[gasfreak]

I am sure it has been asked before,but I am about to buy a vokey wedges and if you only bought one what degree would be best for all around the green?

I have a 60 degree Vokey wedge and use it all around the green, from much rough and in the sand. I would highly recommend it too anyone. :)

if you only got one wedge i would buy the 56* its easier to handle and if you need extra loft open the face.

Agreed, if you're going to only get one wedge, get the 56, but if you're getting 2, grab a 60 or a 52, as well, depending if you really need the 60.

Agreed. From 40 yards and in, pretty much the only thing I use.

gasfreak,


I sugest zeroing in on the loft and bounce you want and then buy two Vokeys of that same exact configuration.

Game one and lube one up and save it for breaking out as "new" in two years when you've 'worn' the first one out. You'll be loving the nice grooves for a long time.

By the way....I just got in a PING Tour-W wedge....haven't gamed it yet....but the fit, finish and overall appearance of the thing is spectacular. So many ways to order them as far as bounce, grind, etc. I can't wait to game it and see how it performs for me.

Ill agree with what most have said. a 56* degree will be best for all around the green.

If you are only getting 1 for sure I would go with the 56* I would recommend getting another once your game improves or whatever the criteria is that you are only considering getting 1 at this time. I started with a 54 when I got my first because my PW is 45 and then got a 50 for my next and my final will be a 58 when I get the money for it.

If your PW is 48 and you've got no SW, I'd get a 54º or 56º.

If your PW is 48 and you've got a SW at 56º and need a gap-filler, I'd get a 52º

[Lou Reed]

I have two Vokey wedges. 54* and 58*

They're the older version though - 2002 (I think!)

I would definitely recommend Titliest Vokey wedges whatever the loft.

I have a 58 degree Volkey rusty and it works fine for me around the greens.
If i need 56 degree I use the Sand wedge.
Ihave a 60 degree Volkey however I never use it in compition cause I am not good enough with it to trust myself/myswing.

Since my nine iron is an old fashioned (weak lofted) 46°, I go with a 51-6 pitching wedge, a 56-8 gap wedge, a 61-4 lob wedge, and a dedicated sand iron that I don't play from the turf except in deep rough.

However, I suck with the 61-4 and should go with a 52-6 and a 58-6 instead of the set of three (excluding the sand club) that I have now. That would get me down to thirteen clubs and I can't think of anything I'd want to add.
Perhaps twin drivers with open and closed faces.

My present setup is described in detail on my thread about it being hard to find good clubs for seniors with a little game.
