Titleist Vokey black nickel wedges

Summary:
After playing Ping wedges for almost 10 years, I needed to replace my 48,52 and 58 degree Ping coppers because I had regrooved them twice from wear and they had lost their spin. I tried CG10's(good feel, not enough spin), CG11's(not enough feel chipping), Callaway PM Grinds(nearly uncontrollable amounts of spin on full shots), the new Ping wedges(very close to the BeCu's, and Nike's TW's(no 48 degree). None were giving me the versatility to hit any wedge shot from anywhere with any club that I was used to with my Pings. The pro (who was likely irritated after two hours) handed me a demo Titleist black nickel 5608 and it was like flipping on a switch. The heavier head practically dropped itself on the back of the ball. They executed every shot flawlessly. I replaced all three of my Pings with Vokey Blacks, and have lowered my HC 2 points. The feel around the green is the most noticeable difference(the Pings would feel "dead" at times). I would not recommend these to anyone who a.) has trouble generating spin, you get out what you put in with these clubs, b.) doesn't like a heavier head, and c.) is looking for a game improvement wedge (although with the higher bounce models, I would imagine you may get some help). This model has been discontinued so they may be tough to find, but if you can get your hands on them, try 'em. Especially around the greens. They'll save you shots.

Summary:
I have this wedge in 56 degrees as of now. I'm pretty satisfied but I will be replacing it with the Taylormade rac Black (or satin) TP wedges. This Vokey is a little heavier than I would like and I have always sort of felt as if the club face was dead when it was not hit on the sweet spot. Great wedge and I would reccomend it to anyone who likes a heavier wedge.

Summary:
Recently at the PGA Tour Store, I had a few minutes to kill while waiting on some clubs to be regripped, so I went back to try wedges. I tried this wedge without looking a the brand name and could not believe how much easier it made sand shots, a part of my game that I'd really been struggling with. There is plenty of bounce, a wonderful sole design, and heavier swing weighting. I realized that the club (Black Nickel) I'd tried was no longer available new. The good news, however, was that the club I'd tried was not a "demo" but rather a "used" club. I bought it promptly, only to find that the value was only fully realizable on the course where full shots - even off the dry fairway - are made far easier with this club, as are delicate chip shots around the green. SImply an excellent sand wedge that has made my previous models obsolete. It's worth noting that I have a slightly steep swing and, as advertised by Titleist, this model of 200 series wedge is designed for players like me. My previous wedges were either lower bounce models ( 8 to 10 degrees ) and/or models with narrow soles. The joke is on me because I previously passed over these wedges and opted for Ping Tour (S59 type) and really buttery KZG's. Now, I could not imagine playing without this model and am seriously considering adding the 48-degree pitching wedge as well. Simply put, it's the best club I've ever used. The only problem is, it handles the touch shots, even on tight lies, seem so much easier that my lob wedge has become obsolete.
