So I've been debating some new wedges for a few months, as my sand was a generic clubhead on a crap shaft, and I don't have a gap wedge. So after much deliberating and club evaluation, I went with the 52-8 Vokey Oil Can, and the 56-14 Spin Milled Vokey. Gorgeous clubs, soft, easy to get the ball up, etc.

So what happens? I have my first playoff game of the baseball season (Adult baseball, www.pssbl.com ) last night, and tear open my right hand on the soft skin between the thumb and index finger. Probably no golf for at least two weeks. :( :( Major bummer man. Now I can't even practice with the new clubs :P.

Just had to share my joy and pain.

I know your feeling. I bought all new clubs this year and i was playing the best golf I've played since freshman year high school, and i get in a car accident and develop some complications. Almost 2 months this year i could not play.

Just brush on some

New Skin and get out there and play!! Are the Vokey wedges heavier than others? I picked one up today and the clubhead felt noticably heavy. I use Ping i3 wedges. Is there an advantage to playing a heavier wedge? Maybe it gets through the rough and sand easier?

I can't actually tell you if the wedges feel heavier. I'm not quite good enough to really tell yet... Although in my last two 9s I've shot 7 and 4 over respectively, and had my first tap in birdie...

    • Day 8 - Full swings with my 3H. One of my more consistent clubs, but the sim numbers weren’t good. 
    • Day 260: range session. Worked on my wrist stuff, while still keeping the weight shift stuff. Hit a lot of pull hooks. 
    • Nah. I'll take eyes 2" inside the ball rather than directly over the ball. No good putters have their eyes outside the ball that I've ever seen. Few are over the ball. Almost all are inside somewhere. And the OP said "at least 0.5"."
    • 0.5" inside? Seriously, the ball is just over 2" so .5" inside is only 1.5" from dead center...thats close enough for most people to call it "eyes over the ball". I see people at courses 6" plus inside the ball or even worse, their heads may be over their shoes. That's what you don't want anyone to do. .5" inside for all practicable purposes is over the ball.
    • I used to have a re-gripping issue that caused hooks. The re-gripping happens at the top of the backswing usually in an attempt to get the shaft more horizontal. The solution is simple though. The last three fingers of your lead hand must grip the club firmly through the backswing and at the top. You cannot "relax them" or let them loosen at the top. If you're trying to get to parallel you need to do it with more rotation and not loosening the grip. Anytime you loosen those three fingers at the top, you will ALWAYS regrip the club into a hooded position. Sometimes that's the only fix you need. I would at least try that before trying to rehab your swing.
