Bob Vokey Personalised Wedges

When it came to ordering wedges a year ago I was faced with a few dilemmas from what is a big decision.  Do I go back to the trusted Clevelands which had always served me so well over the years? Do I look at the new wedges from existing brands on the market, Taylormade, Nike or Callaway or do I go with the Titleist option, the Bob Vokey?

Titleist talk up Bob Vokey as the "Master", as probably Cleveland do and now Callaway with Roger Cleveland. I tried them all at my club, I was lucky that every manufacturer turns up on the one day... Great for members as it's very hard to try all the options. After hitting a few, I soon settled in the Titleist Vokey 56 and 60 degree TVD design as they just seemed so crisp off the ground. The rep mentioned personalising them and showed me his. Immediately I was sold and it's not as expensive as you think. At the time they were $215 per iron. Not only is it a great design but with the personalisation they become my wedges, no one else's.



These wedges are amazing. I play off alot of mixed lies, tight and grassy and they perform extremely well. They are balanced and are fantastic in bunkers. They have also worn well and although they are starting to show their age, they continue to look great. I get a lot of comments about them and people just love he look. 

All Vokey wedges are cast. I know a lot of companies are starting to launch forged wedges, personally I have tried a fair majority of them all and unless you are a professional golfer, I believe you would struggle to pick the difference. Also if you a concerned about cost effectiveness, you will pick the cast as they will last longer. 

A lot of pro's use Vokey and I can see why. They work well on most ground and with all the new grinds with the SM5 there is no excuse that you cannot find a wedge that suits you or where you play. I love these and willl find it hard when they need replacing.
