CG 14 or Vockey?

[eirvev]

Hey folks!

I am thiking off buying some new wedges. But I can't decide which one.I have read some reviews about the vockey spin milled, and it seems good. Today I have only one wedge (Cleveland 588 tour action gun metal 56*), but unfortunately I can't find it in other degrees then 60 and 56.

Anyway, my question is: Should I buy the CG 14 or the Vockey?

I'm also wondering which degrees I should buy.

Wedge A: 46*(only CG 14), 48* 50*

Wedge B: 50* 52* 54*

Wedge C: 54* 56* 58

Wedge D: 58* 60*

Today my pitch (Taylormade Rac OS2) is 45 degree.. Should I keep it and buy three "real" wedges, or should I change it with a fourth "real" wedge (46 degree)

I hope somebody can help me!

Depends on your needs. Vokey if you're a good player who can control the ball well but need the extra spin which these wedges provide. CG 14 is more forgiving but has less feel and control on full shots. Easy to hit though and very easy on the hands too. Shot dispersion is tight and spin is satisfactory.

588 is a good model for SW. If you're having trouble with it, you should check if the bounce of the club is suitable for the conditions of your course, particularly the type of sand in the bunkers. Rule of thumb is tight lies, less than 10 bounce. Fluffy lie, 10 or higher bounce.

If the PW is integrated into your set, then you're better off sticking with it because it will lessen the need to adjust yardages. Most set designers try to adjust the lofts of the clubs in their set in such a way that their is a natural progression of length from their lowest lofted clubs to the highest lofted. If you drop the RAC to pick up a Vokey or CG 14, the club head will be of a different design from the rest of your set. This might result in a serious yardage gap between your 9I and PW.

The gap between PW and GW/AW is not as serious because you are normally close enough that accuracy, rather than length, is the primary concern.

Considering you already have a 45 and a 56, a 50 and a 60 should round out your set nicely. Although they will be different models, the yardage variances shouldn't be too great.

Hope this helps. I was lucky enough to get to try out Vokeys on the course and I love them but Titleist wedges require a lot of practice because they offer so much maneuverability and are very demanding. CG 14 test was done in a simulator.

I think I will buy a titleist tour chrome wedge 50 degree, and two Vokey spin: 54 and 58 degree. I think I should have high bounce on the high-degree wedge, and less on the 50 and 54 degree.

I can still use my 588 as a "extra club" when I play on short Norwegian woodcourses:P Then the need of more wedges is bigger then playing with three woods or hybrids.

Thanks for the help
