I love my Vokey's. I'm thinking about adding a gap wedge to the mix to round everything out. The only thing is that they have a tendency to eat golf balls.

If your talking wedges Vokeys will always get the vote. Then Cleaveland and mizuno.

I'm using the TaylorMade RAC's and really like them, they have a better feel that the cleavland wedges. They lack the back spin that my cleavland creates but Their more accurate and feel better at impact.

Never owned a Volkey but I can vouch for the Clevelands. I've only used the CG 12s though.

I loved my Cleveland CG14. Out of all the clubs in my bag (excluding the Scotty) it is my favorite... sooo much control. I've never hit the Vokeys, so take my suggestion lightly.

I had Cleveland wedges for a long time and still have a CG14 but recently got the TM TPz's and they are so sweet. Smaller head and much better feel in my opinion. The grooves are just as good, if not better than the zip grooves and the surface has the same design as the vokeys. Thought the TM's do not have as many degree/bounce options as the big two (Vokey and Cleveland) they are a great buy.

Probably can't go wrong with any of these as long as the bounce is right.

I am pretty sure there are threads on this site's forum as well which discuss bounce. Generally, sand wedges have the highest degrees of bounce usually between 12-16. Gap wedges and 60* wedges can vary from 6-10 degrees.

I play Vokey wedges and love them. The spin milled will defintely eat balls up like was said earlier. I have to replace my wedges about 2x/year as well. The spin though is awesome. I play about 3-4/week. I've got a 54, 56, and a 60. 54 and 60 are Spin Milled and my 56 isn't.

I play a 54.10, 56.14 and a 60.04 More bounce is better for the sand and less is better for chips/fairway shots.

    • It's really hard to argue against the Tiger Woods 2000 swing.  I like Rory's swing. And, I've always liked Joaquin Niemann's swing. Although, if I tried to mimic Niemann's swing I'd probably end up in traction for 2 months. I was kinda bummed when he went to LIV cuz I almost never see it anymore.  At the other extreme, I can't look at Bryson when he plays. Even if it's very effective, it's coyote-ugly to watch.  I'd rather watch Charles Barkley than Bryson. ....  
    • Thank you for that information,I would have loved to see him in person
    • I think he was always kind of like that - he hit it off the planet relatively frequently throughout his career. I saw him play a couple of times. One time at Walton Heath in the European Open. He was playing the 13th on the Old (dogleg right par 5) and his drive had gone through the fairway and found a patch of grass in the woods there to the left (the woods have now gone). He had an opening to play back to the fairway. Maybe 25 yards to reach the fairway and 65 yards to run through the other side. He was maybe 230 yards away from the green, but the trees made sure that was not a viable option (at least that's what I thought at the time). He pulled out a pretty long iron - probably a 3 and gave it a full blooded thrash. I watched this ball come out straight for about 40 yards and then it just turned hard left, but stayed in the air (still not sure how he did that). He started the ball at a point that must have been 100 yards right of the green and hooked it basically that whole 100 yards and the ball wound up on the front of the green.  Shotmaking he was pretty much peerless. Not sure his swing was ever technically solid. Flowing and fun to watch yes, but not one you'd want to copy.  As to the question, I have heard a few people suggest that Mickey Wright had the best swing ever. Frank Nobilo had a pretty sweet looking one. Bruce Lietzke's was pretty cool - he managed to maintain PGA Tour playing rights with basically little to no work on his game - got to be a lot said for that.
    • A lot of us on this forum are hyper competitive, we just know not to break things that don't belong to us! that is why I stated "a person with a poor attitude grows up with no consequences" it is not all entitlement.
    • Yea, it is a cult following. Especially with the YouTube golf personalities using them. They did great marketing in a space that not many other golf clubs are getting into yet. Especially for putters.  I tried them out at Golf Galaxy before; I can't stand them look of them.
