I've been pondering it for some time, but finally pulled the trigger, made my wallet hurt.

Vokey Spin Milled 52º loft, 8º bounce, black nickel finish
Vokey Spin Milled 58º loft, 12º bounce, black nickel finish
Scotty Cameron Studio Select Newport 2

I was considering Bettinardi, but have no chance of testing them, so I went with the Scotty, which I've tried god knows how many times on the local Pro Shop.
Wedges will replace a cheap 52º and a 56º CG12 DSG. I'll sell them to someone. Going from mallet to blade, looking forward to it.

I know they are overpriced, but what the hell...I've worked a lot lately, so I figured I'd treat myself something nice.

Edit: Btw, I love my new avatar.

Always nice to splurge on yourself after working hard. No matter the price, as long as they make you happy it's justified.

Congrats on your new purchases. I've been eyeing the Newport 2 myself. It's pricey but I'm inching closer to just splurging. Thing is, I just changed the grip and shaft of my driver yesterday and that wasn't cheap (though I love it to bits).

Nice choices. I have a 58-12 Vokey and I love it. Great for anything right around the green and I've been loving it out of the sand too. Gets it up and out of the trap without flying the green.

      Athletic Motion Golf Video Featuring Our Own Erik Barzeski

      By boogielicious · Posted

      The first issue Erik spoke about is something we worked on for my swing during both GEARS sessions. GEARS was showing my pelvis center moving towards the ball during the back swing. I wasn’t the 4” guy though! This forced me to correct on the downswing to give myself space. My hip rotation was to high as well. We corrected it by first getting the weight off my heels in my stance and getting my posture correct. Then the feel was shifting back into my right hip at a 45 degree angle. This kept my pelvis center from moving towards the ball at the start of the backswing. I also didn’t sway back as much as I felt I did because of the angle I was shifting. Feel Ain’t Real. The cool thing about GEARS is as you work on something you can see the exact (Real) change happening. On video, it is much harder to spot this issue because of the 2D nature of filming. But I know what to look for now. Sadly, I was hurt all last year and most of this year so I really haven’t been able to work on it much. I did do a lot of backswing work though.
