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

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

      By iacas · Posted

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…

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

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
