I stand corrected, but all of the interviews I've read with Vokey have him insisting that his passion is for wedge design.

A wedge designer wanting to go forwards, not backwards. There is a joke in there somewhere.

Man, another 4 months at least until the courses open....

Stretch = 1 Shorty = 0

I'll take half of that point too.

Wasn't aimed at you personally. Purely rhetorical question.

Gotcha.

If you like the feel of Vokeys, check out some of Titleist's older blades - e.g. Tour Models from the 80s and early 90s. There are "better" Titleist blades out there, but these older sets are relatively inexpensive and they set up similar. I put a 52* Vokey in with my old set of Titleists Tour Models (along with a 588 SW) when I use them and it feels like part of the set - very Vokeyesque. I'm just sayin' - do it! I like the feel of my old Vokey, and I say old because I got the unfinished version by mistake. It still works - just looks extremely bad.

Interesting...I'll keep my eye out for a nice set of titleist blades. Not really dying for them right here right now but in time.

Waiting out the 2 feet of snow that just dropped on the course....

Strange question. What would the characteristics of these blades be? Would they be cast? What about the Vokey name would make them any better or more unique? The one trait people like most about Vokey wedges is their tear drop shape (based on Cleveland designs) and spin milled grooves. The latter would not be applicable to longer irons. I guess it would be cool (?) to some people that their irons said Bob Vokey on them...

What about a combo set? Would maybe venture into the 9i-sw. Titleist BV combo perhaps 5-8i Titleist AP's and the rest of the set could be 9i-sw Vokeys all the same finish. Anyone?

    • Day 47, June 22.  After work today, I spent 20 minutes in my indoor practice room, hitting about as many balls.  Slow, as slow as I could, 6-iron swings, same priority piece as the past month. 
    • Day 291 6-22 full, faster swings, focusing on low point, missing towel. Recorded some face on and dtl. Practicing full speed changes is something I wasn't doing enough. 
    • Day 2 (22 Jun 26) - used the clip the tee drill today - focused on picking the tee and then collecting the divot.  Hit a few hard foam balls later in the session.  
    • Club of the week, my hybrid. Stripe show on every shot. This one was probably the best. About 240 to the green. The ball was on a severe upslope. I hit it just off the back of the green (like 1-ft. 
    • That will sting for a long time. Had all the momentum in the world.  The on course heckling of WC a bit over the top. IMO, that may have even galvanized him. Kinda like RC. He may have picked up some sympathy too. So boo to the boos. I can't stand him (and it's not just the incidences) but I think when punishment outsizes the crime, the tide tend to turn. He has stuck to "I've earned the hatred" narrative. Smart kid.
