Customized Vokeys

[fbayles]

Project X, Iomic, Blue ferrules

At the beginning of the 2009 season, I bought my first Titlest Vokey, 2009 Model 54.11, and immediately fell in love with the spin and performance. By the end of the 2009 season, I had three Vokeys in my bag.


With no need to replace my current wedge setup for the 2010 season, I figured that I could make my current setup a little better. After a long talk with my local Seattle-area clubmaker, here are the modifications that I made.


Current Setup:

2010 Model 50.08

2009 Model 54.11

2009 Model 60.07




Modifications:

New shafts:

· Project X 6.0 (same as my Mizuno 57's)

· 35.5" length (All three the same)

· Bent 2 degrees up

· Custom Blue Ferrules 1" double trim rings (Ordered from Ebay Seller msfix13)


New grips:

· Iomic Sticky –Blue/ Sky Blue

· One extra wrap (grips are smaller than normal grips)

· Ordered from Iomic.com


Other:

· Delofted the 2009 Model 60.07 to a 58 degree


I just got the clubs back from the shop today and I am very pleased with the setup. The clubs look great and I can't wait to play! Thank you Jim at Von's Golf and Putter Studio, Inc.

Just recently traded for a club with an Iomic grip. Long story short, I'm very impressed.

The wedges look great!

Digging the ferrules!

[TheHusky]

those ferrules are sweet, nice little custom setup. just curious did your club maker have a lot of color choices as far as ferrules or did he order them for you specifically?

Thanks for all the comments. I played 18 yesterday and really enjoyed the new setup. While keeping the same distance compared to the off-the-rack shafts, with the stiffer shafts I was able to be more aggressive and swing stronger through impact. From the more aggressive strike, I noticed an increase in spin, which I really enjoyed. Also, those iomic grips are amazing. Definitely worth the extra $.


Ferrules are from ebay. My clubmaker actually had never seen then before and was quite pleased with them. Below is a link to the guy that I got them from. A lilttle pricey but they really look good.

I thought about KBS black nickel, but my mizunos are project X, which are my favorite.


Best, Fred

Love the wedges man. I nice blue and white paintfill in there would seal the deal.

[SALUKI LEFTY]

Very nice looking.

As noted, change the paintfill to white or blue and they are money.

[chadfox]

Those look fresh, great idea. Hope they treat you well this season!

[ElBizzle]

Absolutely love it. Gives me ideas for my clubs

[jrshields3]

Those look awesome! IMO, I don't think you need to change the paintfill. Great color match with teh grips, which I love and now use, and the ferrules.

[imaplus3wannaplay]

nice wedges, but those ferrules would drive me crazy.
