48 vs 48

I don’t use the stock pw , I prefer the 46 degree vokey in my set

I've always thought about replacing my stock PW but I hit it so well I feel if I switch it might give me different results. Maybe its just a mental thing idk.

I played the MB's for a long time and switched to a 48* vokey and the diffefence was night and day, i dont know why, but the ability to hit a multitude of shots from different yardages was improved dramatically. I now play the T100's 2* strong so 44* PW and have my vokey 48/52/56/60

Did you match the shafts in you Vokey's with your AP2 shafts?

They are very different...it is like comparing a MB to the T200...very different irons...

I would only go the route of Vokey PW 46 or 48 if you are a CB or MB player...IMHO

I used an SM7 Vokey 50.08 until I picked up my new T200s with the 48*. As much as I loved my SM7 50, the T200 is far more forgiving on mishits. The Vokey is essentially a blade. Blades are not meant to be forgiving. Since I generally used my 50 (and now my T200 48) for full swing shots, the added forgiveness in the T200 is more appreciated. My SM7 54 and 58, which I use for all sorts of swings from chips to chipitches to pitches to pitchips, as well as full swing shots are better suited to the accuracy and feel afforded by a blade IMO.

Did you find any difference in distance?

Certainly the T200 48 goes further than my SM7 50.10S did. But a full, perfectly flushed, sweetspot hit with the T200 will probably get me about 10 additional yards total over that same swing/contact with my SM7 50. Partially due to the 2* stronger loft and partially due to the extra spin the Vokey likely produces over the T200. However, a slightly missed sweetspot shot with the T200 will typically get me more than 10 yards over the same slightly missed 50* Vokey due to the added forgiveness designed into the T200.

Vokey is the better choice

I haven’t swung the t200 but vokey is the best.

I have 2018 AP1's and I found out the PW is strong so ended up getting SM7's in 48,54 & 60 degrees.

PW=44


44,48,54,60 they work well I think.

I prefer the set wedge(s) and then I round out the bottom of my set with Vokeys. The reason I prefer this is because I mainly use set wedge(s) for full or 3/4 shots. I hardly hit full shots with my Vokeys and if I do the club face is manipulated for a specific shot like a flop. 3/4 shots with my Vokeys are different too. Turf interaction and feel through hitting stock full or 3/4 shots using the same club head gives me consistent feedback, feel and consistency as I'm not doing anything special except hitting a full shot or 3/4 shot. I change ball position, face angle, normal or choke down on the grip etc with my wedges to get the desired ball flight, spin etc thus my Vokeys are made for how I play.

I am a bit with Chris92009 and Doug E on this one. While I am a committed Vokey user (SM7 50.12F, 54.10S and 60.12D), I use my T100 PW (46 degrees). My thinking is I am more often then not hitting full shots with PW and the T100 is more forgiving. This slightly outweighs the versatility of a 46 degree Vokey for me anyway. I did order a 46 degree SM6 several years ago so I have had it in the bag. When I went SM7, I only ordered the three wedges.

My two cents.

Based on my Titleist product specialist/club fitter's recommendation, I went with the club in my set vs the Vokey........

Thanks everyone.... Once the weather breaks, I will get them both to the range and see what fills the gap the best. As always, all opinions are appreciated.

I had same thoughts with these 48 vs 48

Now i have t200 set 5-48 but i wanted to have more workable short irons. I use 48 mostly with full swing and i notice best setup for me is vokey but i change shaft to same what i have on my ”normal” irons. Same to 52 and only 58 with wedge shaft

Also what i just did yesterday is i replaced my 7 - P t200’s to t100s.

Hopefully tai

Earlier on this thread, I advocated for using the iron set 48 wedge. Now, after playing my new T200s with a 48* wedge as part of the set, for over 50 or 60 rounds, I'm noticing a slight inconsistency compared to my old SM7 Vokey 50.08F, which I used to play in this position when I played AP2s (with a 46* PW and no AP2 gap wedge). I have found the T200 48 to be longer than expected on some shots and shorter than expected on others. My Vokeys always seem to give me the distance I expect when I hit them sweet. Also, for whatever reason, probably due to how the T200 looks at set-up to my eye, I tend to go left more often with it, compared to my old Vokey 50*.

Soooooo....the T200 48 will be relegated on the bench shortly. I just put in my order for a new Vokey SM8 48.10F yesterday, along with a 54.12D and 58.12D. Delivery scheduled later next week. #Excited!

I'm still on the fence, But I think, at this point, I am moving in the same direction. T200 48 will be sidelined for a bit. The Vokey 46, 50 and 56 are in the starting lineup. The gapping and distance seem to work better for the course I play 90% of the time. It's nice to have options.

48 SM7 F grind. Looks and feels pretty decent imo.

My SM8 48 just arrived. I’ll be comparing soon and circle back to let you know what I find.

Thanks. I have been alternating the 48 t200 with a 46 Vokey. (46, 50 and 56).

Like the thought process of subbing out the t200 (48) for the Vokey 46. Once warmer weather hits, I’ll look at the Vokey combo of 46, 50 & 54 or T200 (48) plus Vokey 50&54.
I just haven’t gotten a feel yet for the hotter t200 face vs current AP2s which are in the bag.

I went for a fitting at TPI in November and I ended up with T100's and a SM8 46.10F instead of the T100 PW. I am trusting my fitter, and we agreed that the Vokey would be more versatile and give me a more consistent feel for the shorter shots I am going to use it for, especially since I tend to use it a lot for chip shots around the greens. I didn't feel like I was giving up too much distance or forgiveness on the full shots either.

The SM8's just arrived this week and weather is still cold here in NJ, so I won't know for sure how this is going to work out until we get out on the course in another few weeks (hopefully). But looking forward to it!

I have the new T300 and use all the wedges in the set thru the W53 and the only Vokey wedge I have is the 50.12D, and the set up working fine for me. Think it all boils down to what works for each of us. Have tried numerous set ups over the years and at the ripe young age of 73, I am very happy with my game and set up. Hope to be back at it around April or May. I REALLY miss not playing and the fellowship. =(

For whatever reason I've never been that great with a 48 or 52 for that matter in the wedge style. Always preferred the iron set style through gap wedge, and then true wedge style for SW and LW.
