I believe the Vokey Spin milled is the best wedge around.
Customer Service NA Similar Products Used: Too many. The Cleveland 588 originals are very good wedges too. My SW is an old Eye2 square groove. The old Nickents are great for those with no buckaroos. |

Great wedge! Lots of spin. Easy to align and use around the green. I have the Oil Can finish which is pleasing to the eye. Also had a custom S flex graphite shaft put on. Lovin the feel. Gonna replace all my wedges (I carry 4) with these eventually. Cost is the only prohibitor. At approx $125.00 per wedge, it can be a budget buster for the weekend player. |

Vokey SM 58 degree
Never thought I'd give up my super-soft Mizuno forged MP wedges, but the Vokeys knocked them out of the bag. The milling on the face grabs the ball and imparts a fantastic spin. My shots either land dead and stop or back up, and the distance control is almost as great as the Mizunos. Be sure to get yourself fit professionally for all clubs, but especially in the scoring clubs. Make sure they match your lie angle and you'll be deadly from 115 yards in.

Best wedge ever. If its spin your looking for look no further and the titleist spin milled wedge. Sure the price is a little high but you do get what you pay for. IF your looking for a new wedge give titleist a look |

As we all know it is tough to go wrong with Titleist or Cleveland wedges, they are pretty much as good as it gets. I picked up a Spin Milled 58.8 and 54.10 with Spinner shafts, previously I was playing Cleveland CG 10s with True Temper shafts. I prefer the Vokeys to the Clevelands for the followinbg reasons: Feel: The Vokeys felt a little heavier and more controllable. Weight: As a heavier club it felt like chipping backswings were smaller and hence allowed for more finesse. Grind: I had a little of the flange ground off but even the stock grind had negative camber and a relieved heel that made the club easier to open up and almost impossible to catch heavy. Leading Edge: I had forgotten that the straight edge of the Vokeys make aiming the face easier and more instinctive. The only negatives where as follows, I suppose I do not have the game to percieve the benefit of spinner shafts relative to the stock True Temper shafts, the Spinner shafts did lower the ball flight but put a touch of side spin on the ball and no more topspin than the Dynamic golds. Relative to the CG 10s the Clevelands did not inspire the same confidence when opened up (thicker sole and more rounded leading edge,) however the Clevelands felt a touch more solid at impact. Both great clubs with subtle differences that are a matter of personal preference.

I tried Cleveland CG10's and came back to Vokey wedges. No contest in my mind, these are a much better wedge for me. I have a 54 degree (not spinmilled) and the 58, which is spin milled. Given the way this wedge works, I am afraid full shots from the fairway with the 54 would result in too much spin! I would rather, on longer shots from the fairway, land the ball dead or with a minimum amount of spin, hence the 54 that isn't spin milled. This wedge I use for greenside/shorter shots and sometimes out of the sand. Spin milling is NOT hype. I played this last weekend and hit a shot from the rough (bermuda) about 3 inches deep, ball sitting down, about 20 yards to the hole and it was literally like throwing a dart! It landed a foot from the hole and stuck, and no, they weren't soft greens! Same round I missed an approach shot left and hit a 40 yard pitch from a bare dirt lie. The ball landed, jumped forward about a foot and spun back about 3 feet. From 40 yards! I have found, for me, the combination of a 54/58 works well, and that leaving my 54 as a Vokey non spinmilled and my lob wedge as spinmilled is an ideal combination. Customer Service Always had good service from Titleist, although they are slow to respond sometimes. Similar Products Used: Cleveland |

picked up one of these a few weeks back, impulse buy in all honesty (tax refund), I thought the 'spin milling' thing was a marketing persons latest idea to sell the same wedge and after a bit of use I'd say thats probably not too far from the truth. I'd say you only get true performance out of these if you play a decent ball, this is true of any wedge but distance balls will get shredded by this thing. That would probably be true of any of the other 'player' wedges but this one - particularly so. got it bent upright by a couple of degrees and it sits quite nicely behind the ball. I don't like too much bounce on wedges and 8 degrees is about my limit. It's a nice weight, looks good but as always, results depend largely on the ball you play and you need to find something that doesn't just get scuffed; it's just my opinion but I always think that excessive scuffing is just a sign that the ball is spinning less than it should/could. including regripping and lie alterations this cost £80 which is on the steep side but kind of okay for a custom fit. Customer Service silvermere gc club repair shop, £5 to regrip and bend to correct lie (in 5 minutes); Bargain. Similar Products Used: cleveland 588, 900; ping IST |
