour Edge guy switches to Callaway for this season. I have a different problem, course dependent set-ups. What I’m wondering is if @dragonsmhas the 8 iron set 5-PW, AW, GW or just 5-PW, GW. Because the PW is 42°, AW 47°, and GW 52°. Because that could potentially be a gap there. The 5-iron to 6-iron length jump is 5/8” instead of 1/2” so you should be careful of that.    @WUTiger the problem most people have with 3-woods is they don’t play them far enough back into their stance. And they usually don’t have enough loft and the shaft is too long. So 3HL, 4 or 5-wood is probably better for most golfers. I do the “Frankenwood” approach. I have both the 3+ and 5 woods. I typically will either add two degrees to the 3+ on 6600 yards or longer courses, or take a degree off the 5-wood on shorter courses than 6300 or so, and use the 5-wood shaft for both. I don’t usually find a situation where I need both the 3 and 5 wood on a course. I don’t play from 7000 yards it’s no fun. Edit: I mostly agree with @WUTiger on the gapping, although a lot of the newer even fixed hosel fairway woods are made better than what we had when we were playing the old Exotics XRails.
