Golf is about 90% confidence, its more about what you're comfortable with when you step up to the plate.

My confidence comes from vokeys.. has been ever since I've played. You set it down and just expect it land exactly like you want to with the silky smooth feel. And if you cant stop a vokey on a dime then you're probably hitting rocks instead of golf balls.

I want to hit a vokey. One thing I do like about them is the flat spot on the sole of the club, seems like it would glide through rough grass easier around the greens especially on chip shots

I have the z series, love them.
No different than any other wedge though, not as heavy as a head as cleveland and some others
but they check more than enough.

don't get the CG15's, i've tried it multiple times and I don't see a difference with the laser milled mini grooves. vokey's are probably the best, but I personally play the Nike Victory Red Wedges because they're the most forgiving to me.

as for the Taylormade wedges, I've never tried them but i've heard many good things about it. (was about to try them but the victory reds felt perfect to me so I got them instead)

There is no "best" wedge. Each one is just as good as the next.

^ This. There is nothing "best" when it comes to golf. It is all about who gets what sort of confidence out of his gear and also how much they want to spend on there gear. I get confidence out of my Nike equipment so that's why I went with it.

If it fits you properly, yes. Get the wedge that you like the best, that fits your game and you should be good to go. For that reason, I'm a big fan of Scratch wedges. They have a ton of options so you're sure to find a wedge grind that fits you exactly right out of the box. I prefer their 1018 line but I've read a ton of good stuff about their 8620 wedges as well.

Of those that you mentioned, I'd likely lean towards the Vokey wedges for the same reason. There are a bunch of grind options available right out of the box that fit the majority of golfers. Get the right one for your game and you should be good to go. If you're not opposed to having some custom work done... Then I'd look at either the Scratch Tour Department wedges or Miura.

I play the Callaway X-Forged wedges, and love them. I have hit a few vokeys and couldnt get the feel down for some reason. They are great wedges tho. I tried my buddy's CG14 and it was a little too hot off the face for me.

I like Vokey....always have...specially the spin milled. I was leaning towards CG15 lately, but mostly out of curiosity .... I really like the feel and clear options you can get with Vokey's. I am not a fan of ambiguous definitions such as standard that you get in Cleveland...I like numbers!!!!

I looked at the Z and didn't like them, While the face looks like it will create some mean spin, the back loos like cheap silver paint.....I have seen clones with better finishes. Like others have said, it's about confidence....Vokey inspires that confidence in me...I know that if I screw up a shot or not meet my goal is not bcs I have crappy wedges..
It's the indian, not the arrow! But it sure is nice to have good arrows!!!!!

Ping, hands down! best wedges I have ever used

THIS!

just got back from golf galaxy and went around testing/ swinging all the wedges. -vokey -cleveland -callaway -mizuno (no taylormade tried) and out of all of those the ping w series wedge looked best at address, felt the best, swing weight was real nice, nice grooves, and head size and bounce were exactly to my liking.

    • What is this committee I keep hearing about? We’re a small league playing at a county course. And these are temporary issues that may be gone in a day or two. In any case, I wish more people agreed with me. It seems that trying to convince golfers to modernize rules is like trying to change the Bible.
    • Yeah, I agree that some of the charts are hard to make sense of. That short game chart is showing how often a short game shot ends up within a certain distance. The orange bar is all shots, the green bar is for shots within 25 yards, and the blue bar is for shots between 25 and 50 yards. I just play around with all of it and will figure it out. I would suggest just diving in and see what jumps out and work on that.
    • PGA Tour players weight shift to their lead foot way sooner and to a higher % than amateur. I would say it is something like close to 90% lead foot at impact for PGA Tour player. For Amateurs it could be under 50%. You need to get the weight transfer over more and sooner. You can't rely on the feeling of finishing on the lead foot as validation you did so. 
    • Just because it's a small league at a county course doesn't mean their couldn't be a small group of people who take on the role/responsibility of ensuring the rules are properly enforced and being the rules committee for your league   That's the whole point of GUR. It's a temporary thing. Also like I mentioned before, since you're playing on the same course it's highly likely this isn't the first time this sort of thing has happened to a bunker on this course.   There's nothing that needs changed though. There is the rule for how the situation is supposed to be handled as well as an alternative for how it could have been handled differently via a committee. Just because your league chooses not to have a committee doesn't mean the rules of golf need changed for everyone.   Absurd logic. You and your opponent can't just agree on rules and make things up as you go. If it's just a 1v1 match for fun, sure do whatever you want. In an actual league with other competitors, no shot. Everyone needs to play by the same rules. How would you feel if someone else in the league took a casual drop on a different hole and their playing partner agreed with it but you didn't agree with it and you found out about it later?
    • I suggest you actually read some of the Rules, either online or on the USGA (or R&A) phone app.  Here's the Definition of Committee: You have a small league, whoever is in charge of that league is the Committee.  This would be the same person (group) who might decide that you should play Lift Clean and Place (Modal Local Rule E-3), to institute the "leaf rule", (MLR F-14), or that you should move a ball out of aerification holes (MLR E-4).
