What's the big difference between the '09 and 10 vokey wedges?

[C_MAC]

As the title says what is the difference between the 2 wedges? My 56* is starting to show a few battle wounds and I'm thinking of changing but there are new regulations on the 2010 model. Is there much of a difference?

I think this is about the new regulation on the grooves that are allowed. Groove shape has changed.

However the pro I use tells me that this will not have that big an effect on your average golfers game just the low H/C and pro's as it mainly affects the control you get comming out of the rough onto the greens etc.

I am sure others will confirm but I think if you have an old wedge with worn grooves the new ones will be an improvment ...just maybe a little behind what could be achieved with last years models.

Comments?

I agree with the last posting. I bought a Vokey 56 deg sand iron yesterday which matches my other Vokey's which are a couple of years old and there seems little difference with the spin rates. Maybe the new one spins a tad more but its all a feel thing anyway

Hello there,

I don't suppose anyone knows where I can get some new vokey wedges the ones that have the more severe grooves from 2009?

Thanks in advance

Both Vokeys are still available as the groove ruling only applies on the pro circuit and won't apply to us mere mortals until 2024.

All your answers can be found here. The new groove rules do not apply to amateurs until 2024.

I may be wrong but I understood that new wedges, now made, had to conform to the new rules but it was ok for amateurs to use older wedges up until 2024

I also thought all clubs now sold had to be c of c conforming.

My new Adams are.

They certaianly do not generate the same spin when coming out of the rough (and sometimes not from the fairway either). I don't mind, but a friend with new Mizunos is selling them on after 3 weeks use and going back to his old clubs.

I believe Murph is correct here, newly manufactured clubs have to conform, however you may continue to use non conforming clubs as an amateur until 2024. You will just find that once the old stock has gone you won't be able to buy a 'non-conforming' club.
