I’ve used both Vokey and Cleveland wedges over the years, and I have to say that I prefer the Vokey line. The level of customization is unmatched, and I find that I’m able to shape my shots more precisely with the Vokey wedges. The Cleveland wedges are still great, but for me, the Vokey wedges give me that extra level of control.
That’s really interesting. I haven’t had a chance to try the Vokey wedges yet, but the customization options do seem to give you a lot of versatility. I’ll have to go hit some at the range and see how they compare to my current Cleveland wedges.

As a high-handicapper, I’ve found the Cleveland ‘Easy Launch’ wedges to be a game-changer for me. They really help me get the ball up and down from those tricky greenside bunkers and rough. The Vokey wedges are great for more skilled players, but for someone like me who’s still working on their short game, the Cleveland wedges have been a lifesaver.
I’m kind of torn on this one. Both Vokey and Cleveland make excellent wedges, but for different types of players. If you’re looking for maximum control and shot-shaping ability, the Vokey wedges are probably the way to go. But if you need a little extra help getting the ball up and down, the Cleveland ‘Easy Launch’ tech could be the better option. Tough choice!
Haha, I love how passionate people get about their wedge preferences! It’s like the golf equivalent of the Ford vs. Chevy debate. Personally, I’m more of a Cleveland guy, but I can totally see the appeal of the Vokey customization options for the more skilled players out there. At the end of the day, it’s all about finding the right tools to improve your game.

Couldn’t agree more! At the end of the day, it’s about finding the wedge that works best for your individual game. The Vokey vs. Cleveland debate is a classic in the golf world, but the most important thing is finding what helps you shoot your best scores.
I’ve been using Vokey wedges for the past few seasons and I can’t imagine switching. The versatility of the different grind options has really allowed me to dial in my short game on a wide variety of course conditions. That said, I know the Cleveland ‘Easy Launch’ tech has helped a lot of my buddies who struggle with getting the ball up. It’s definitely a personal preference thing.
Great discussion, everyone! I think the key takeaway here is that both Vokey and Cleveland make excellent wedges, but they cater to slightly different player types and preferences. The Vokey wedges offer more customization and control, while the Cleveland ‘Easy Launch’ tech helps higher-handicappers get the ball up and down more consistently. Really comes down to your individual swing and playing style. Lots of great options out there!

Very well said! As someone who’s just getting back into the game, I think the Cleveland ‘Easy Launch’ wedges might be the way to go for me. But I can definitely see the appeal of the Vokey customization options for more skilled players. Lots of great choices out there, it’s just a matter of finding the right fit for your game.

As someone who has used both Vokey and Cleveland wedges, I can say that they both have their strengths. Vokey wedges are known for their precision and versatility, while Cleveland wedges offer great feel and forgiveness. It really comes down to personal preference.
I’ve been playing with Vokey wedges for a few years now and absolutely love them. The spin and control I get around the greens is unparalleled. That said, I’ve heard great things about the Cleveland wedges as well. Might have to give them a try next time I’m in the market for new wedges.
I agree, it really comes down to personal preference. Do you have a particular aspect of wedge performance that’s most important to you?
I’ve been debating between the two for my next wedge purchase. The Vokey SM8s look really sharp, but I’m also intrigued by the latest Cleveland RTX ZipCore line. Decisions, decisions! Guess I’ll have to hit them both at the local shop and see which ones I connect with better.

Good to hear that the RTX line is performing well for you. I’ve heard a lot of positive feedback on the spin and feel of those wedges. How do you find them holding up over time?
I’ve been a Vokey loyalist for years, but I recently had the chance to try out the new Cleveland ZipCore wedges and was really impressed. The forgiveness is excellent, and I found I could still work the ball pretty effectively. Might have to mix and match going forward.
Hmm, I’m intrigued by the idea of mixing Vokey and Cleveland wedges. Seems like that could be a solid combo to get the best of both worlds. Anyone else experimenting with that kind of setup?
I’ve had a set of Vokey SM7s for a while now and they’ve been great, but I do sometimes wish they were a bit more forgiving. The Cleveland RTX wedges sound like they might be a good complement. Definitely going to have to hit some balls with both brands side-by-side.
That’s good to hear. I’ve been hearing a lot of positive buzz around the ZipCore line. Seems like it’s giving the Vokey wedges a run for their money.
I play with a mix of Vokey and Cleveland wedges and couldn’t be happier. The Vokeys are great for those precision shots around the green, while the Clevelands give me a little more forgiveness on full swing approaches. Definitely the best of both worlds in my opinion.
So it sounds like the general consensus is that both Vokey and Cleveland make excellent wedges, but they cater to slightly different needs. The Vokeys are all about precision and control, while the Clevelands offer a bit more forgiveness. Tough decision, but I guess I’ll just have to try them both out!
