Hello!! I think Vokey wedges are the best I carry
52*, 56*, 60* Do you agree? If you don't agree what do you like?
These wedges have helped me not change my swing 100 yards and in(takes out the guessing game), its responsible from me going from 19 HC to 12 HC...

I used the Cobra Trusty-Rusty's for years, but I recently switched to the Spin Milled Vokey's. A 54 degree, bent to a 53 degrees, and 60 degree.

Vokeys may be nice but they're just wedges. As long as its got grooves, I'll spin the ball.

I prefer my RAC TPs to the Vokeys, less clicky. That said, I like the Mizuno MP T10s over my RACs...just waiting for these to wear out.

A wedge is a wedge, basically. But ive been using vokeys for so long, and become so accustomed to them, that i don't think i could use anything else. Even if i wanted to.

Hello!! I think Vokey wedges are the best I carry Do you agree?

Probably, but since I don't know what else you carry, it's purely a guess.

I have an oilcan 52* Vokey. I didn't think that through. Nice wedge, but now that it's rusty I think it looks and feels like shi+. It's like asking "who's your favourite late night talk show host?" I can think of a couple who just plain suck, but they might someone else's favourite.

Love Vokeys, though I haven't played one in a long while. I've used Cleveland 588's, cg10's, cg12's, cg 14's and cg15's and love them all. My 56* CG12 is my go to wedge love that thing.

These are actually my favorite because they are the best wedges I've bought. I used to use a dunlop 60* a wilson thing 56* and some generic brand 52* so yeah for me the vokeys are great. but hey, forums are made to talk about random things like this...

nah.. better clubs... old wedges were wilson dunlop and some generic one. the vokeys have better bite, crisp feeling.

I prefer my Mizuno MP, MacGregor VIP, and Ram TW wedges. But they're forged, so that's probably why. I do like the size and shape of Vokeys, I just like other stuff better.

Groan. There is no difference in "feel" between forged and cast clubs. When is this nonsense going to stop?

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

looks you started a new topic... i'll sit back and watch.

Watch what? Clubs that sound harder are producing different sound waves - different vibrations. Unless you're playing super spongy grips made for arthritis sufferers, they do feel different. If I was blindfolded and had ear plugs could I tell the difference? Who cares. Plug your nose and you probably can't tell the difference between strawberry and vanilla ice cream, but if someone says they taste the same they're a nutjob.

For the record, the Vokey feels softer than other cast wedges I have (like Wilson High MOI and vintage Spalding) and if I was to give specific reasons why I prefer the forged versions, it's probability to tweak the lofts and lies without fear of them breaking.

I love my Mizuno wedges. Vokeys are OK, but they are cast, not forged and forged is where its at.
Look at it this way: the best irons in the world are forged. Everyone loves the feel of these forged irons. Shortgame is all about feel, so why then would you not want forged wedges???

Not to debate myself, but probably durability and not having to get the lofts and lies checked, ever.

    • Day 10: More putting with the metronome. Short putts feel really slow and long putts feel really fast. Getting more comfortable every day. 
    • Day 301 - 2025-07-28 Watched a lot of golf today at Fox Chapel, but then came home and did some mirror work. Re-dedicated. Which is saying something, as I've been playing okay. But relying on my athleticism to just do "okay."
    • Heck, to add on to that, point out to them that a scratch golfer has to shoot 68 to stay a scratch golfer, and their course handicap is +4!
    • Interesting take on Pacific versus Bandon Dunes. I tend to prefer Pacific but it's a little splitting hairs. All four are great courses and really fun to play! My order is: Old Mac Bandon Trails Pacific Dunes Bandon Dunes Though if a little cheating is allowed I'd give Trails a T1. Anyway, thanks for sharing!
    • Eh... what's he going to say? "Hey, I bought a new driver. It's 10 yards shorter and I hit twice as many OB now." Does he have any data to back up his claim? Or is he just going by what he saw at his fitting?  I've been using either Shotscope or Arccos since 2018 and if there's one thing I've learned is that it's the archer not the arrow. When I'm hitting the driver well, it goes far and straight. When I'm a mess, it's a mess.  If you were properly fit for a driver in the last (dare I say 10 years) 5 years for sure. I'd be surprised if you can get more than a couple of yards out of it by getting a new one. The COR rule has been 0.83 since 1998, with widespread and standardized enforcement since 2003. Obviously, the engineers can still optimize spin and launch and shaft flex and/or kick point. So there are things that can be done. But I believe the days of 10 or 15 yard gains are over... unless your current driver is unfit for you. (as @Typhoon92 mentions above.) If you were fit for your epic. You will likely see very little on course performance difference.  Having said that, I get a new driver every 2 or 3 years... Why? Because I like shiny things. So, if you want a new driver, get a new driver.
