With so many available, is it just look and feel?? Is Titleist  as superior as we are led to believe? Currently searching for new wedges...would appreciate your pros and cons...how bout the Cleveland RTX ?

I always played Cleavland wedges, but I switched to Titleist Vokey SM 4's. My reason, I like the looks of the Vokey's and the feel of them compared to the others. It's pretty much a personal thing. Also there are a few threads re: wedges, you might do a search and see if you can't find more info. as there are many good wedges out there.

I like the looks of the Ping Eye2 wedges with sharper toplines.

It use to be that I didnt carry a SW or LW cause I didnt play in any courses with sand and would just open my GW to play shots that need SW.

Now I playing in really tough courses and learned to use the 60 wedge and prefer a 54 for wedge shots around the green.

Vokey's felt the best compared to all the other name brands I hit ar golfsmith. I think if I were to get a new wedge I'd go get fit for edel's. Everyone on this site has nothing but good things to say about them and I think its cool how you can customize the logo.

      Day 27 - 2026-01-16 Played 18 with some of the usual "too many voices" going on when I'm working on swing stuff. Fun to get out in great bay area winter weather.

      I know one recent college grad who's trying the same thing.  This guy was a Division III All-American, went on to play one year at Division I LSU, and is not working hard.  He won the Gulf States Open, a pro event, and made it to the second stage of the Korn Ferry Tour School late in the fall.  And didn't make the cut to get to the final stage.  I won't talk about swing or play stuff, but I believe there are a couple of things that are essential.  Obviously, talent, and drive, or work ethic.   I can't tell you how to do it, but you HAVE to get through it.  Golf is going to be your life, and it takes lots of work. Two more things that are really critical.  You'll need the facility to be able to practice.  My young friend stayed in Baton Rouge, as a past player on the team he can still use the LSU practice facilities.  And money.  Its unlikely you'll be able to work a full-time job and practice the way you will need to.  You'll probably need backing, from a parent, from a consortium of friends or club members., something to support you. Good luck, its not an easy path, but anything is possible.  Another young man from our area, Mike Brennan, just won for the first time on the "big" PGA Tour.

      Get more comfortable with being uncomfortable. If you don’t like practicing then give up now. You don’t have the passion to become a pro. Unless that mentality changes you won’t do well under stressful situations.    Call the PGA Tour and ask. They probably have resources available.
