i am looking to get a Titleist Vokey wedge up at Golf Galaxy. I am going to trade my Lynx 60* and my Adams SW(56*?). The question is.........which Vokey wedge should I get? I was thinking of getting another 56*. I never really used either of them too much because they were both so heavy. I have been chipping around the greens with my PW. What do y'all think?

Driver:TaylorMade R580 XD Stiff
3 Wood:Wilson FY-brid 15*
Hybrid:Adams A3 Boxer # 3
Irons:Titleist Square Toe 4
Irons:Callaway X-20 5-PWWedges:Adams Tight Lies GT SWPutter: Ping Anser 2Ball: Wilson Ultra or Precept Lady IQ180 or Bridgestone e6+

Well if you aren't sure if you want a lob or sand wedge, you could just get like a 58*, but although I don't carry a 56* at the moment I have in the past and I can make it work as a gap wedge, lob wedge, and a sande wedge. And seeing your handicap I would go with a sand wedge because as most f the people here will say is a lob wedge takes ALOT of practice to make it work. Good luck with finding a wedge you like.

Here's what I play:

Titleist 907 D2 10.5* UST ProForce V2 76-S | Titleist 906F4 18.5* Aldila VS Proto "By You" 80-S | Titleist 585H 21* Aldila VS Proto "By You" 80-S | Titleist ZB 4-PW TTDG S300 | Bob Vokey Spin Milled Oil Can 54.10 | Bob Vokey Spin Milled Oil Can 60.08 | Scotty Cameron Red X5 33" |

First of all, you can't go wrong with Titleist Vokey wedges. Second, I recommend you get the Spin Milled version. You can get any degrees you want either 56, 58 or 60. It's all about your preference and your type of play.

Yes, wedges are heavy because they're for control not distance. I have Vokey SM60.08 in my bag now and they feel great. Moreover, I'm looking forward to purchase the SM56.10, but unfortunately my favorite pro shop doesn't have the 10 deg bounce in stock and I have to wait for them to reorder. I have a hunch that you're just starting out to play golf and that's why you said wedges are heavy (also your 30 handicap). They don't when you're used to it, which means you'll build up the strength as you go on with the game. When you're ready to buy new wedge you'll have to know what high/med/low bounce is. You can go to this site . Basically, know the type of your swing and choose the proper bounce so you don't dig too deep or not at all (knifing the ball). Hope this helps.
What's in the bag:

Wedges: Vokey Oil Can 252.08, SM56.10 & SM60.08Putter: Marxman Mallet 33"

They also have a 54 degree

    • Day 11, 1/11/26.  Today was putting, along about 6' of carpet, with coins on the ground to keep me cognizant of what I'm doing.  I think this is the at-home drill from LSW. (Ugh, missed two of the last four days -- 1/10 and 1/8)
    • Day 9: 2026.01.11 Hit some balls at the range, concentrating on weight distribution at address, got some on film.
    • Day 468 - 2026-01-11 Loooooong day. Did some work in the patio door (as a mirror) when I got home.
    • I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
