Has there ever been a “Bob Vokey What’s in My Bag”? I’d love to see that.

I didn’t quite understand his “Vokey wedge 9-iron.” If he has a 48-degree wedge (a strong gap wedge apparently) what is the Vokey that is stronger than that? The strongest standard Vokey is a 46. Did he bend a 46 to 44? (I am naturally wondering about the entire loft gap settings on the new Tour Concept that Bob was talking about in his bag. I would not be surprised that they are strong; and it continues to make me think that with stronger lofts in irons, and with flexible faces in those irons, there will be more and more calling for Vokey to offer stronger lofts in his wedge lines.

Wedges are the lowest tech clubs in the bag….loft and bounce combos are all there is to them, same as last 40 years.
