Some claim the unchromed wedges feel softer than the chromed.  I can't feel a difference.  Back in the day I thought it was cool if my wedge was rusted.  Now I could care less, I usually opt for chrome finish.

I used to go for a copper / brass look for the SW and crome for everything else so I wouldn't accidentally grab the wrong stick in a rush. Now everything sort of matches the irons and I have to do a double take when pulling a wedge - mistakes happen.

I think the grooves of the plated wedges - satin chrome is a favorite - last longer than raw.

As to the Vokey SM4, it is a fine wedge. Unless you really pick, the 60-10 seems a good overall grind. At least it is for me.

I play four wedges.. all vokeys except the 60 degree that is a Mizuno T11.. everytime i play with it, i feel like changing all my vokeys to T11s:)

I won't do it 'cause the vokeys are great for my game but this Mizuno wedge is just AMAZING! Try it out..

Please explain this.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

I owned a MIzuno MP T11 60-08, and it is an excellent wedge - it stopped BStone e5's in their tracks. But something was lacking - I wanted more glide, which comes from more bounce or at least a different grind. The Vokey SM4 is a tad larger head towards the bottom - it was redesigned this year - and the 60-10 M grind fits my swing better than the Mizuno.

Both are excellent - but typically one will fit your swing better than the other - choose the one that fits better.

Maybe he means that if he had to do it over he'd go with the Mizuno wedges, but the Titleist Vokeys are still getting the job done (i.e. fit for purpose) so he's not about to swap them out just because he'd "prefer" the Mizuno version.

Check out the Callaway Forged Wedges. I have a mixed wedge set: old cleveland sandwedge from when I was 17, Vokey 52, and just picked up the Callway Forged 60 degree in a copper finish about 2 months ago I love it. I like the look of the oil can/copper finishes myself. Try out a few different brands and see what feels best.

The SM4 60/10 M grind is sweet and should be able to cover a lot of shots. I have a similar Titleist 60 TVD (M grind) being sent my way soon.

I use a 58* instead of a 60, I find it more versatile, but that's personal opinion.

I had a 58.08 Vokey and never could make decent contact around the greens.  I skulled so many shots low and over the green that I finally sold it just so I wouldn't be tempted to put it back in the bag.

I picked up a Scratch 58* at the PGA Superstore and hit it a few times, went and figured out which grind they offered that best fit my normal swing and bought one.  It ended up being a D/D grind that has 14* of bounce.  I have never liked a wedge so much, the additional bounce has really made my short pitches more accurate and stable.

The best part is that they have them on sale at Rockbottomgolf for $50 now, so I'm going to order a couple more in different lofts at that price.

      Too Old?

      By RetiredOldMan · Posted

      StuM,  I have, in the past, added a left handed club. (Ususally a 7 iron) However, I usually take a stroke penalty and move the ball to where I want it.  I play for fun and in a pinch can use theback side if my club if I don't want the penalty stroke.    RetiredOldMan,  Terry

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      By saevel25 · Posted

      So, Brendan Sorsby, Texas Tech transfer QB, was found guilty of sports betting by the NCAA. He admitted to it. He placed thousands of bets over multiple years while at Indiana and Cincinnati. This included betting on his own teams.  The NCAA rules ban athletes from betting on any sport (college or pro).  A retired visiting judge from Tarrant County, Texas has put an injunction on the NCAA ruling. He is a visiting judge because the first judge was a graduate and big fan of Texas Tech, and he recused himself. The judged ruled the following... "Under Curry's order, Sorsby is permitted to play for Texas Tech's 2026 season on the condition that he continues his treatment for a gambling and anxiety disorder and serves a two-game suspension (missing games against Abilene Christian and Oregon State)."  Don't get me wrong, I don't particularly care for the NCAA. That still doesn't mean that a college can choose when or where to say, "Yea we agree to these rules for all our sports, well except in this case." Here is a breakdown from S&W. The Hidden Weapon in Sorsby’s Injunction: How a Lubbock County Court Order Quietly Neutralized the NCAA’s Most Powerful Enforcement Tool - Law Offices of Snell & Wilmer By Ryan J. Regula On June 8, 2026, Lubbock County District Court Judge Ken Curry issued a temporary injunction in Brendan Sorsby v. National Collegiate Athletic Association, Cause No. DC-2026-CV-0791 (99th Judicial District... The main judgement made sense. Sorsby, I am going to have all this harm done to me if I don't get to play. The Judge, I agree. The penalty for gambling is too harsh, so here are all these things you must do, and I will grant this injunction against the NCAA. Basically, an analogy would be when a person goes into court for a DUI and they agree to all these other things to not end up in jail.  What sucks for the NCAA is the NCAA has appealed to Texas’ Seventh Court of Appeals, based in Amarillo. All four justices that preside over the court are graduates of Texas Tech University School of Law. It would be hilarious if all four of them had to recuse themselves 🤣. For those who like to read legal rulings...

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By StuM · Posted

      The chatter in my brain is when the distance is between clubs since I am pretty weak at shortened backswings, etc. I try to simply decide if being long or short is the better outcome and choose my club based on that and simply not even try for the “real” distance.  For me a full normal swing is what I strive for.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I saw this comment made in a golf article... "Most golfers stand over a 4- or 5-iron still negotiating with themselves. They think about how hard to swing, whether they have the right club, if they have the aim correct and more. It’s a lot to deal with and long irons punish the “half-in” golf swing." I am not sure the "most golfers" is correct regarding the bolded part. I can understand if there is a bunker, water, and/or OB that a lot of golfers would be fixated on that. I am not sure that leads to ending up more times there. Pending your level in golf, the variance is so large in outcomes, it could be just with in the expected outcomes. I can understand if have a big lake on the right side of the hole being one of the most terrifying shots for right-handed amateur golfers.  I am not sure many golfers are standing over the ball talking to themselves, "Ok, maybe I should step back and pull the 4-iron. Am I lined up right? Oh, the wind came up, should I swing harder? What am I going to have for dinner tonight, maybe steak. (Joking, somewhat 😛)" A question is that how much chatter do you get while standing over the ball. Are you questioning the everything about your golf shot?
