Im in need of a 52 degree gap wedge and I'm split between Cleveland and vokey. Suggestions?

Edel ;)

What brand of clubs do you use? You might get a gap wedge from them that is actually the make and model of your irons.

I have Cleveland irons but wouldn't mind get vokeys AT ALL so whatever will help my game more will be the one I pick up

If you can demo, see which one goes through the turf and escapes it easily with your swing

Agree with posters. Went back and acquired the AW to match set and close gap. Have mixed bag of 4 wedges to 64*/12 just used for specific shot I LIKE to hit. Cleveland I use the most and like it's set up.

I asdmire the Vokey line for its technical achievements and wide variety of wedge grinds, bounces and lofts. But, I have never liked the feel of them - always seemed too light in the head.

I like both Cleveland and Callaway, and currently use  Cleveland CG14s for the G, S, and L.

Wedges, like putters can be extremely personal. I've played both. Clevelands feel too firm for me. But again, everyone is different and from a quality standpoint, neither is better. Try 'em both and pick what feels/looks best to you.

For me, its Vokey.  Clevelands are nice but I find them to be too head heavy.  Vokeys seem to have a much nicer balance, for me.

I like my Volkey's  ( all 3 of them ) ......  i had a 52 cleveland 588.... and it too felt very heavy in the club head...  i find the Volkey's are more balanced and i can swing it easier.... '

but i traded off my cleveland and got a 50* / 8 Volkey and like it a lot better......

It is what it is

I carry both a Cleveland 56* and a Vokey 60*! Had a 62* Cleveland as well, but dropped that when I was given the 60* Vokey. No preference over one or the other. I also agree that looking to see if your iron set has an individual gap wedge for the set would be a good idea. Love my iron matched gap wedge!

    • Best drive I've ever hit: I will not be answering any questions about the rest of the hole. Or the round, for that matter.
    • I tried hybrids way back when TaylorMade introduced the copper orange Firesole Rescue, the clubhead having been made of titanium which was still relatively new even in drivers back then. I couldn't hit it well at all, and while the success of hybrids suggests that the modern ones must be quite good,  I'm perfectly happy with the 5, 7, and 9-woods.  Early ones of mine were Top Flite Intimidator 400s made by Spalding... and also made of titanium, now that I think of it.  I still have them in my basement. I do bag a driving iron, but it's a one-trick-pony that never sees fairway use.    
    • The last time I played Maxfli balls, Dunlop was still making them. How long ago was that? Mostly, though, I used to play Top Flites (original 336 dimple model) when Spalding was still making them. Now I play the Pro V1x. Last time that I ordered some, Titleist was still making them. Let's see how long that lasts.
    • Once, on a course in Middleton, Massachusetts that I used to love but has since closed down,  I hit the wrong half of a huge, UK style double green.  Then I made the hundred foot putt.  Tough to  forget that one.
