Bob, I'm a big Dave Pelz fan and use his 3 X 4 system emphatically from 120 yards in and bounce is a big issue with me. Can you explain what is the best bounce in some detail as far as from the fairway as compared to out of the rough...tight lies compared to thick lies?

I get this question frequently; If I want to buy a 60 degree wedge that will serve me equally well from the fairway or bunker how much bounce should I have? thanks.

Hi Bob Vokey, I was wonder which bounce is good for hard ground golf course where I play mostly of the time. Since I am left hand golfer, who play with alot of wredge games. I have 52 ,56 spin mill,60 spin mill and also have 64 spin mill wedge, I only use the 64 loft when i play on Pete Dye or P.B . Dye golf course. I only bought the left wedge with only bounce that you have. I know there are you type of golfer are digger or slider. I play either way whatever the ball laid down.
Thank You, Ron Harvey

Hey Bob,
I'm a 13 year old golfer with an 11 handicap but I want to work in the golf club processing business if I don't go pro. Golf is a great sport and I want to be involved with it any way I can so I was wondering how you got into making clubs and now being one of the most well-known and respected club makers there are.

HI Bob, I just ordered a new set of irons and will be purchasing some wedges very soon. This will be the last set of irons I will ever buy and are custom fit, length, lie etc. How important is it to buy wedges that are also custom fit? The pitching wedge in the set is 46 deg, 1 deg flat. What wedges should I order "thinking three" as to how much bounce and what loft?

What is the relative importance of the surface finish on the face of a wedge compared to the grooves in the face?

Hello Mr. Vokey,
First of all I would like to say I LOVE the wedges. My question for you is what type of work do you do with the pros from a week to week basis? Is it more of getting feedback? or are you fitting them for awesome new wedges? Secondly what has inspired you to pursue wedgeworks?

why the differences in sand wedge soles.. .how can you determine which degree of bounce you need on your sand wedge ?

Dear Mr. Vokey,
First off love your wedges, just bought a new 52 and 56 for the season! My question is when you bend a wedge a degree strong or weak what other changes besides loft happen to the wedge? Does the bounce change at all or leading edge or anything?
Thank You

The heel of my wedge tends to dig into the turf causing a pulled shot. Is there a sole grind that can minimize this ?

Hey Voke! Your spin-milled wedges are costing me a lot of money with balls that get 'sheared' and unplayable after one nice swing :-( Is this normal? How do the pros deal with the shearing problem?

Mr. Vokey .... a bounce question for you ..... I am using two SM wedges now 52/08 and 58/08 and I use the 58 mostly for bunker shots now. I feel the 58 is a great mix between sand and lob, but the bounce is a bit thight if I come in too steep in the bunker, no problem when the sand is a bit wet or firm, but when it is fluffy it maybe is a bit to less ...... are you planning a 10* bounce 58 or should a just learn to get into a flatter bunkerswing ?

What is the primary difference between the black nickel or tour chrome wedges and your oil can wedges and what are the advantages of each. And do you personally have something to do with each wedge that is made?

Hi Vokey. I was just wanting to know, what is the difference between Titleist wedges and all the other companies' wedges? What makes the Vokey wedges stand out from the huge crowd of wedges like laser milled grooves?

Bob i am a 4.9 index and play the Titleist Vokey TVD 54 & 60. They fit me perfect & was wondering what is the stadard bounce on these wedges? There was never a choice for chosing bounce & want to know for future purchase of the only wedge to play, "Titleist Vokey's"
Best,
John A.

Hi Bob, on www.vokey.com you reference 'diggers' and 'sliders' as a way of describing the two primary types of wedge players. Could you offer a suggestion as to how I could determine whether I'm a digger or a slider?
Thanks,
Mike M

I have been fitted by a Titleist trained club-fitter. He has told me about a special set of Titleist wedges that are custom ground with different shaft options. He has two of the wedges, 54/60 degrees. They are more rounded at the toe and look slightly different at address. Can yo explain the difference in these wedges and if there are any benefits for of these wedges over the spin milled wedges that are in stock at the golf shop.

As an avid fan of your wedges I would like to know the difference in performance between your spin milled, 200 series and TVD wedges. I am in the process of getting new wedges for the summer right before I play in some AJGA tournaments. What would you recommend to a +1 handicapper? In the past i've already been fit for wedges through a local fitter with the spin milled wedges but have never been able to try your 200 series or TVD wedges. Will you make this avalibe to the general public at some time to try?
