Something curious has happened on golf equipment over the past decade. What was once a sharp wedge has become silent into something else completely – something stronger, longer, and increasingly detached from the rest of your wedge placement.
While you were not watching, a humble wedge with 48 degrees last year (or perhaps yellow) was taken to a muscular club 44-, 43- and, in some cases, 42 degrees that behave more like a 9-Herk with an identity crisis.
And this has created a problem that wedge makers have failed to address so far.
Let me tell you a story
As much as I will protect strong severe severe shackles until my death, I have experienced some of the headaches they can cause.
Not much time after I wrote This part by comparing wedges set with specialty wedgesI changed my wedge set in accordance with a 46 degree Vokey SM9. Not only did I prefer Vokey’s appearance to the address, but it also gave me a more enjoyable trajectory and spin-eer than I was getting from my determined wedge.
I was happy (until I changed handcuffs).
My new cuffs were a little stronger and the gap between my 9-I was uncontrollable.
When the title placed me in T350, we (Fitter and I) made it painful (more like painlessly) Decision to exchange my Vokey for matching.
This fixed one problem and created another. The gap between my 9-Irage and PW was perfect, but the gap between PW and GW was pushing 20 yards.
Long short story: We fixed one problem, created another, and in the process we got a club I liked very much from the bags.
This is not what seems to be the winner.
When SM10 started, I changed my 50-foot-to-a-48 and while it did for happy happy gaps, I was still down a Vokey.
With the announcement of Vokey Wedgeworks 44f, I have taken the opportunity again and so on you.
Wedgeworks 44F – a new starting point
For years, Vokey’s wedge lineup started at 46 degrees with F Grind, a completely sensitive entry point if you are playing the T100 title or more everything else within the player’s iron category. Crossing the cuff to the wedge is smoothly, the immaculate gap.
What if you swing T150 with their 44 -degree greed wedge? Or T200 or (like me) T350 pw handcuffs with 43 degrees? That first step in Vokey territory becomes a giant jump – not the type of Neil Armstrong.
And so, for the sake of all mankind, with Wedgeworks 44f, Vokey has finally addressed the problem.
“Vokey 46 has been such a valuable club for so many, tournaments and amateurs alike,” said Vokey Tour Aaron Dill. “With Lofts by strengthening in iron groups, we needed a lower head to avoid the sacrifices coming from the strengthening of a 46.”
Those sacrifices? More significant than you might think.
Why “only bend it” is not the answer
Why not just bend a 46? (can you ask)?
When bending a strong wedge, you are not just changing the attic – you are radically changing the club’s DNA. Compensation increases as swelling decreases.
Most of us are unlikely to notice a difference with one degree, but more than that and you will start to be confused with the design game.
So, like modern handcuffed players, what should we do?
This is where Vokey Wedgeworks 44f enters into the conversation and for those of us who prefer specialty wedges in their matching counterparts, it potentially changes everything about how to cross the wedge.
Not just for medium players
Don’t think that this is just a problem for medium hackers like me, I should point out that Wyndham Clark fought with this correct problem too.
Clark needed wedge that would constantly perform in soft, granular conditions.
“When a player does not have enough swelling, often the location of vertical impact can be higher on the face,” Dill explained. “Wyndham was originally at 46.10f Bent Strong, who lowered swelling. In softer conditions, his strike would tend to be higher in the face than optimal.”
Clark tried the new 44f, though with a twist. He bowed him (well, someone bent for him) a little weak at 45 degrees. This counterbalance increased bounce and reduced compensation, giving exactly what it needed.
“This gave him more bounce and helped to keep his flight down, and we stayed in a profile that suits his eye,” Dill said. “She added confidence, as he knew he could aggressively hit the ground and believe that he would get the result he was looking for.”
Clark immediately put him in the game in Sentry to start his 2025 season.
The gap
At 10 degrees of bounce (identical to SM10 46.10F and 48.10f models), Wedgeworks 44F maintains the right interaction of the ground while filling the gap in your group that those with stronger handcuffs fight with it.
Of course, you can climb with your firm wedge in accordance, but those of us who prefer the specialty wedge approach finally have an applicable opportunity to replace our shocked wedges.
Completion options, availability, price
Wedgeworks 44F is now available on Chrome or Raw Finish tours for both right and left players. As with all Wedgeworks offers, you have extensive personalization opportunities including unique finger carving and custom stamping.
The shares of the stock is a true dynamic gold temperature S200. The stock flu is a universal title 360. Numerous alternative shafts and gloves are available through the habit.
At $ 225, it costs just more than an average wedge, but I think this is the cost of solving a problem (and replacing a heavy wedge).
Vokey Wedgeworks 44F is available through Golf stores and Vokey.com.
