Hi, I need a new sand wedge, the current one is 15+ years old!

I hit the Vokey Spin Milled wedges and like them a lot but am torn between two lofts. 54* and 56*. I like the 54* because I can also use it from the fairway for longer distances, but how would it be out of the sand? I would think that with a 14* bounce I should be ok, but is the sole width wide enough. For very short sand shots I can always use my lob wedge.

So how is it getting out of the sand with a 54*, 14* bounce wedge? Any specific experiences with the Vokey SM wedges would be appreciated.

Thanks!
Kevin

I would say you'll have better luck in the sand with your lob wedge and use the 54 for your 100 yard shot and longer bunker shots where you'll need more run. I have a 54 SW and I only use it in the sand if I have a longer bunker shot and don't need to stop it quickly.

    • Completing your first 2 holes in 9 strokes then taking 48 to complete the next 7 is wild. 
    • I had some great moments today, but some garbage as well. Today was my first swing of any club this years.  Hit the range and simply pounded all but 1 shot on target with reasonable distance for me.     first hold wax aboar 5.  I crushed my drive and 3-hybrid and was 6” off the front in too.  Putting was lackluster and I got par 2nd hole par 4 intoning regulation but left my birdie putt 2 “ short, shells then fell off and finished the front 9 with a crappy 57. Back 9 was better with nothing worse than bogey on all holes until #16 when I took a 10 on a par 4. 🤬.  Finished ok and shot 51 on back 9. 108 is garbage but there were a lot of good shots so I have hope. I was frustrated that I ghought my Shot Scope was charged, it was not
    • I like Justin Rose and I wouldn’t mind seeing him win another major, I just didn’t want him to win this one 😃
    • I think Rose might have the most zeroed out putting stroke of anyone out there, although as golfing superpowers go that would be one of the most useless.
    • That pre-swing routine tho.. 🤓
