I am buying some new Vokeys but am debating if I want to get the spin milled wedges. Do any of you have them and if so do they really spin alot more, because I have quite a bit of spin now and wondered if they would spin the ball to much?

I have heard Charley Hoffman (on tour) say that the spin milled wedges spin too much for him. He said the only way he would switch is at a U.S. Open where the greens are like cement.

I also noticed that your in Michigan,(probably go down to Flordia for winters......LUCKY!!! )

Here in Michigan you really don't need that extra spin, the greens are usually soft and the ball checks quickly. I play at Sunnybrook C.C., the greens are kept in great conditions and roll quicker that alot of the other courses in the area and the ball still checks quick.

I carry a 58* Vokey Spin Milled Oil Can and I can say that it does spin more, for a high spinning player, maybe a negative. I also carry a 52* Vokey Oil Can that is not spin milled and I love it too. Another deciding factor for you might be the fact that the spin milled wedges have a thicker topline . Either way you'll get a great wedge.

Thanks. Yes I do go to Florida for winter :) but I am back and am freezing except for the last week its been ok. I have a couple older Vokeys but the grooves are worn. Im afraid the spin milled will be way to much spin so Ill just get some 200 series. How do you like the oil can finish? How does the whole rust thing with those work? Anyone on tour playing with oil cans?

The rusting on both of my wedges is actually really cool.

The back side of the wedge (the side you don't hit with) will rust up and the face will rust up a little. When the face rusts you get slightly more spin and a softer feel. Just make sure that you clean the face every 3-4 rounds and your golden.

I would say that a majority of people on tour use the oil can finish on their vokeys, like I said it provides a softer feel which some tour players crave for.

If you've never tried oil can, I highly recommend them and are worth giving a try.

By the way, how do you like your 905R driver? I am buying a new driver this year and when I demoed it I loved it. Any Pros/Cons would be greatly appreciated.

I absolutely love my driver. It doesnt seem to be a huge brick on a stick for a 460cc driver. I have no problems working the ball and it works well for me. I had to get a very stiff shaft though, I ended up getting the Fujikura Pro95 which is really heavy and stiff.
