What is the mark up for Vokey wedges? Does the pro shop make any cash on these or is it just minimal return. I tried talking to two of the pros in this area about ordering clubs and neither returned with any info on the pricing. Although it is not uncommon for that to occur around here, it still seems like they would want to make some money.

There is a mark up average is 35% give or take. Even on ping we get our pro price. Then blue orange price scale and mark down scale. Ping is by far hardest to discount. Feel free to email or pm me if I can help.

well considering, my home course has a bunch of Vokey's marked down to 79.99$.....i'd say the mark up is pretty good....

i doubt they are protesting them lol.... I think they do this at the end of every season...   but yea i snagged a 56-11....

bad part was it was no joke two days after i bought two Vokeys at a Golf Galaxy... and they were not 79$ lol.....   basically the story is. i happened to stop in to GG just to get a brush for my irons, and I asked one of the guys why they dont make a low bounce 56 wedge...  and he's like yea, idk they are kind of rare, since most of them are 11bounce to 14 bounce....  and then he pauses and says oh yea we have 1 right here... its the last one we have...  a 56-8 Vokey.....

And then I see a 60-4 vokey, and pick them both up and turn a 6$ buy into a 270$ buy.... and i was seriously about 2 seconds from just heading to the counter and leaving, since it was about 5mins from closing time too.....   if i would of waited, i could of picked up all three wedges for less than what the two wedges cost.....

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Went back to controlling my knees. That part was getting a bit sloppy when I worked on my backswing. Right hip didn't slide or gain internal rotation. I would just rotate back and around and the left knee would be in a bad spot. Really focusing now on keeping my left knee very stable and straighter in the backswing. I can't go back to the old pattern of overturning the hips. I was returning to my old pattern to time my downswing. Turn forever.  Left knee controls both knees and hips, acting as an anchor. Feel like it straightens a bit.   Hinge sooner and faster. Not in a way that sends the hands out and flips the club over. I still noticed when the hands get to A2.5, the hands would want to flip over and flatten the club out a ton.  Still trying to figure out how to roll the forearms a bit open and not just roll the club inside a ton.  Figure out the timing to get the hands down. Still getting a bit of right elbow collapsing in the downswing because the arms are too high when I turn. Everything is happening sooner now. If the hips are controlled, the backswing is shortened. Because it is shortened I don't know when to get the hands down and I just turn because the downswing is a go.  Very slow (50%) swings are decent.
