All,
I have been playing vokey wedges for years and I have always believed they were a superior product. Over the last year I have been making small swing changes and my lack of distance control and miss ratio was increasing as my overall game was improving. I reached out to Vokey on twitter and decided it was time to get a complete fitting and a new set of wedges. They directed me to @kyle_Clubfitter who is in the DFW area where I was working at the time. He set up the trackman and I went over my problems I am having. He looked over my current gear and first off my wedges were all way over standard length (i am a tall guy but my golfsmith must have gotten a bit carried away). I started off hitting the SM4 and I was still taking to large of a divot and we switch to the TVD's. We noticed a change immediatly, we went to the practice green and continued to hit a various different types of shots.
The Vokey TVD M grind worked the best for my swing. After deciding on what head to use we went back to the range to decided on the shaft I prefer. After hitting the DG and KBS shafts, we decided on the DG S400 shaft. Kyle called wedgewerks to have the built and shipped to my location. I had a tourney that coming weekend and we asked if we could get a rush order and two day shipping. Vokey worked with us and I recieved them in time. They went immediatly into my bag with a few hours of practice fine tuning my distance control. When your hitting 6 for 6 from 80 yards all within very makeable birdie puts, you cannot have any complaints.
I was able to win the small north texas tourney and I couldnt be happier with the control the wedges have given my game. Even if you are a diehard vokey loyalist take the time to get a full fitting. Not everyone will fit the readily avaible SM4 you might be like me and the TDV works the best for my game. I could have easily walked into a major retailer and hit off their mats and I would have never known how the club would react on the real turf. I almost made that mistake , Take the time!'
And they look Great!
Looking forward to the rest of the season!
