chinkwan Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 (edited) Please refer to the previous post I did on the Tourstage Utility comparison.. Same thing, three testers trying out three different 60 degree wedges... The three candidates are: 1) Tourstage X-Wedge 2007 model with True Temper S200 2) Miura Wedge (N.American Edition) with True Temper Seniscore S300 3) Titleist Vokey Oil Can (Old version, not spin-milled) with Accra Steel shaft (my own wedge) I was the main tester on the above wedges... I use the above wedges and flopped 3 balls each, I have a fellow tester count the number of bounces as well as assessing the bite... Cut to the chase, the Tourstage X-Wedge definitely bite the most and settled down quickest, the Miura was second.. Vokey was dead last.. In terms of feel, the Tourstage X-Wedge feels the softest, the ball seems to hang on to the wedge just a touch longer.. the Miura was solid but did not have as much feel as the X-Wedge.. My Vokey was dead-last. FYI, I love Miura Irons.. I used to own a seton MC-101.. I love their feel over Endo Forged Irons (sampled Mizuno and Tourstage)... so I am quite suprised that I prefer the Endo Forged X-Wedges over the Miura Wedge. In terms of sole design, the X-Wedge is superior as well over the Miura and Vokey..I was able to get underneath the ball better with the X-Wedge... Overall, it's Tourstage, Miura then Vokey in that order.. I have been playing Vokeys for the past four years.. I had a chance to acquire Miura wedgess for a steal of a price but at that time I did not feel that the Miuras are clear-cut superior to the Vokeys to warrant a purchase.. I still stand by that assessment. The Tourstage are definitely better and I will be ordering a set when funds permit.. Have not had a chance to see an Epon, Fourteen or Golds wedge in person or hit them.. heard great things about them. I have no idea how the X-Wedge compares to those three.. Just giving my honest opinion on what I have tried.. I am giving my opinion to help fellow TSGers to make informed decisions, not here to hype any product for personal gains (my friend is the owner on the X-Wedge, he is very happy with them and won't be posting them on sale here or fleabay...) Is anybody interested in buying a well-used set of Vokeys?? that will help me fund a set of X-Wedges!! Just kidding Edited June 5, 2007 by chinkwan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
master Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 I'm alternating between Gold's 2 tone wedge & Crews T301 Triple Sole wedges both with DG S200 shaft. They are both beautiful to look at, craftsmanship is top notch. In terms of feel, Golds is the softest may be due to the copper underlay although Crews is not far behind. Spin wise, both wedges put out a lot of spin, in fact I need to take a whole round to adjust to Crews spin & it chews the ball. Both wedges are superb but I like the Golds a little bit more than Crews, may be due to the fact that Golds is a limited edition, it has a fantastic feel & very accurate.

gocchin Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 Where are the pics! Great feedback and review... I've never played vokeys... but seems like a lot of people do. You need to throw in a set of Epons in there for comparison! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chinkwan Posted June 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 (edited) Master: when you come visit your parents.. be sure to bring the Gold and Crews.. I can arrange another shootout.. Gocchin: If you happen to visit west coast, bring your wedges and we can have another shootout.. What me and my buddies have pale in comparison to what you got.. I will try to get some pics up..

Blader-X Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 Looking foward to seeing the pics!! I was at one time heavily devoted to Vokeys myself. I believe they're still very good wedges and useful, but the some of the JDM stuff just plain beats them out. Haven't had the pleasure of hitting the Miuras or TourStages, but I play TourStage irons and am more than happy with them. My current wedges, the Epon X-models are by far the very best I have ever come across when it comes to my game. Thanks again for sharing your insight.
