I guess it comes to what looks comfortable to you when you stand over the ball.

I have a vokey, but I don't think you could go wrong with a CG or a vokey. Both great wedges.

If you like a heavy wedge then Volkeys or Niki VR are great wedges.

VR Wedges are NOT heavy at light

they are super light granted this could be due to the shaft, but I know compared to my Callys, they are paperweights

In my opinion you can't go wrong with Vokeys. They are the only wedge I will play. But wedges, like putters, are so personal. You have to get what feels best off the club face, has the right balance for your swing and is pleasing to the eye at address.

Those three things are very different for everybody.

If those three things for you happen to be in a $60 set of Ram wedges, get those. If it’s in the $110 per club Vokey wedge, get that. Personally, I think wedges and putters are the most important clubs in the bag. So get whatever is best to you, regardless of price. Depending on your budget, of course. I just mean…if there is anything to splurge on, wedges should be it.

What I Play:

Driver: R9 460
4 Wood: G15

Irons: AP1 4-PW

Wedges: Vokey 52* & 60*, Mizuno MP-T 10 58*

Putter: Newport Studio Select 2.7

Ball: Nike One Vapor

Thanks for all the advise !

My local dealer lent me his personal CG-15 56/14 and Vokey 60/07 to try on the course ...... I really liked the looks of the Vokey, but the CG-15 played like hell ...... so I went for the CG-15's.

I bought a Vokey BH-11 a few weeks back. I wish I would have kept my Ping Tour now. I dont seem to have as good a feel with this SW.

I cannot comment on most premium wedges out there, but my 60.04 vokey spins more than anything i've ever experienced around the green. One of my main courses is relatively dry and fast, and i am able to stop the ball dead in the 15-30 yd range. Being able to be very aggressive even when short sided or with tight pins has help my game dramatically improved by scrambling abilities. If there is anywhere around your home town where you can demo one, i would strongly recommend trying one out.

Wedges are more personal than drivers and almost as personal as putters.

Who cares what other people like?

Give me a round or two and I could "love" any forged wedge and most cast ones. It's a matter of spending a lot of quality time at the practice area getting used to it.

I haven't found that to be true. I spine all of my shafts and all of my shafts are after market shafts. During this process I also weigh all of my club heads and record there wt's. The Niki VR wedges, which for me are a 54* and 60* both weighed more than my Edilon or Cleveland wedges. However the bottom line is, find a wedge you like and practice with it/them alot.

LOL, apparently Niki cuts some weight out when shipping to Canada

He's likely talking about swingweight.

I've been playing the Taylormade RAC tp wedges for over 5 years now, and I swear by them. Switched from Vokey's and probably won't go back, but I am in full agreement with those who say it's all about personal preference... Swing all the brands that have good ratings on any site, and find out which ones suit your swing style the best.

I have played 2 cleveland RTG wedges and a vokey for a long time. Recently i bought the MIzunos ( http://thesandtrap.com/clubs/mizuno_..._wedges_review ) and i have to say that they are awesome. They really are. I would definitely give them a good look. They spin well and I can stop them on a dime. I really like the weight of the head. Seems a bit heavier than the RTG's and I like it. I feel like I can feel the head position throughout the swing. I dont think you can go wrong if you stick with the better brands. Good Luck.

      Day 36: back to some mirror work tonight. Need a bit more forearm roll in my feels to help with the shallowing.

      _sigh_ so close to red text.  Went away for three days, but didn't do a practice morning-of-departure (Friday) nor evening-of-return (Sunday), so I had three misses, back to day one. Day 1, May 4 2026.  At home today, spent nearly an hour in my practice room, hitting about three dozen practice balls, primarily with my 6-iron.

      Width at P4 Has Downstream Effects on P6 and P7

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I would think of it in terms of time. The time it takes to get the arm angle into a good position to deliver the club with proper shaft lean. Another component is rotation, but that is also a matter of timing. It relates to how the body stalls to give the golfer time to hit the ball. If you have to get 80+ degrees out of that right elbow in one third of a second versus 50 degrees in the same time then you have to steal time from somewhere. It is usually body rotation. That does not help with shaft lean.  I agree in that amateurs tend to make the swing more complicated than pro golfers.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I haven't been able to practice like I wanted and won't for the next week.  1. The weather sucks in Ohio this year. I have been mostly inside hitting foam balls. Just kind of my basic stuff.  2. I woke up last Saturday with a left side rib muscle on fire. If I turned or leaned a certain way it would spasm that almost buckled my knees. I have been taking a break to let that settle. I don't want to get a long term injury. I think I pinched a nerve or just aggravated a muscles.   3. I am going on a mini-vacation to Florida (screw you Ohio weather) with a friend, and rolling that into a work conference I have next week. I will be with out my clubs for a week.  I will be back next in two Fridays to hit the ground running with some warmer temps and better weather in Ohio, hopefully. I would really like to get more out on the course and the range.
