Vokey SM10 Wedges Craftsmanship Meets Performance

Vokey Design wedges consistently boast an overwhelming usage rate of over 50% on the PGA Tour and remain the top choice on the Japan domestic men's tour. Their reliability stems from their exceptional "scoring performance," and a result of refined craftsmanship. Bob Vokey regards wedges as the "scoring clubs," and in collaboration with top players, has crafted unique wedge variations (in terms of lofts and grinds) that set Vokey apart. “Even if you miss the green or your ball lands in a difficult lie near a hazard, with a trusty wedge in hand and the ability to get it close to the cup, you can still save your score”.

Whenever Bob Vokey develops a new wedge, he focuses on three main goals:

  • Options to suit all lie conditions and playing styles
  • Control to...

    The Most Sought After Golf Club in Japan for 2024 Mizuno Pro 241 Masters Limited Edition

    There is someone in Mizuno who is a marketing genius, maybe just a complete Otaku (geek), but a genius Otaku at that.

    So the idea is simple: let's take their current iron- the fabulous Pro 241 model, and make a limited edition Masters series with it, let's brand it with the Masters logo, and make it in green by giving it a nano-coating mirror finish, and put in a sick Green Masters box. Only available at their stores in Japan. Simple, but surprisingly effective.

    And people have just gone bonkers for them. I mean bonkers. Reports of guys sleeping outside of the Mizuno shop in Kanda are not exaggerated. The sad thing is I don't think anyone will play one of these clubs (only a very limited amount will be made) it's like the rarest of Jordans, or probably...

    What happens if your ball strikes another players ball? Golfing Rules, Seriously!

    On the course this past weekend, I putt from just off the green and my ball struck my playing partners ball, knocking it closer to the hole.

    After a quick giggle, we began to discuss the ruling, 'I'll play from there and its a one-shot penalty for you' my friend said. 'I was off the green' I said, 'Doesn't matter' he said. Right, I said. 'Hang on, and I'll consult the rule book'.

    Luckily, I had The R&A's Rules of Golf on my phone (Well worth a download and it's FREE)

    Without quoting the book verbatim, there are basically three scenarios which you should be mindful of:
