I'm looking into purchasing a couple of these wedges. I hear all good things about them thus far but am curios if any of you have any experience with them. I'm currently playing the Cleveland cg11 wedges, which are good, but I'm looking for more spin into greens. Thanks in advance for the input!

They're probably good, anything from Titlesit is. My instructor though seems to not believe in Titlesit clubs, he says their balls are great, but the Callaways are better clubs, and they are easily sold when you want to get a new set.

Wedges are an animal unto themselves. Lucky...this is not a case of "clubs are clubs" when it comes to wedges. Putters, too.

All of the Vokey stuff is good...and they say that the Spin Milled ones are the best ever. Then again, all of the Cleveland wedges are great! I have the first BeCu cleveland sw that they did, I think it's the 485 grind...nice compact teardrop shape. The 588 grind is nice, too, but much more 'square' shaped, though. I put that away for posterity along with a dozen or so different Wilson, Hogan and Haggin sw's from over the years, and have since played the original "Snake Eyes" wedges (when they were made by hand by Ernie Vadersen for tour play...before they sold out to Golfsmith, and when they ground the sole to have 3 different lies depending on the type of shot you wanted). I may have tossed it that one time, but made amends when somebody fished it out of the lake for me! We've become good friends again. Turns out that the problem was that the shaft had a little tweak at the hosel so the club was just not working right.

I was playing the Plantation Course at Kapalua in Maui back in 1994, and they had a Scotty Cameron original putter for sale, for $300. I came back to buy it at the pro shop after the round...really didn't know much about Cameron at the time, it just looked great...and someone else bought it. About a year later he hooked up with Titleist. Putter is probably worth a fortune now...custom pre-Titleist Cameron??

So I took the $300 and bought cigars.

I have a Vokey wedge...
Can't recall the exact number but I have a tough time hitting it.
I come in at too sharp of an angle and take too deep of a divot. Never get the right spin off that club...
That is on the fairway though, it is great in the rough.

I have 3 (52, 56, and 60) and they are fantastic. I used to be a loyal Cleveland guy, but once Vokey came out, I was sold. They look great and the feel and control is wonderful. Sometimes, they can impart a little too much spin, but all in all, they are great wedges.

I have the oil can 54 and 58 wedges and really like them. I agree with jlaker they can actually put a little too much spin on the ball at times (at least if you are hitting a "fuller" shot) and it will chew up your ball a little. But around the greens the spin is perfect for me anyway. Overall they are great wedges.

Ozz, if you like the club, you may want to try a different bounce angle. They may be hard to find but they could help you when this happens.
