I have a number of Vokey wedges but my all time favorite is my old 400 series 456-14. I have never been able to find a 56 degree that feels or plays the same. What would be the current Vokey model/grind that is similar?

Paul,
Tough to find something in our current line that has a similar profile to the 400 series. They were very round compared to the SM5 and TVDs. The TVDs are a little more compact in size compared to the SM5, which would put them closer looking to the 400 series, but there will still be a noticeable difference in head shape. A major difference you will notice will come from spin and launch when you compare the older grooves in the 400 series to the newer conforming grooves in both the TVDs and SM5.
A couple models to try would be the TVD K 56* or the 56.14F. Keep in mind that you will want to match the wedge bounce to the type of course conditions and swing style you are. This means, if you are a slider/sweeper, you may want to consider less bounce.
