Vokey makes/made wedges that are not spin milled, like the Tour Chrome.  These days, though, it seems that almost all you hear about Vokey are his spin milled wedges, and for good reason.  They are great.

If you haven't hit the wedge, you could always return it, but the non-spin milled are still excellent clubs.

Not necessarily.  My 52* Vokey is a 252.08 model that's pre-spin milled.  It's a great club for controlled shots under 100 when I need to keep the ball lower or full swings at 100-115yds.  It will chew up the ball if you're a high spin guy though.

It could be that its just not a spin-milled Vokey.  Ive owned a few Vokeys that were legit, but werent SM.

I have one.  It is a piece of crap.  I hate it.  Bought it for 120 yard shots.  Goes 100 same as my 56*.  It cant possibly be my swing could it.  No, in truth, i love it around the greens.  Just frustrating on the full shots thus far.

A lot of the Vokey gap wedges aren't spin milled.  When they started spin milling them, they originally didn't spin mill anything below 54*.  It's not crap at all.  It'll spin plenty for a gap wedge...more so than your other irons, but less than your sand wedge...just like it's supposed to.  As you can see, I have one, and I love it.  I say stick with it!

Good luck :-)

    • Day 187: 6/27/24 Putting practice on a 3’ 1” wide ruler. Slow motion swings with a PW.
    • Those look good.
    • I hit a bad tee shot on hole 7, but made a stupid recovery.  There was the easy punch out into the fairway and have about 150 in. Then there was to hit a low overdraw that stayed in this alley of trees that could run the ball up near the green. I was 185 yards into the green. I took my 5 iron and laced a low draw to about 15 yards short of the green. Off a pretty tight light as well. I was really proud of this shot. The ball didn't get more than 15-Ft off the ground for about 160 yards. 
    • Trying to describe the swings tonight in comparison to the better swigs on the range.  1. Not hanging out on the trail side as long as I need. Even though it was a slight push cut, the best struck ball was the 7 iron on hole 9. nGIR from 185 yards, like 8 yards off center of green from 185 yards, so like a 4% leave, not too shabby. Took me long enough to exaggerate this feel. 🙄 I finally was able to get an up and down for par. Short game feels average, but I can't buy a putt right now. I am hitting decent putts. Good weight. Just nothing going in outside of 5-FT.  2. Downswings were not the good kind where I get separation with the hands from my body. It was a lot of dipping the body and keeping elbow bend. When I hit a lot of big pushes, I know this is happening. It tends to be the pattern, especially when I struggle to turn good. Things just dip way to the inside. Just struggled with this tonight. I think it was probably because I didn't get the pause feel correct.  3. Wedges were really good. SW, GW, and PW are the best clubs right now to feel a good swing. I am just able to really feel the club stop short of A4, pause it, and then rip it. I had 138 yards shot into a par 3, and I took my PW. I felt like I kept the swing at like A2.5, and just crushed it to 138 yards. Like, ball landed 4-FT right of the pin, then spun back 25-FT off the green. Kind of a stupid green, like 5% slope back to front.  Current good feels.  1. Swing length to A3.  2. Gain separation between my body and hands in the downswing.  3. Somehow add turning into this? This really my biggest struggle. There are three outcomes right now. First, I turn and don't get my hands down well. Second, I get my hands down and it feels like I do not turn at all. Third, I sync up both and crush the ball.
