What I want to know is how different identically designed wedges can be with just a different name on it.

I'd guess the most common among them might be 56 degrees loft and 10 degrees bounce. Can you say, "generic?"
In a blindfold test, (provided you could hit the ball blindfolded), how much difference can there be?
I'm looking for some magical lob wedge, not that I've been able to hit anything between 58 and 60 degrees adequately before, (read: didn't pratice enough), so is it worth spending money for a Vokay, or should I save money and buy what's on sale? |
Hitting blindfolded I like to see that. I'm looking around at club at the moment and I agree a lot of wedges do look the same and feel pretty similar to swing. So is there much different between the big name ones and cheaper ones that look pretty much the same??
