Just got a Vokey wedge set, Spin Milled 52, 56, 60 degree. What is everyone's thoughts on these? Switched from Cleveland. Thought I would give them a try.

They're good wedges bud. I had them but I switched to Nike VR Forged now and I love them. Don't worry though Vokey wedges are top notch! Good luck!

Just got my 51 and 56 as well.  They seem thicker than other wedges I've played, but I wouldn't say it's a bad thing.

I have 4 of em (swapped out my PW from my set) 48* (bent to 47*), 52*, 56*, and 60*.

I absolutely love them. I have so much confidence with one of them in my hands. Vokey + Premium ball = scary spin. Really soft feel too, plays much like a forged club (try to bend them, I dare you....its so easy).

I switched from Clevand to the same loft setup you have. I love them. I feel they are a bit heavier and my ball flight is a bit lower and about 7 yards further with each one.

I bought the 52.08, 56.10, and 60.12 Vokey wedges when they were first intoduced.  I loved them.  I absolutely wore them out but that took several years!  I have never played with a wedge long enough to wear the chrome from the sole and wear away the grooves on the face.  At different time intervals, I replaced each wedge with the exact same loft and bounce.  My 52 and 60 are polished chrome because I purchased them just before the dull finished, spin milled wedges came out.  The chrome is about worn away from the sole of my 60.  If it makes me mad, I'll replace it with the new spin milled 60.  My 56 is spin milled and the non glare finish is much easier to use.  You can tell, I love Vokey Wedges and I will not change!  You made a good decision and you will enjoy them for many years to come.

the chew up balls so fast its a joke.  Even when though mine is over a year old it will still destroy a ProV1 with ease.  They feel good sure, but if I ever hit a low spinner, the ball is gone.

Are the Vokey C-C wedges any easier on balls?

Only time the C-C's will give you any less spin is out of the rough. Either way, I think it's more the face than the grooves that tear the balls (which is mostly an issue with ProV's than any other ball...go figure)

The ball scuffing will go away a bit as the wedges wear.  Vokey are my favorite personally.  They should be great for you.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      In terms of ball striking, not really. Ball striking being how good you are at hitting the center of the clubface with the swing path you want and the loft you want to present at impact.  In terms of getting better launch conditions for the current swing you have, it is debatable.  It depends on how you swing and what your current launch conditions are at. These are fine tuning mechanisms not significant changes. They might not even be the correct fine tuning you need. I would go spend the $100 to $150 dollars in getting a club fitting over potentially wasting money on changes that ChatGPT gave you.  New grips are important. Yes, it can affect swing weight, but it is personal preference. Swing weight is just one component.  Overall weight effects the feel. The type of golf shaft effects the feel of the club in the swing. Swing weight effects the feel. You can add so much extra weight to get the swing weight correct and it will feel completely different because the total weight went up. Imagine swinging a 5lb stick versus a 15lb stick. They could be balanced the same (swing weight), but one will take substantially more effort to move.  I would almost say swing weight is an old school way of fitting clubs. Now, with launch monitors, you could just fit the golfer. You could have two golfers with the same swing speed that want completely different swing weight. It is just personal preference. You can only tell that by swinging a golf club.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      Thanks for the comments. I fully understand that these changes won't make any big difference compared to getting a flawless swing but looking to give myself the best chance of success at where I am and hopefully lessons will improve the swing along the way. Can these changes make minor improvements to ball striking and misses then that's fine. From what I understood about changing the grips, which is to avoid them slipping in warm and humid conditions, is that it will affect the swing weight since midsize are heavier than regular and so therefore adding weight to the club head would be required to avoid a change of feel in the club compared to before?

      I think part of it is there hasn't been enough conclusive studies specific to golf regarding block studies. Maybe the full swing, you can't study it because it is too complicated and to some degree it will fall into variable or random.

      Going one step stiffer in the golf shaft, of the same make and model will have minor impact on the launch conditions. It can matter, it is a way to dial in some launch conditions if you are a few hundred RPM off or the angle isn't there. Same with moving weights around. A clubhead weights 200-220 grams. You are shifting a fraction of that to move the CG slightly. It can matter, again its more about fine tuning. As for grip size, this is more personal preference. Grip size doesn't have any impact on the swing out of personal preference.  You are going to spend hundreds of dollars for fine tuning. Which if you want, go for it. I am not sure what your level of play is, or what your goals in golf are.  In the end, the golf swing matters more than the equipment. If you want to go to that level of detail, go find a good golf club fitter. ChatGPT is going to surface scan reddit, golfwrx, and other popular websites for the answers. Basically, it is all opinionated gibberish at this point.
