I dont know if this was directed at me, but it is not such a disaster as one might think.

First I purchared the club at a local liquadation sale, where 12 of the local courses get together and sell off all thier surplus. I walked in to find a 60 volkey spin milled marked at $50. The one next to it was $90. I came back an hour later and inspected it, looked fine. I offered $40, the guy dropped to $45.....MINE!!!!!

Anyway I use my 60 degree Volkey from 50 yards out or less. I use it to chip on the fringe and lob shots.

Part of me thinks I use it too much as my 56 is getting cob webs. (I hit my 56 60 to 75 yards, but I am rarely that distance).

I have been looking at going down to a 54 and taking both the 60 & 56 out of the bag.

As much as I like my 60 for short shorts, I find my 56 volkey ( I paid full price to match the 60) to be not nearly as forgiving as I would like.

I have a 50 Callaway Big Bertha Gap wedge that is forgiving and awesome.

I might have to go try other clubs and find something that is forgiving. I hear Cleveland is forgiving.......

Stamp a cast club "forged" and people will tell you it's softer than a forged club stamped "cast." Build a cast muscle back and people will tell you it feels softer than a forged cavity back (with no markings on either).

You believe what you want to believe, and "feel" is a lie.

Watch any Mizuno videos where they discuss newer irons like the MP-63 and they talk a lot about "tuning" the iron to produce a pleasing sound, because it's a certain sound that good players associate with a solid shot. They try and make that sound easier to produce - they're tricked up.  It's really no wonder that Mizuno Tour players either kept their old irons or jumped right over that line.

I know - OT.

And all equipment companies know that sound = feel.
