Yesterday I had my first round back home after the Vokey Experience last weekend. I'm a 7 handicap right now that generally has a consistent game but would say my wedges (especially chipping) could be my biggest weakness. I'd say I'm 50/50 on what I would consider a good chip with my misses split between chunks and thin shots. My fitting got me 50.12F, 54.14F, and 58.08M's - I previously had Vokey's but had less bounce in my lower lofts and more in my 58 so it is a bit of a change. I hit 6 chips yesterday and all of them I would consider good. My usual playing partners were a little shocked - their first question was are the wedges that good?
To answer that I'd say it was a combination of things - the wedges are awesome and having correct bounces makes a big difference. However what I think also really helped was the tips the Titleist/Vokey guys gave us on how to use them properly. I've always tended to have too much shaft lean which negates the bounce and causes digging (or over correcting to cause thin shots) - I tried really hard to make sure I was using the bounce better on all my chips and they all came off the face great.
All I can say is I'm loving the wedges so far and I can't wait until my next round - hoping I can get a practice session in this week as well.
