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...

      Day 9 - (9 Jun 26) - Weekly nine hole session with my good friend, I played again from one set of tees up from my usual (set up the bag 4h, 6i-Pw, Gw, Lw) to focus more on iron play in the approaches (esp longer ones on the 4's and 5's).  Used the hybrid for tee shots only, had to play irons in from there on....made for a great work on course management and dealing with iron shots I normally don't see.  Key focus was on keeping ball in play, playing to distances that set up for either GiR or nGiR's.  Played a split nine (5 on the front, 4 on the back - the turn works nicely as both nines turn and run parallel coming in - easy to jump from 5 to 15 (especially when the course is not busy)).  Worked with my friend on his course management skills - offering thoughts as a "caddie" might and helping him to confidently choose and execute the shot he was seeing.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By WillieT · Posted

      Interesting that you post this - was playing today with my good friend in our typical weekly nine-hole round.  He has a lot of chatter in his mind, most of the time, yet today was much improved.  Yes, he went through a number of swing thoughts (like the ones highlighted), but then you could almost hear the switch click off - it was like when I shot the distance, and said its "X yards", he confidently said "this club should cover that..." and made his shot most of which were nicely rewarded.   Came away shooting one of his best nine-hole rounds ever.  For me, I do have thoughts  - not in terms of negotion but rather evaluation.  What is the wind doing?  Is there trouble - left, right, middle - not that I am a great fader or drawer of the ball?  Where is the better landing spot/zone?  What is my target window and what in the distance helps me see it?  I wonder if the "negotiation" is more about not understanding "typical distance for a given club (carry and roll)" and more about remembering how that flushed 5i that went and went or how the 4i that can get there with but not reliably or accurately.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      God I hate when golf can’t give me n+1 day of success. Drives me up the wall when my body is, FU! Im like, ok let’s check the vid. Yep too much turn, arms getting behind me. Ok, I work on that. Get the feel back for a shorter swing. Confirm with video. Then going back to arms down stuff.  Arms down, nope it’s hands out towards the ball. Oh, you get arms down better. Guess what, you don’t get to rotate and you hit 6 inches behind the ball. Yay!  Maybe I should have walked off the range and not wasted my time. I wish there was a body alert system when it’s going to a SOB for the day. 😭 OK rant over, I’ll be back at this tomorrow.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By GolfLug · Posted

      I mean there has to be some thought. For eg., something like 'soft knees and wrists' at set up and maybe a dynamic 'left arm to chin' as a trigger to start DS. I have these one or two anchor thoughts and have served me well. In fact, my wildest swings are the one where I have no thoughts or if I forget to walk thru my anchor thoughts. In contrast my best rounds are where I am consistent with the anchor thoughts.    OTOH, if I am running my entire half hour lesson (hypothetical) with some pro that I had last Saturday or whatever before every swing then I'm probably in trouble before I even get over the ball.
