I have two spin milled vokeys, and i need to get a third wedge, a 50ish degree gap wedge.

I have mizuno irons, and i like to stay with the same brand of stuff, but i have never hit the mizzy wedges.... what does everyone think of them? Worth the switch if i could trade my 54 and 58? Or should i just get the 50 vokey and call it done?

Personally I prefer Mizunos because of the softer feel. They perform similarly though.

what about weight? I know that titleists are heavier wedges compared to callaway x forged. also, are the mp-r's for more advanced players?

My son has three mp=t's and I have vokeys. I think they're both good but I am partial to the vokeys. You can't go wrong either way.

thanks the review was very helpful. But what are the pros and cons of rounded vs. teardrop? Or is it purely looks? Thanks

I've played tons of wedges, I must say Vokeys are the "scotty camerons" of wedges. Their price refelcts it.

well.. the vokeys are the same price as the mizuno's.

I've been playing Vokeys this season and just ordered

two MP-T wedges from Budgetgolf.net for $132 shipped I've never seen Vokey's dip below $110 for a brand new wedge. I've heard great things about them and I'm looking forward to dialing down the distances and taking them to the course. They'll go along nicely with my MP-67 irons

I perfer the MP-R series then the MP-T. You can find a used MP-R for about $40 on ebay if your lucky.

I have a couple of MP-T wedges at the moment.

Although I've used both Vokey and Cleveland in the past, I'd say I'm more comfortable with the Mizunos. Great clubs with great feel.

You are comparing two of the best wedges on the market. While there may be differences in feel from one to another, ultimately, both brands make great wedges and you won't miss out by buying any of them.

Since you've already got SM wedges, I'd recommend getting another one of those. If you have a lot of cash to spend, you might sell the SMs and get Mizzy of course, it's your call, the clubs are great regardless of what you do.

What loft is your PW btw? I'd assume it's 46 since you want a 50º wedge. If you've got a 48º wedge, I don't see that it's necessary with a 50º.

I am about 99% sure there is no difference in the playability in the "R" and the "T". Just the look of them. Some people prefer a rounded look and some prefer the teardrop look, so they made each.

I will judge my rounds much more by the quality of my best shots than the acceptability of my worse ones.

Can't speak on the MP-T/R but I can speak about the MP-Series. I've read a few reviews stating that the swing weight of the MP-T/R is light compared to the Vokey's. I found just the opposite with the MP's. To me they feel to have a heavier swing weight. I like mine….but I'm sure I would have liked Vokey's too if they were in my bag. Can't compare spin, I sent my 56* and 60* out for sq grooves plus I sharpen them often.

    • Day 22 - 2026-01-11 More mirror work. Back outdoors tomorrow.
    • Day 11, 1/11/26.  Today was putting, along about 6' of carpet, with coins on the ground to keep me cognizant of what I'm doing.  I think this is the at-home drill from LSW. (Ugh, missed two of the last four days -- 1/10 and 1/8)
    • Day 9: 2026.01.11 Hit some balls at the range, concentrating on weight distribution at address, got some on film.
    • Day 468 - 2026-01-11 Loooooong day. Did some work in the patio door (as a mirror) when I got home.
    • I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
