Vega Golf VWX Wedge Review

7.2 overall

The Bottom Line

Vega Golf VWX Wedge ranks 20th in our best golf wedges 2023 test. This wedge underwhelms across all three scoring metrics. And yet, its most glaring weakness is spin, especially in wet conditions. Have you ever seen a wedge spin less than 3000 rpm? Well, VWX does just that on average when moisture is present.

Pros

In dry conditions, VWX does an okay job with consistency and accuracy. But it is nothing to write home about.

Cons

VWX is the worst wedge in our 50-yard wet condition. When moisture is present, it loses over 60% of its spin.

Who’s It For

With its premium materials and superior craftsmanship, the VWX wedge offers consistent performance and durability, making it the go-to choice for serious golfers looking to enhance their short game skills.

Buy This If:

  • You need spin in dry conditions. Vega VWX is one of the highest spinning wedges overall

Don’t Buy This If:

  • You play in wet or damp playing conditions. Vega VWX is the worst wedge in wet conditions to date. It loses over 60% of its spin when moisture is present
