I've been generally using the pitching wedge that comes with a set.  At this point I have Eye 2 green dot irons and the PW has a 50 deg loft (don't need a gap wedge). 

The Vokey 48 has a shaft length of 35.75" vs the standard length of 35.5" for most PW.

I would actually have to try a Vokey PW.

I agree.

I'm curious about people's experience with spin differences. I haven't had a chance to compare my 2 week old MB 710s to my Spin Milled 48.06. The MB W is 47° with 8° of bounce. Due to buying at different times and various adjustments, my 48.06 is also 1/4" longer than the MB wedge. My Vokey wedge is usually good for about 130 yards. Like I said, I don't know about the MB wedge.

Given the MBs have conforming grooves and the Vokey does not, I figured I'd keep my spin and leave the MB wedge home. It's never left the house, but now I'm wondering. Right now, my Vokey usually leaves the ball a bit behind or within a yard of the ball mark.

Sounds like a trip to the range is in the works...

I have been working through this dilemma of the Vokey 48 vs PW and here are a few thoughts.  First to make the yardage gap consistent from my 9I to my GW Vokey 50 bent to 51, I bent the 48 to 46.

I then went out and tested the PW vs the Vokey for full shots, 3/4 shots, bump and run shots and pitch shots. 

Overall the PW from my iron set did go a few yards farther (approx 5 yards) but I was more comfortable with the vokey on 3/4 and the finesse type shots.

My perception is the PW is the extension from the irons to the wedges and the Vokey is the extension of the wedges to the irons. (Hope that makes sense)

I will gladly give up a few yards for more consistency and control around the green and 110 yards and in.

It comes down to what I can score better with and which one I have confidence in for the less than full shots. I also have found the ability to flight down my 9I and hit the shot the iron set PW would cover. ( I like this shot a lot and prefer it to a full PW ;-)

Cheers,

if you don't get the same distance you could always get a 46* or even bend your 48*.

I am certainly not trying to disagree with RC, but in my experience, I have found that the spin milled does indeed go shorter than my other "P".  I have a set of 735.CM's as well as a 48 spin milled Vokey.  The "P" of the 735's flies longer than the Vokey Spin Milled by a few yards.  I chalked it up to the spin milled face and sharper grooves (as it is newer) which generates more spin.  More spin = less distance...Of course, I that is with a full swing of the club.  Most of the shots I hit with the 48 are not full swings, so I do like the added spin that the Vokey provides.  

i play with a 48 degree wedge and i cant hit it as far as my normal pitching wedge

i was using a set of r9 irons..with cg14 wedges.. i wanted all my wedges to be the same weight so after searching for weeks i found one on ebay. i could hit the r9 pwedge 115-125. the other 48 however would barely make 100 swinging w all the might... having to use it like a driver. but the r9 would be back in my stance and land, 2 bounce and stop... i think it makes a huge difference. The craziest part however, is that the r9 PW was 47 degrees...but just that bit of extra weight made a 20 yard difference

Here's something.....  I have a Eye 2 green dot PW (50 deg loft) and I actually hit it almost 120 yards (it stops on a dime too). The Eyes Q3I and Black Cat PWs that I had would barely make 110 and these were 47 degree wedges.  I also had a 588 gap wedge that I could hit almost 110 yards.

Wedges like Vokeys or CG15s are designed for spin.  The PW and SW  in an iron set are designed more for distance.   Another case in point was the Q3I sand wedge vs the SV Tour I currently use - I could hit the Q3I about 10 yards farther than the SV Tour but had an easier time hitting bunker shots with the latter.
