need new wedges

[mfetterman]

any comparisons between vokeys and mpt's

I am in the market for a new set of wedges. I am currently debating between vokeys and mizuno black nickel mpt's. Right now the edge is leaning towards the vokeys simply because they offer the lofts that I want (50,54 and 58). I would have to have a 51 mizuno bent strong and either a 53 bent weak (but i want a higher bounce on my 54 and the 53 mizuno is rather low to start), or a 56 bent 2 degrees weak. On the other hand i love the feel of all mizuno forgings. I am planning to demo them but i will only be able to hit the 56 or 60 degrees in both. I am looking for any valuable input about the two wedges. Especially if anyone has hit both and can give an unbiased comparison between the two. I would love to hear about the feel, spin, distance and trajectory control and any thing else that you could think of between the two. Thanks a bunch.

I have played both. in fact I own a 60* in both, I don't think you could in anyway go wrong with either one. That said, I play the MPT for one reason and one reason only, spin. Must be my swing angle or something, but I put a lot of spin on the ball, and the Vokey really spins, too much for me

I've got one of both in my bag...I like the Vokey, but I love the MP. Great feel, excellent spin and I love the Miz raw haze. That being said, the miz aren't so durable. But if you're like me and wear out or just replace a wedge or 2 a year....that doesn't matter much anyway.

Couldn't agree more with GLL. I've got a Black Nickel Vokey and a Mizuno Raw Haze, both in 60*. For me the Vokey was real good around the greens for partial shots, but I wouldn't control my spin at all for full or even close to full shots, even after 2 years of use.

 

From the beginning the Mizuno had a great feel and when it hits the green it just stops, no unwanted spin. Can't really comment on durability since I've only had it about 3 weeks.

 

Both are great wedges, the Mizuno just fits me a little better.

Go with a Spin Milled 58, then vokey TC 54 and 50. They look the same, feel very solid, and all spin the ball alot more than Mizuno due to the fact that mizuno grooves are relatively poorly done.

Copy and paste from another thread - I wrote this:

 

I own both the Vokey Tour Chrome 52/56 and Vokey Spin Milled 60 and a set of the Mizuno MP T Black Nickel 51/56/60 and I honestly can say that I love both wedges very much - the Vokey are a bit more head heavy, the Mizzies have a nice tear shaped face and the grooves on my Mp T's spin almost as much as my Spin Milled - definitely more than my standard Vokey Tour Chrome.

 

I would rank them 10/10 both sets - so it's up to you to decide what to go for. You cant' go wrong with either set

 

The Vokey's are cast, the MP T's are forged.

I'm in total agreement with Claus's comments. I currently play the MP Chrome 52 & 58. These are being discontinued so you may be able to get a good deal. I just picked up a backup for both for $65 each at my local golf shop.

 

The only thing I will add is that to me, the MP's feel a touch softer than the Vokey's. Can't go wrong with either though...
