The Vokey spin milled spins miles
Advantages: Looks goos, Feels great and spins loads
Disadvantages: None
...Th Titleist Vokey Spin Milled is one of the best wedges on the market. The original design by Bob Vokey has not been changed much for years.
The wedge comes in a full range of lofts from 64" - 48" with all types of bounce on it. The wedge is cut using a CAD maching and has about 30% more groove area than conventional wedges so there is more space for the ball to deform in to. The edges of the grooves are more defined and 'sharper' so the friction produced is greater therefore putting more spin on the ball.
I personally have a 58" and I love it. It is an oil can which i think looks better although it has been proven that rust has no noticable affect on the spin rate of the ball. With the oil can it must be cleaned well after use as the dirt and moitsure will make it rust loads. It spins so much as long as the grooves are clean...

Bob vokey's Finest Hour...
Advantages: Feel, Price, Looks, Durability. Everything top notch!
Disadvantages: N/a
...The raw version of this wedge is designed to rust and wear over time, the more you use it the better it gets effectively. What an excuse to get out and play that is. From 100 yards and in this club does exactly what its supposed to do.
Dependant on personal preferance, titleist have a range of loft and bounce options available for this range of wedges. They also have different styles of the vokeys available, they have oil can, raw and steel. The difference been, the steel is a standard club, the raw is designed to rust and the oil can is treated with oil to aid the performance, personally I recommend an investment of all three, just for the variety of the options, through pw, sw and lw and also for consistency of the vokey, the unique feel and responsiveness is consistent through its wedge range. It can also be tailored to players...

Titleist NXT tour golf balls
Advantages: Soft, feel, distance
Disadvantages: A bit pricey
...Having taken up golf in the last year i've lost (and found) alot of golf balls on the local fairways as you might expect, most of these balls are then hit and lost again for someone else to find and so the cycle continues.
That was at least until i slowly showed signs of improvement and treated myself to a sleeve (pack of 3) of Titleist NXT tour golf balls from my local pro shop for £4.99, i must admit i wasnt keen to part with almost a fiver for 3 golf balls but you know the way it is... better equipment will make me a better player right? well funnily enough it may have helped a little.
So what is so special about the NXT tour series of ball?
Well, firstly its round (which helps) so nothing special there then, its when you first tee one up and hit it - that's when you know you've just hit a great ball, when you manage to tee...

Flop it and Stop it with this lob wedge!!
Advantages: Feels great. Looks Great. Plays Great
Disadvantages: Definitiely a top of the price wedge!
...If you are a golfer like me, you will have watched in amazement when watching the pros around the greens, in what look likes thick rough, just flop the ball out and put it within a couple of feet of the flag.
Well the trick to this shot is to use your most lofted club and literally let the loft of the club get the ball in the air and land it softly on the green with plenty of control. The Titleist Vokey 60 degree lob web is ideal for playing this kind of shot.
I like to think my short has always been above average, however since buying the Vokey lob wedge it has improved to a very high level considering I play of an 11 handicap. I own the oil can finish with 4 degree angle of bounce. For information, the abgle of bounce is the angle formed by the leading edge of the clubhead and the ground. This angle reduces the club digging under...

Titleist Pro V1X
Advantages: Great name in golf balls
Disadvantages: Not really for high handicappers
...I'm not really into the science of golf balls, all I know is that there are good balls and not so good balls. I wouldn't play with golf balls that cost 20p per ball such as Donnay because they don't feel nice to hit and yes on the golf course you just don't use Donnay to play low rounds and in tourneys.
I tried a titleist Pro V1X today in a Stableford tourney off white tees so I had a little extra yardage to play, I mostly use Titleist PTS Solo because they are designed for mid to high handicappers, and I can hit them, so they work for me. Titleist have brought out this new breed of ball, and as i said I don't know the science so i'm not going to say there is this and there is that, etc. All i know is that these balls are designed to cut out spin, have a lower flight and create more distance, however, I never saw any of that. To me...

Get in the Hole!
Advantages: Improves your short game dramatically easing putting!
Disadvantages: It costs its value!
...When it comes to golf normally the more you spend the more you get back and in terms of your short game this is definitely true. When looking for a wedge look for your desired loft, feel i.e. soft hard and make. I know saying might make some people say your just paying for the name. But in terms of golf names are made for outstanding products and the Volkey Wedge is certainly one.
When Bob Volkey was asked by Titleist to create a new style of wedges Bob Volkey thought professional control for everyone. The heat-treated oxide treatment is a thin surface on the club, which enables spin for all golfers. Now I for one know that there is nothing better in golfer in hitting a high wedge an watching it draw back as if on a piece of string. And that is what this club provides.
All of his 200 series are steel shafted and that...

Titleist DCI 962
Advantages: Great Value at under £500
Disadvantages: Not for high handicappers
...I have been the proud owner of a set of Titleist DCI 962s for two years now. Having been advised by a friend that these were the best clubs on the market I now believe this to be true. The DCI 962 is a superb set of clubs designed for the mid to low handicapped golfer. The clubs are based on the bladed clubs of yesteryear accompanied by the modern perimeter weighted clubs of today. Each club, from the three iron to the sand wedge, is a wonderfully crafted club for the serious golfer.
These clubs have helped me to reduce my handicap by a couple of strokes. I bought the clubs with a handicap of 11. Soon after using them to good effect I won two club competitions back to back and got my handicap down to single figures. This must be partially due to the wonderful set I use. The sweet spot is not as large as it’s...

Titleist Pro V1 - the best ball yet
Advantages: great feel and distance
Disadvantages: cost
...I have been playing golf for 15 years and always play with a Titleist ball. It's something of a habit, but the ball suits my game. In cold wet conditions I'll play with the pts wound ball, and in dry summer conditions the professional balata. That was until I tried the newest product from Titleist, the pro V1.
It is the tour professionals choice of ball combining both distance and feel.It is longer off the tee than the balata ball but gets enormous spin around the green.
I'm not sure how Titleist have done it, but I was amazed at the extra length I got off the tee and the control and spin I got around the green. Putting with it is a dream, the ball doesn't fly off the putter like the wound ball.
At the moment the cost of the ball will put off all but the most accomplished golfer, at £35 a dozen you don't really want to 'lose' a ball...

Titleist DCI 962's
Advantages: Nice feel, good ball flight
Disadvantages: not for the high handicapper
...I have been the owner of a set of Titleist 962s for about a year and a half and have to say that I am nothing but impressed by them. Being a 9 handicapper at the time I was after a set of clubs that would allow me to hit a variety of shots but also was not keen on having to use blades to achieve this. The 962s are definately worth spending £500 on if you are serious about spending this sort of money. They have a very nice look and look good behind the ball - they are smaller in size than say a wilson iron but not as small as a blade so you do not worry about mishitting it! The produce a quite a low ball flight and are very easy to move both left to right and right to left. In conclusion I would say that these clubs are perfect for someone who is a low handicapper who is not looking for blades. Very highly recommended indeed....

TITLEIST 975D DRIVER
Advantages: eliminates high right
Disadvantages: costy
...Having suffered for the last couple of years with the classic "big-right" shot and having put the pro through many strenous unsuccessful lessons i decided that having spent as much on lessons as a new top of the range club would cost i decided that now was to fork out the price of these lessons again and to buy a new driver to try to eliminate this ever growing problem preventing me from decreasing to the single figures which i knew i deserved. naturally when i was looking in the market i was drawn in by the titleist 975D driver as its promise to eliminate thew "high right" shot from your game.
Naturally when i first found out that it had not eliminate it from my game i was very dissapointed and was on the edge of giving the game up. However my pro said that i should stick at it and amazingly within a few rounds my slice became...
