The Clevelands are the best feeling wedges I have ever hit. I try to like my Vokeys, but they are nothing compared to the Tour rack... I also have Callaway and Taylormade wedges.... I am a wedge whore... |

I eagled a 390 yard par 4 today.
80 yard lob wedge landed a foot short, bounced about 6 feet and spun back into the hole. Since we’re talking wedges, it’s a raw Vokey Wedgeworks 60* V grind. |

One advantage is if you’re doing custom grinds you don’t have a layer of plating/finish to go through and make them look weird. To be completely honest I just prefer the look.

Made a 7 iron last season on a 440yd 4 (also didn't see it) Only one I watched go in was a 60yd pitch in a scramble... so that doesn't count. |

The second one, a par 4 on my home course, I actually thought I had flown over the elevated green and lost my ball in the woods behind it until my buddy saw my ball in the cup, we found the divot on the edge of the green where it landed and spun back about 8'. Luck is a big part of my game. |

No bragging here. In my life I've never shot Eagle . Came close a few times and settled for Birdie or par. I'm still in the low - mid handicap range .
I'm decent enough that I look real good when I'm playing with people who don't know what the fuck they are doing |

Ordered a “used” 23 Taylormade Cart Bag. Brand new one with tags showed up. Saved $115.
I love the upgrade every year crowd, allows me to play with recent equipment without spending a fortune. Attached File |

The Odyssey triple track 11 still had a gross stock grip. |
