I have some rust forming and just want to know what is the best way to get rid of it and how I can store them without getting more rust on them. I also want to make sure the cleaning isn't hard on the spin milled face and grooves. Thanks in advance!![/quote] Go buy some metal polish for shining aluminum rims. Mothers works great, clean the surface of the wedge with some steal wool or a scotchbrite pad, then polish the wedge until it shines like a new penny. Ive been ploishing my 56 Vokey since a week after I bought it, to me it looks better than the treated clubs. I do it every time I get home from golf so rust wont build on it and stays looking great and I believe the polished surface helps with friction, espescially around the fringe and on tight lies in the grass. micah said on October 8, 2007:

I chamged to the srixon z stars. i recently got a 54•14 and a 58•04 in th oil can and by far these are the best wedges i have ever used. i used to us the RAC y cutter wedges and on 70 yard shot with a 60 degree they hopped then stopped. but now with my spinmilled vokeys i can get it to spin in which ever direction i want. i just played a round with my TM TP reds and pro v1x and it spun back with both balls. but i also noticed that my balls wore down after 3 holes. but if ur planning to get new wedges get the spin milled and some durable balls.

After four or five shots the evidence of the spin was apparent, lots of white shavings on the end of the damp club. Never had a wedge that tears up range balls before.

I hit a shot about 60 yards out on the 14th hole I've played with it, and it spun back into the hole! : ) I tried out my 56 degree Vokey SM and I have to say it is amazing.

They all have square, milled grooves and they'll stay in the bag until I wear them out. But, given the USGA's anal retentive effort to punish mainly average golfers via the V groove rule, I am shopping for replacements w/ square grooves for the 60/56/52 wedges and the Titleist Vokey Spin Milled are my choice for my next set. I tested them and they are as good or better than the excellent wedges I own. I'm not about to buy $4 soft-cover balls just so I can play with V grooved wedges. My $1 ball with the square grooved wedges backs up, drops & stops and and does the one-bounce checkup routine. If you plan to golf several years beyond 2010, some square grooved replacements will be a good investment this year.

I bought a 56.10 today, and then I was thinking of picking up another Wedge (probably a 60 degree) in the near future. I have Callaway x20s, and the highest club I have is a Pitching Wedge (46 degrees). Also, the courses I play are 50/50 when it comes to softness/crispness of the grass. I play on a golf team, and travel to different golf courses all the time. (some were swamps) On the other hand, our home course is very crisp, and lacks a lot of bunkers (there are probably 3 that are a risk). Should I get a 60 degree SM to add on to the collection? If so, what bounce (4 or 8). I have a fast club speed, and use stiff flex shafts in general. I also tend to slice the ball a lot.

I "obiously" went to titleist when i got my new wedges. I went with the 56 for sand, and the 62 for my green side knock down club. I am really impressed with both of the clubs, and overly impressed with the impact the 62 had on my green side abilities. I am aprox. a 5 handicap, so by no means am i a pro, but coming from a guy that has hit a ball or two in his day... i will never play another brand and would recommend these to anyone!
