Oil Can 260.04 & 256.10
Wedges are tremendusly subjective, very sensitive to a player's swing and sense of feel and rhythm. All season, I played the new Nikes and while I hit many great wedge shots, I also found them to be highly inconsistent from right to left. I expect to miss long or short whe I miss, but not 15 yards right or left. Tried the TM RAC and wasn't impressed, so I bought the Vokeys in the new Oil Can finish. After trial session on the range, I'm hooked. These beauties match my plane of attack nicely and go where I point 'em. Mabe the Feel wedges are as good, but you probably can't go wrong with these if you like a heavier wedge. Even with frozen range balls, I had great feel and distance control. Not sure if the Oil Can finish was the best choice; it'll take a year of playing with them to tell. But already, I feel much more confident with the Vokeys than I ever did with the Nikes. Certainly not the best wedge for everyone, but if you have a smooth tempo and like t feel the head move through the entire swing, the Vokeys should be on your lit to check out, IMO.

300 Series
I have been playing with 300 series Vokeys for more than three years (351.07, 355.13, 359.07) and I can honestly say that these are the best wedges I have ever played. The feel is solid yet soft, the soles are perfectly contoured, and the consistency is fantastic. Unfortunately, the 300 series Vokeys did not sell as well as the 200 series and are being discontinued by Titleist, so grab these while you can. More rounded in appearance than the 200 or 400 series, these wedges appeal to those preferring a more classic, pre-Cleveland look. Although slightly offset, you won't notice that because of the extensive rounded face progression, which I consider to be the most important feature of a wedge. Frankly, most of the wedges being made today do not have enough face progression to be effective from all types of lies and sand conditions, but the 300 series Vokeys do.

I bought the 56, and 60 and overall I would say these are ok but not great. They really are very heavy clubs and sometimes it feels a little weird in your backswing. It also doesn't give me the chance to hit 110 yards with my 56 because of it's weight. The one thing I do like a lot is how much spin these wedges give you, I am really able to spin it back with these. So if you like a lot of weight in your wedges then these are perfect. If not I would reccomend getting the Hogan Wedges on TGW.com they are much lighter and is overall a more balanced wedge.

Vokey Design 254.10
I'm fairly new to golf, so of course I needed something to improve my game. I thought I'd give this wedge a try, after hearing so many good reviews of it on the internet, and soon found it to be worth the purchase. After the few first shots, I knew that it was a great club - It's very accurate and balanced, and it simply feels great on contact with the ball. So if you're new to the game, and are searching for a decent wedge, the Titliest Vokey Design Wegdes definately deserve some looking into. |

Overall this is a really decent club, very versatile. However, it is my belief that the titleist forged series wedges are far better. The used prices between the two is that great either so go ahead spend a few extra bucks and go for the forged wedges. Similar Products Used: Titleist Forged CS 57 Prototype |

being a loyal titleist player i was looking for some new wedges so of course the first option that came to my mind were vokey wedges. i quickly purchased the chrome version and to say the least i was quite dissapointed the feel is harsh and the club seems to sit really upright. for a wedge thats not really a good sign. the upright sitting position leads to a lot of week toe hits and a few shanks tossed into the mix. but the one thing i did appreaciate about the vokey line of wedges is there ease of use. they are nice out of the bunkers and spin unbelievably. they are also quite easily manipulated as the face can be opened easily Customer Service no problems yet Similar Products Used: cleveland wedges are the way to go |

I'm a fairly good golf player, but I tend to miss those long par 4's with the second shot. All I needed were some fine wedges for bunker, fringe, and chipping shots. My short game has always been the best part of my game, so I could save a lot pars from difficult lies. Then, one day, I happened... A pro let me use his irons for a few days (I was looking for new ones) and there were these two shiny wedges in his bag. The irons weren't all that, but those wedges... GODLIKE!! I tried them out for a few days, just to make sure, and rushed the the shop to order two of them! Quickly paid the man, don't think too much about the price, drove to the course and did some short game shots. Just take a Vokey in your hand, and a smile instantly appears on your face, your brain simulates a shot close to the pin and your competitors blood pressure will start to rise. So, concluding: don't think about the price, they're worth every dollar (it also makes them exclusive), put them in your bag, lite a cigar and enjoy the day. Customer Service n/a, they're simply the best Similar Products Used: Mizuno, Nicklaus and Wilson wedges |

I really like the way the 200 series wedges look, and more importantly I feel that I am able to play a lot of different shots with these wedges. I originally owned the 355.13, however transitioned to the 200 series because the wedges had a "sharper" square type look to them as opposed to the "rounder" look of the 300 series. I decided to add a 52 degree to my 54 and 60 so I didn't have to "jump" on wedge shots from 100-110 yrds. These wedges are also fantastic around the greens, and really provide confidence against the thought of chunking a long chip shot. Also very, very good off tight to hard lies.

I love this club. I got it because the grooves of my Wilson R-90 were about shot. I read the reviews here and took a shot. I'm glad I did. I can hit this club with confidence from any lie (hardpan, rough, etc). It just exlodes off of the club face and lands soft. I think that any player could benefit from this club. Try some different ones but don't be surprised if you come back to this baby. Customer Service Not needed yet (knock on wood) Similar Products Used: Wilson R-90, Cleveland |
