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.....

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.

      Day 128 12-18 Worked on rotation and getting to lead side. Still working on the flow feeling while doing that. Recorded swings.

      IMO-the only thing entertaining was the relay race. Everything else was excruciatingly boring...or just  stupid, like the 14-club thing. Watching guys blade wedges into the water over and over is not at all interesting.
