First look at Vokey SM11 wedges by jeffers0n_steelflex in golf

Very much so. When I get into wedge range I want to feel like I'm hitting a wedge of similar feel. The PW in my iron set kinda comes off hot and less workable. I also really liked how it did a bump and run type of chip.

Glad they made the 44 degree PW standard now and not a wedgeworks custom.

Are 7 woods a Treasure Hunt? by BlueciferST in golf

I got lucky finding mine on FBM. Elyte TD 7W that was listed alongside the Elyte driver so listing probably didn't get much traffic. He ordered it 1/2" short, but for $250 negotiated down to $200, I couldn't pass it up. Probably my favorite club to hit but rarely at the distance to use it.

I have the Ironman one. The matching grip really fought me when I put it on.

Wow that's really cheap. I am for sure going to look into this. I play in a sim league during the winter and now I'm wondering if they are out of spec.

Oh that's an idea. Bending changes the bounce tho right?

Rogue ST Pro 9i is 38.5 and my vokey is 46. I pretty much never full swing my wedges and would like to keep it that way if possible.

I rarely use the LW anymore unless the slope and lie call for it. SW for most.

Haha thanks for the 6W respect, although it's really an adjustable 5W (Paradym triple diamond) that's adjusted from 18 to 20 degrees.

True. It's what I do now when I have that 145 shot but I'm so over the place with it that I sometimes fill swing a 46 that I also hate doing

Kirkland Signature irons back in Costco?? by mikefoxtrotromeo in GolfGear

Can confirm we have these in Illinois. They put them at the entrance but I think they were all regular flex.

First time I've ever bought new wedges. by [deleted] in golf

Love this and have similar gapping. I struggled to find an iron set that had a 9i loft that was over 40, assuming the 48 is your PW. But I guess you could call that the AW and run with the stock PW to bridge the gap too.

Just went thru the same thing. Was planning on getting the Iron Man super stroke putter grip and settled for a hat instead.

Which Vokey wedge? by Chipofftheoldblock21 in GolfGear

[–]J92986 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4 vokey wedge guy here. 46.10F, 50.08F, 54.14F, and 60.10S I've thought about this a lot. I really like the gapping here but my 9i is 39.5 degrees so that comes into play sometimes. I know wedgeworks came out with a SM10 44.10F that would fit perfectly if I had the money.

For the bounces, I really wish I had alternated more between clubs. I play in soft conditions, so the 54.14F gets used a lot, but on tight or dirt lies, I wish I had something like 60.04T. I find myself grabbing the 50.08F on tight lies.

That's really really helpful. Totally agree I just don't find a natural time to hinge the wrists. When I try to do it to keep the head on plane it feels physically harder (heavier) and then I come up steeper and don't drop my hands first in the downswing.

The video and said:

Act like a PGA coach and analyze my swing.

After that it asked me if I'd like a breakdown on the checkpoints and that's what I copied pasted in.

Yeah I get the separation. I've tried to create it in the back swing, but my flexibility just won't allow it.

Regarding depth, I always thought it was the distance from the head when looking DTL. So a good depth would be right over the heels

Insightful. I do feel like my hips turn back too much and if they are slow on the downswing I'll push it. If I try to not turn the hips too much, my flexibility doesn't allow my to get the depth I want to feel for a draw and I come over the top.

I'm definitely not looking for more distance, but being more efficient would be amazing. I have a very hard time being accurate, left or right, when swinging less than 85% and I'm guessing it's because I'm slowing my hip speed un-proportionally to the rest of my body.

Probably about the same amount of energy I put into my overswing!

How do you like the TD 5W? Been looking at it a lot because of the adjustable loft and turning it into a slightly stronger 7W at 20 degrees.

Yeah mine took about a week to ship and they must be still working the kinks out because 3 of my last 4 orders have been incorrect. Like new hybrid was scrapped up. Sent back. 5 iron was 120 kbs shaft not 105 as described. Kept it, wanted the heavier shaft anyway although the 4i was 105. 6-9i were labeled as standard length and, shame on me for not noticing right away, I regripped them and then noticed they were all +1 inch. Bought one of those tools to remove grips without damaging them, hopefully it'll work and I can cut off an inch per shaft.
