Has anyone here swapped out their PW for one of these?  I was thinking of dumping my Razr-X 44 degree PW for the Titleist 46, but I'm concerned the 2 degrees of loft and the more blade-like, less forgiving sole may cause significant distance loss...

I have a Vokey 50, 54 & 58 and prefer them over the wide soled irons my set offers, but I'm not sure whether it makes sense to take the plunge and go with all non-set wedges...

Here's the specs on the clubs in question:

RazrX

9i....40*....35.75" shaft

PW.44*....35.25" shaft

GW.49*....35.25" shaft

Vokey

PW.46*....35.75" shaft

GW.50*....35.50" shaft

The Vokey PW would be 6* more in lift, but have the same length as the RX 9i. So, you might have a slightly compressed distance gap between 9i and V.PW (maybe 8 yds. rather than 10). But, if you know the distance you can live with it.

You would just have to check the clubs out... RX heads might be a bit hotter in distance than the Vokeys.

IF you can hit the other Vokeys, a 46* should fit in OK. Also, be aware that Vokey has different sole grinds for different classes of wedges.

Again, go with what works. People do it both ways. Do you have trouble hitting the RX PW?

Focus, connect and follow through!

I have a 44* Callaway Diablo Edge PW and a 46* Titleist SM4 Vokey, and I use them both and they work great.  I bought the 46* because I had too much yardage between my PW and *50. My PW goes about 125 and my 46* about 105-110 and my 50* goes about 90 yards.  It's the perfect setup for me.

Not really trouble hitting the PW, just not liking the wide sole on ANY wedge.  I'm on the fence.  I also get what you mean by the distance gap between 9i and PW...  I like my Vokey 50, 54 & 58, but I'm not sure the 46 makes sense...  At one point or other, you have to stop and run with a consistent iron set.  Whats next, Vokey 9i?  LOL.

Thanks for the reply.  I think I will mull this over further...

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      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?
