   A hyped up stick made for maybe 2% of the golfing population. Let them have it. C’mon, 98% or so do not have the feel, touch, fine muscle control, or overall skill to benefit from the ‘subtleties’ ground into this ‘miracle wand.’ How many, like me, feel neglected market wise.

   I love how the high-and-mighty come out of the woodwork to “criticize” the golf industry at every new product announcement. Maybe find a more productive way to spend your time – like starting at a wall or sucking air through your teeth.

   Yes, golf companies exist to make profits. Especially the publicly traded ones. And, yes, they will come out with new products every year – whether “improved” or not – essentially because, in modern capitalism, they must. Especially the publicly traded ones.

   Golf clubs are not life’s essentials. And, if you’re on Golfwrx, they’re not “the tools of your trade”. (The big joke being, the folks who make a living with their clubs get them for free – plus a ton of cash – all of which comes out of YOUR pockets!)

   Golf clubs are luxury items.

   So drop the idiotic, disingenuous shock and indignation when you see “custom options” and high prices. No one needs to play golf. No golfer needs more than one set of (grown adult) golf clubs in their life, except in the unlikely event they wear them out. Any golfer could assemble a full set – especially of used clubs – for the price of one hand-ground Vokey. And when you start grumbling “that isn’t good enough for me”, then accept the fact that golf is your hobby, perhaps even golf clubs are your hobby, and you’re being a whiny little child that your precious hobby isn’t as cheap as you’d like it to be.

   Use SM6’s which are fine, but saw the Cleveland RTX 4’s in the shop and they are pretty nice. Kind of like an S Grind but looking down on them they sit and look a little better. Titleist should have kept JP and come out with something fresh. SM4 – SM7, SM7 seems like the end of the design cycle.

   Golf club marketing buzzword is now “customization”… so geardeads can own “tour-tested” features… for a few more $$$$$$$$$$$$… and feed their neuroticism.
   So every off-the-shelf stock wedge is now deficient and inferior and should be scrap ped… to gain tour quality wedge shots. (“Golfers are gullible.” — Harvey Pennick, Little Red Book,)

    Huge Titleist fan, but not sure how much longer. Have seen so many shortfalls in improvements since the SM2, SM4/5’s were just harsh and ball flight was awful. SM6/7’s are average at best.

    Now Voke wants $300 to use a belt sander on the edge and sole, you’re losing your fan base and reputation Voke.

    Worth jumping on their site to learn more about the various grinds. Bob Vokey’s experience goes a long way. Like the idea of more options and focus on SCORING clubs !

    Go to harbor freight and get a cheap wheel and grind yourself. I swear, golfers are the least resourceful bunch on the planet. The golf industry thrives on you fools.

    Is it me or are wedges starting to get too expensive? $200 for a wedge is crazy high IMO.

      $300 for a wedge ground by Vokey himself is an absolute steal
