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.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus.

      I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
