Vokey 60* Oil Can Spin Milled
Great wedge. Picked it up last summer and I have had nothing but a great experience with it. I used to not be able to hit a lob wedge, but this one made me want to practice with it all the time. I have much better control with my wedges now, especially with the 60*.

These are remarkable wedges. I didn't want the Spin Milled because, as has been mentioned previously, they will chew up soft-cover balls in a hurry. Even so, the standard series spins quite enough for most purposes. I use the 54 and 60 degree. The number of loft/bounce combinations is nice--you can really get the right wedge(s) for YOU. The narrow sole on the 54 makes it a great go-to club from dicey lies around the green, and the wide sole on the 60 makes it a nice fairway club for soft lobs, and in the higher bounce configurations (mine has 8 degrees of bounce), it works surprisingly well out of those deep bunkers where you need a really high ball flight to get up and out.

The performance of Vokey wedges are second to none(I like the non spin milled version, since I've found the spin milled chews up balls too much). If appearance is important to you I would steer clear of the oil can version, since the pretty oil can finish wears off almost instantly. Both Tour Chrome and Oil Can perform superbly, though.

Money. If you like to score, these are money. They look stunning and spin even better. Confidence-inspiring, they make you want to practice. I wouldn't trade these vokeys for any other wedges. They just look better and better as time goes on. You have to love your wedges and these are a good start. Customer Service N/A Similar Products Used: Cleveland, TaylorMade TP |

Titleist Vokey Oil Can 58/08
This club has been money from the first swing. It displaced my TaylorMade sand wedge and I'm probably going to can my 60deg and opt for a Vokey 54/08. I can stop or run the ball on chips and pitches stop dead or back up slightly. I am not spinning it enough to get the excessive back ups that some report. I use Hogan Tour Deep balls, notoriously "soft" skinned, and am not damaging the covers with this club. I mostly run across pretty firrm bunkers so the 8deg bounce is just fine. If I were to play some fluffy bunkers, I'd probably swap my TaylorMade SW back into the bag. I'd still have the Vokey in there, though. It's a great wedge and worth the money if you're interested in extra control in the short game. Customer Service N/A Similar Products Used: TaylorMade RAC 60deg |

Vokey Oil Can
I never really understood how much spin I got with the Vokey Oils until i toyed around with my buddies' Cleveland gunmetal and another random Callaway wedge. I went about 2 years with the only wedge I hit was my trusty oils. These Vokeys give ya lotsa stopping power, crazy spin. The real rust doesnt set in for at least a season. And I play a lot of golf. Once the rust is good and established, you'll really feel the grooves grab, its quite a nice feeling. I use the 52 and 56- the 52 for runners or low rolling pitches, and the 56 for floppers and sensitive downhillers and the beach. They all do the job just fine. I don't use them for full shots, for full swings I use g5s, which are more iron-like and easier to put a full move on. I don't mind it since I've practices so much with them, but some buddies complain they'd want less bounce on their gap. |

Vokey Oil Can 56* Wedge
I picked up a used 56* off ebay for cheap($40-50) and absolutely love it. These are the softest best feeling wedges out there, anytime I pull it out of the bag there is a great chance it is gonna be close. I have played probably 6 rounds with it ad it is now starting to get rusty which means it really grabs the ball now. I picked up a raw steel 60* lob wedge to go with it and it is just as deadly. I plan on getting a 50* or 52* to complete the set, if you need help with your chipping and wedge play get a vokey and look for your scores to go down. Customer Service Not needed |

Titleist 58-degree Volkey "Oil Can" wedge
I'm just a beginner, but I've already been through several wedges, none of which felt right to me. When I first started using this one, I thought it would be the same, but all I needed was time. I agree with other reviewers who say it's not a very forgiving club, but the more you work with it, the better it all gets. Good example: I was way downslope from a tough elevated green the other day and really had to get the ball in the air. I also had a bunker between my ball and the hole. I may not have felt confident enough to take it straight up over the sand, but I did feel like I might be able to aim right of it but give the ball enough left spin that it would flow back to the hole if I could just get it onto the green. The shot happened just as I had planned it. My brother was on the green already and was standing up there, looking down at me. When he saw my shot, he couldn't believe it. He knows I'm a much better player with my short irons than with my wedges, and the precision he saw on this one really surprised me. I'm so impressed with this club that I've ordered a matching sand wedge to go with the lob. I think I'll stick with my existing PW for right now, but from now on my SW and LW are these Volkeys. And I love the finish, too. The "oil can" look already has worn off the sole of my LW, the way it's supposed to, and the appearance of that part of the club now reminds me of pewter. Great looks, yeah, but the best part is great feel. |
