In our forums, our members have been discussing Vokey wedges. WRXer ‘JPH’ is a mid-handicapper and kicks off the thread saying:
“Am I the only one who is very inconsistent with Vokey Wedges? I have three that are wonderful during practice but challenging during a round. I’m going to go back to my iron set gap and maybe return to the Cleveland cbx style soon. But honestly, have I bitten off more than I can chew? Thanks.”
And our members have been having been weighing in with their thoughts on the matter in our forum.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- XHoop24: “Mid Handicap here! But play Vokey’s in the 54 and 50. I think it depends on how you use the wedge. On full shots, a set matching gap wedge will likely be more forgiving than, say a 50-degree Vokey. When I’ve tried a Vokey at 50 degrees, I had too many mishits on full shots that ended up short of the green to keep using it. But I’ve kept the 54 and 58 in the bag. I love the turf interaction on pitches, chips, and sand shots with both.”
- philly2kuk: “I’m a 12 and just switched from set gap to vokey gap to match my other wedges. It’s been great; suddenly nearer the pin and can pull off lots of different shots I couldn’t do before. However, if you’ve lost confidence, then it may be worth trying something else to satisfy that itch.”
- Tyler724: “I would guess you may have grinds that are not a good fit for you. I am a mid-capper and could not imagine going to a thicker cavity back wedge for my higher lofts. I play my set A (gap) wedge but use a 54 and 60-degree Vokey with no issues. Play around and find a grind you like and practice as much as you can to get comfortable with it.”
