    had my fitting on Monday at Manchester Lane and I'm getting ready to order my Vokeys. I am getting 54.14F and 60.11K. The fitter even worked with me on a few shots around the greens to help lower scores! My dilemma - should I get them in the Gold Nickel or Black Raw finish? I've already ruled out the Tour Chrome. Thoughts???? Steve

    I personally prefer the black finish on my wedges. I find it eliminates all of the sun reflections, which are a bit exaggerated with the more lofted clubs.

    I've always had the tour chrome.  I would go with the Gold Nickel.... good thing is both will look great.  Let us know what you get.

    My vote would be for the black! I'm not sure why but I've always preferred black wedges and black putter. I'm diligent about keeping my clubs clean some might even call it obsessed lol so if you're worried about rusting as long as you clean them regularly you won't have rust. I've had mine for a while not and there's not a spot of rust on mine! Can't go wrong either way!

    placed my order last night and kept with the initial thoughts and went with the Gold Nickel. I'm a lot like you, Jim S. in that I keep clubs clean. I have been carrying a wet towel for years to wipe clubs after shots and the ball on the green. Now is the hardest part (besides paying of course) - waiting for my special deliveries from Titleist!!!! Steve

    Steve,

    The vokey wedges are great, but i would go with the Gold Nickel. The Black finish tends to wear off over time even though it looks great.

    I like the Tour Chrome look. It's classic in it's appearance and who know... there might come a day when people look back and think... 'I can't believe I bought black golf clubs, what was I thinking'?!?

    I recently purchased a 50 and 54 in the gold finish and I really like the look of them the best.

    I'm not sure either, but I've always had the chrome and it was time for something new, so I ordered my new ones in Black. I do keep my clubs clean and don't keep wedges for an extended period, so I should be good either way. I have always loved the look of the black ones.
