OVERALL RATING ★★★★

• By using longer hosel lengths and thicker toplines in the higher lofts (54 degrees and up), Vokey was able to shift the centre of gravity up (for a lower trajectory) and slightly forward, which enables the clubface to square more easily. • A “spin-milled” cutting process creates the entire scoreline instead of a partial scoreline. • Micro-grooves cut between the grooves add spin on less-than- full shots. • Top 5 in Performance, all handicaps • 27 options (46-62 degrees), 6 grinds, 3 finishes

• The grooves are

produced using a CNC milling process and feature a new face blast to help improve performance in wet conditions.

• The wedges are

manufactured from 8620 carbon steel using a metal- injection-moulding

process that produces tighter manufacturing tolerances, reducing the need for hand polishing that can lead to inconsistencies. • Top 5 in Sound/Feel, low-handicaps • 17 options (48-60 degrees), 4 grinds, 2 finishes

‘This club is an absolute paintbrush in every way.There is no trajectory that it can’t handle across any short shot. It’s so easy to use and instills complete confidence.’ – 10-HANDICAP

‘Nice, pleasing compression on full shots. Around the green, the club really shines from hard-packed sand. The bounce allows the club to glide right through.’ – 13-HANDICAP
