If you are a golfer like me, you will have watched in amazement when watching the pros around the greens, in what look likes thick rough, just flop the ball out and put it within a couple of feet of the flag.
Well the trick to this shot is to use your most lofted club and literally let the loft of the club get the ball in the air and land it softly on the green with plenty of control. The Titleist Vokey 60 degree lob web is ideal for playing this kind of shot.
I like to think my short has always been above average, however since buying the Vokey lob wedge it has improved to a very high level considering I play of an 11 handicap. I own the oilcan finish with 4 degree angle of bounce. For information, the abgle of bounce is the angle formed by the leading edge of the clubhead and the ground. This angle reduces the club digging under ...
Advantages: Looks goos, Feels great and spins loads Disadvantages: None
Th Titleist Vokey Spin Milled is one of the best wedges on the market. The original design by Bob Vokey has not been changed much for years.
The wedge comes in a full range of lofts from 64" - 48" with all types of bounce on it. The wedge is cut using a CAD maching and has about 30% more groove area than conventional wedges so there is more space for the ball to deform in to. The edges of the grooves are more defined and 'sharper' so the friction produced is greater therefore putting more spin on the ball.
I personally have a 58" and I love it. It is an oilcan which i think looks better although it has been proven that rust has no noticable affect on the spin rate of the ball. With the oilcan it must be cleaned well after use as the dirt and moitsure will make it rust loads. It spins so much as long as the grooves are clean ...
Advantages: Feel, Price, Looks, Durability. Everything top notch! Disadvantages: N/a
The raw version of this wedge is designed to rust and wear over time, the more you use it the better it gets effectively. What an excuse to get out and play that is. From 100 yards and in this club does exactly what its supposed to do.
Dependant on personal preferance, titleist have a range of loft and bounce options available for this range of wedges. They also have different styles of the vokeys available, they have oilcan, raw and steel. The difference been, the steel is a standard club, the raw is designed to rust and the oilcan is treated with oil to aid the performance, personally I recommend an investment of all three, just for the variety of the options, through pw, sw and lw and also for consistency of the vokey, the unique feel and responsiveness is consistent through its wedge range. It can also be tailored to players ...
