Here are Master Craftsman Bob Vokey's answers to four more of the nearly 1,000 questions asked by members of Team Titleist and Vokey Nation last week.
There's a lot of great insight here from "The Voke" – who will also be doing a live webcast on Tuesday, Nov. 16, at 6 p.m. EST (3 p.m. PST), with our friends over at GolfWRX – so be sure to study up.
Tomorrow morning, we will be posting Bob's answers to the final three questions. (If you missed Bob's answers to the first three questions, click here.) Stay tuned!
Mike T. of Baltimore, Maryland, asks...Mr. Vokey, could you explain your choice of preferring a soft cast metal for your wedges as opposed to a forging? I've always been pleased with the great feel of Titleist wedges, but could they be even better with a forged head?
Chris S. of Milton, Ga., asks…What do you think is the most costly mistake that amateurs make when selecting their wedges?

Dale G. of Edmond, Okla., asks...I am a slider and rarely take a divot. I am wondering, are my shots as effective as someone who has taken a large divot? I feel as though I am compressing the ball, but is the ball reacting the same off my slider wedge as someone who takes a rather large divot?
Josh P. of Saratoga, Calif., asks…Since I first started using your wedges I have always wondered this question: Have you ever considered making a set of Vokey Irons, not just wedges but a whole 3-PW set?

Really enjoying Bob's answer. Great questions get the attention of the master craftsman himself and his answers are on the money.

I bought 2 new spin milled wedges ( 52 & 58) to have available with the groove changes and noticed they are 1/2 shorter than my current Vokey wedges. Is this intentional? and why?

Play mostly where sand bunkers are hard packed sand. What bounce specification do you recommend please to suit .
Have been using a 60 degree lob wedge for short greenside bunkers and not opening the face (as common with a 56 degree sand wedge)and results good when sand soft.
