some of the best wedges on the market. love the oil can finish. i've got a 52*, 54*, 58*, and 60* in the oil can finish. wedges for full shots, half shots, chips, tight fairways, sand (soft or hard) and the rough. took these out of the bag for a while, but have recently come back to them. don't know why i ever took them out.

got a 58.12* bent to 59* in raw finish with some custom grinding to reduce teh bounce a bit. It's a rust bucket and teh best wedge. I was playig a 588TSC 60* but this rusty raw finish is well, um lightyears more effective. isn't grinding the best? ;-)

rust......mmmmm.

Daaaaaaaaammmmnnnnn! I love these wedges! I just got my Vokey Oil Cans in 50(D5) and 56(D7) with S300 shaft. I was hitting them on the range and was dialing in the flags. I was flying my 50 degree to a 105 yard flag, into the wind with ease. And then messing around trying to land the ball 5 yards in front of the flag, then pitch to the 75 yard flag - AND DOING IT!!! Same thing with the 56.

I've got a decent short game, but the feel, weight and accuracy of these wedges my just take may short game to a new level. Far better than my CG10 60 degree.

Looks are very stunning, but I realize the dark copper-ey finish will wear off.

Highly recommended.

I just recently picked up a 256.14 Oil Can myself to replace my old worn out Cleveland 588. I picked the Vokey because it reminded me a bit of my Cleveland 900 60* lob wedge (which I love dearly! Damn you Cleveland for discontinuing them!) In the 2 rounds I have played with the Vokey, I have nearly holed out 3 shots from 50-75. Incredible for me considering I could never stick it so close like that with my 588. This one is a keeper and I cannot wait for it to get all rusty.

I love my Vokey´s!!! I picked up on ebay the 254.10 and 260.12 both in the original Raw finish. The grooves are still fresh and the wedges play fantastic. I have played a variety of Cleveland, Mizuno, Callaway, and Hogan wedges, but it always seems to be a Vokey that overall performs the best for me. Look at my sig and call me a Ho for Titleist, but I believe in playing what works best for me. The Vokey 200 series will execute whatever shot you ask it to. What else could you want? 5 Stars.

I think Vokeys are the best wedges out there. They load the ball with some amount of spin, even when you're barely accelerating on 'feel' shots. Lots of spin on full shots as well, just what you want to attack tight pins

I have the Titleist Vokey 200 Series for my 52, 56, and 60 degree wedges and love the look and feel of them.

The Vokey wedges from Titleist are excellent clubs. Top quality finish, Excellent feel, and great looks combine to make a very good product. I rated the 200 series a 4, only because the Spin Milled versions are a cut above.

I've been playing my Vokeys 200 and SM for over a year now though I have "dallied" with the Callaway Forged+, x-tours and Mizunos... I always come back to the Vokeys as there's nothing with better feel and balance. They may not be forged, but they are IMO the best chipping wedge there is, period.

Just for your info (if you didn't know), forging is the process in which you make the club, and has no effect on feel or play.

Cast vs. Forged: With casting, hot metal is "poured" into a mold. The grain structure is therefore, random and inconsistent. For forgings, the alloy is rolled (pressed) to produce a linear "grain" structure which helps make it consistently thinner, stronger and lighter.

True, but with todays technology you will see just about no difference in consistency between cast and forged clubs.

Exactly. I play forged Mizuno irons, and cast Vokey wedges. Feel in the Vokeys is exceptional, then again, feel is the perception of each individual player.

I've used the 200 series 50' along with the Spin Milled 54' and 58'. Wedges are my weapons on the course. These are all that everyone cracks them up to be. No issues with casting instead of forging, for me at least. But look at 588s as well, you can't go wrong either way!

I play two Spin Milled's along with a 48* 200 series Oil Can. The absolute best...control, grind, spin, feel...end of the story.

I thought Vokey was going to release new wedges with the tour grind, no? Is the T grind recommended only for the lob wedge, not the others?

Can anyone comment on the stock shafts? Any recommendations for other shafts in these? I just ordered 2 wedges and they don't offer the Rifle Spinners anymore...

After trying and switching and trying and switching... I always come back to Vokeys. These are classic and I don't think will ever be out of want. I currently have the oil can version after many years of chrome and tour chrome. They feel great, don't rip up golf balls like the Spin Milled or Callaways with Mac Daddy grooves. I only wish Titleist would offer more in options like they do for the Spin Milled clubs.

It's very odd to me that a cast club would feel better than some forged. Cast Vokey's are great. I have been a long time forged club proponent. A lot of newer clubs that aren't forged can soften the "hit" in clubs, but IMO don't have the same feeling as a solid forged club. Listen I am a huge Titleist Honk, but even the AP2's, which I game/love, aren't as sweet feeling as the Nike VR half cavities or my old 690.CB's. But somehow I still love cast Vokeys.

Great response going high or low. Want the ball to run out or check up, no worries. They give what you put into them. Swing poorly and you get a crappy shot, but put a good swing on it and you're rewarded. Seems obvious, but some wedges leave you wanting more. I'm sure they're are better wedges if you want to flop shots all day long, or if you want to suck back shots, go ahead if it makes you feel better. Bottom line is wedges are about control and regular Vokeys give that to me.

You'll be fine with the stock shafts, if you like the Project X5.5 in your AP2's. It's a stiff shaft not too "boardy" At a wedge length most regular and stiff shafts perform similarly. They usually say Wedge flex, but I think they are DG S200 or something.
