I was fit for a new set of CB irons and 910 woods recently. I went 1/4 inch short on all clubs for my order. Im now looking into the Vokey wedges. Should i also go 1/4 inch short on these or keep them at a standard length?

Other than length, did you change your lie angle?
When I was fitted for my AP2's this past winter, my PGA instructor/fitter cut and bent every iron I had in the bag which included my three Vokey wedges. I'm 1/2" short and 2 degrees flat on every iron (and wedge).
I was amazed at how much difference/improvement such an adjustment makes. Much better ball contact throughout the irons (including the wedges).
How tall are you Brad T? I know that makes some difference.
I thought i would have to go to a flatter lie angle before i did my fitting ( i am 5'9" tall) but the fitting showed that a standard lie angle was fine for me. sounds like i should probably stick with the 1/4 inch short on the wedges too then.

Most likely the same length, but be sure to have your lie angles checked on the wedges. Most players will fit a little flatter on their wedges than the lie angle on their 6 iron. 2* incorrect lie angle on a 56* wedge hit 90 yards will make the ball carry off line by 15 feet. This can be a big deal.
