Next to putters, wedges may be the single most personal clubs in a golfer's bag. Wedges come in a variety of shapes. They have different lofts, different finishes, different grooves, different bounces, different soles, and different weights.
For the better player, wedges are the truest scoring clubs. Every shot from 125 yards and in is hit with a wedge, including full shots, chip shots, sand shots, flops, pitches, and more. Tom Kite was one of the first players to put a third wedge in his bag, and today quite a few Tour players have as many as four wedges. Players may switch drivers or irons every few weeks - or even week to week - but wedges sometimes last for years in a player's bag.
In 2005, Bob Vokey and Titleist introduced "spin milled" versions of his famous line of wedges. I've used Vokey wedges for nearly my entire playing career largely due to the esthetics. Cleveland wedges always had a rounded leading edge that looked bizarre to me, and there weren't many other wedges with the reputation of a Vokey wedge.
Made of 8620 mild carbon steel, the Titleist Vokey Spin Milled wedge is just that: a Bob Vokey designed Titleist wedge that's spin milled instead of, uhhhh, not. The face of the wedge is CNC machined to create a rougher surface for better spin retention on partial shots. The wedge features 30% more groove volume due to a special circular-style saw cutting tool that offers a steeper draft angle and a tighter edge radius. In other words, the grooves are deeper and sharper.
The clubs are equipped with a standard TrueTemper Dynamic Gold S200 shaft and a Titleist-branded Golf Pride Velvet Cord grip. I play corded grips in 13 of my clubs, but in the wedge I particularly feel that it aids in feel and remains tacky in nearly any sort of weather.
The 2005 spin milled Vokeys are only available in six loft and bounce combinations - 56.10, 56.14, 58.08, 58.12, 60.04, 60.08 - though players can expect this line to be expanded in 2006.
