I'm thinking about getting a 56* with some xmas $$$, and since I have a tough time generating spin with my swing, I need some advice on which wedges give you the most spin.

NVG2 UT 17* Fujikura Triple Action

i think golf digest just talked about this recently. the wedge that puts the most spin on the ball are the spin-milled titleist vokey wedges.

Driver: Titleist 907 D2 10.5 UST Proforce V2 75
3-wood: Titleist PT 906 F2 15 UST Proforce V2 85
Irons: Titleist 695 MB 3-PW Dynamic Gold Stiff
Wedges: Titleist 56 Vokey, 60 Vokey Spin Milled
Putter: Titleist Scotty Cameron Pro Platinum Newport 2 Mid-Slant (2000)

I recently picked up the Ping Tour W Wedge and they are great in terms of look, feel and spin. I'd give them a try.

hi,

i have 3 Vokey wedges in the bag. 48 PW (Oil Can Rusted), 56 SW (Chrome) and a 60 LW (Oil Can Rusted).

I get a LOT of grip and spin from both the SW and the LW.

I would suggest grabbing a 60. But remember, open that stance right up. Also, a stiff shaft helps.

In my opinion it's got to be the Titleist Vokey spin-milled.

When I tried them out it felt like they were tearing the 1st layer of the ball off!

As far as I know it's Vokey Spin Milled wedges. But has anyone had any experiences with Japanese wedges like Yururi, Chikara, etc?

Yes Japanese wedges do have a great spin factor . Aside from having square grooves some have their club faces deep milled for that extra grab on the ball . Kinda expensive but they are worth it . Yururi came out with a Black oxide looking wedge a year or two ago . These are tour inspired and if you can get hold on one of these you are going to bring your short game another notch .

Swing mechanics , club face , ball contact , loft factor/bounce . These are some of the facts to consider . For plays requiring you spin the ball back a couple of feet try using the bounce of the club head . Meaning , try to hit down on the ball with a complete follow through making a divot in front of the ball rather than at the back . To stop the ball dead you can flop the ball with a divot on the exact spot where the ball lie and complete the follow through . Thats what i did according to David Leadbetter and it works .

I agree! I picked up a Tour-W 60/8, it is awesome, drop and stop or check and spin back, this club can do it....but then again, i'm biased, i'm a Ping Ho

I heard the X-tours with the mack-daddy grooves are suppose to be pretty SICK!!! I have a 60 without the MD grooves only because the bounce I wanted doesn't come with the MD grooves.

I have heard stories that the grooves can take chucks out of the softer balls, like the HX-tour and Pro V's.

      This Putting Product Actually Seems Like it May Have Some Value.

      By snapfade ·

      I always get adds for "Find your Eastern European Soulmate" I think it's a nifty gadget to have at home. If your going to do a dedicated putting session I could see setting it up. Thanks for sharing.

      Here's the bet. Assuming the pursuit of a Tour card holds, who wins their first Tour event? Charlie, or this Russell kid? Bet is off if Miles Russell signs with LIV.

      Strategy on Neshanic Valley Ridge #2

      By billchao ·

      It seems like too much work for me. I'm actually surprised at myself for spending as much time on this as I already have. Shot Scope tells me my shots to finish with a 7i is 0.1 better than with my 50 or 55 so I'm just going to go with it. Actually, I tend to be the complete opposite. I've never faced a shot I'm convinced I can't hit. It leads to great heroics and complete flops. Conservative for me might just be someone else's normal.

      And like Matt said, and I have hinted at… it's ONE ROUND. Because you have to get hot. Better players than him failed to get through. And… Peaked too soon, perhaps. He could also get injured, get surpassed, lose interest or lose his game… Again, if I trusted y'all to uphold the bet, and if the bet wasn't basically a 15-year proposition… I'd bet y'all. The odds are against him, and heavily so. So… he didn't qualify, and he's playing on a sponsor's exemption. Jordan Spieth was 16 years old when he tied for 16th in a PGA Tour event… and I realize that mentioning Jordan Spieth (who has obviously had a lot of success) seems to argue against my point, but Spieth is the exception and he did better at only a year older than this fella. The odds are strongly against him.
