I wonder if he'd ever grind a whole set of irons... I got a feeling that a set of BV blades would be a true collector's item!

I would like to know why he prefers to cast his wedges instead of forging them?

What is the most common bounce configuration a tour player uses on their wedges as I hear more pros are going to higher bounce because of the groove rule.  If he can explain that relation why pros are changing to higher grooves because of the new grooves

I know he's already said how will affect things, but I'd like to know his thoughts personally on the groove rule. Does like/dislike the rule?

What an amazing opportunity this is.

I'd like to know if he either has or will utilize different shafts in response to the new groove rule?

Does he feel the new shaft technology like the DG spinner will help offset the USGA groove rule, or will groves change again to offset for the pro's.

I would love to hear his scientific facts and analysis on the groove rule and whether he felt that the old grooves truly provided a significant advantage.  

I would also be interested to hear what his statistics show on the ability for a professional to generate spin compared to the average golfer.  

I'd also like to know his opinion on creating more versatile generic grinds for different types of golfers like what Scratch has done.  Does he always intend for grinds to be part of Wedgeworks, or will they ever come out with 2-3 "standard" grinds for pickers and diggers.

+1 to this, I dont like the black nickel finish or the oil can as much as I would like to gun metal finish, IMO it is the best at reducing glare.

+1. A retail L grind would be sweet. And of course, his views on the groove rule would be interesting.

1. With the 975D being one of the most popular Titleist drivers of all time, what is the chance that you would ever design another driver for Titleist?

2. Outside of Titleist employees, if you had to have one set of wedges made by one master craftsman, who would you have grind those wedges?

I would love to see some BV irons, i think with his combination of bounces, and the different finishes, him and Titleist would make a killing. i also think they should have some custom paintfill options like he has on the wedges. My question is, why not attempt this?

Just from the videos and what I've seen online, Voke always seems conservative, like he's reading a script. Scotty Cameron for example, has a ton of videos on what he does and how he does it.

I guess I just want to see the enveloped pushed a little bit on this one, bring out the real BV.

^ I saw Voke at the US Open driving range this past June disussing with the pros and pointing out exactly on the wedges what they need for the conditions at pebble. He's very hands on with tour pros
