Today’s Forum Thread of the Day comes from clemsontiger1 who asks fellow members what they feel are the advantages and disadvantages of playing a “gap wedge that matches your iron set vs a Vokey type wedge”. Our members share their thoughts on the subject, with many drawing from experience.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

kcd38: “I had a Vokey type gap wedge up until I got my i210’s. I really only used my 51-degree Vokey for full swings anyway, so the i210 U wedge gives me more forgiveness and consistency from 120 yards. I have also loved using it around the green to chip to back/uphill pin locations. The only drawback I can see is being able to rip shots back on the green, but the U wedge gives me plenty of spin to control the ball and hold greens.”
Albatross85: “Played a Vokey 50* for last five years and always felt like I got punished on slight mis-strikes. I recently switched to a Set GW at 50* and kept the same shaft that I play in my irons, and it’s been amazing how much more confident I am with it. Actually made an ace with it a few weeks back!”
Celbros: “I much prefer a set Gap Wedge. It is strictly a full-swing club for me for what it’s worth.”
jokerusn: “I go all the way to PW with my Vokey wedges. I like to hit 1/2, 3/4, knockdowns, pitches, sand shots, etc. with all of them and the PW in my set has a really wide sole compared to the rest of the set. I like the extra spin I get from the Vokey wedges around the green.”

Spotted: Titleist GTS USWO headcovers

GolfWRX Tour Photographer Greg Moore was at Riviera Country Club this last week in Los Angeles for the U.S. Women’s Open. While browsing the photos, I spotted a recent major trend in headcovers. That is, the Titleist GTS headcover line expands the majors theme.

Seen on the bag of Natalia Guseva were the red, white, and blue Titleist GTS covers. This is the third time we have seen limited-edition Titleist major covers, the others being at the Masters and the PGA Championship. But with the launch of the GTS line back at the Texas Children’s Houston Open in March, this is the first time we have seen Titleist come out with major themed head covers for the season (driver headcovers through hybrids).

Check out some photos below.

At the Masters, we saw the familiar Masters green, white, and yellow. While the PGA Championship design was colors synonymous with the Philadelphia Eagles NFL team. This shows the season major drops continue full steam ahead for major OEMs. New opportunities for each major for designs and themes, and who knows, maybe a lucky spark for a player and a major championship for their resume. It gets the wheels turning for what major theme headcover you would keep on your bag for the whole season!
