I recently got a Vokey Oil Can 60.08 that I like as far as the fairway shot goes. However, it is not very versatile on hardpan, hard bunkers, flop shots, and other tight lies. The flange is very long and there is no relief in the heel or toe. I have been looking at different wedge grinds and it looks to me like the C grind and the M grind are what I am looking for. They relieve some area from the back of the flange, the heel, and the toe. So here are my questions:

-What are the differences between a C grind and an M Grind?
-Are these grinds a good option to make my wedge more versatile?
-Where are some places that I can get something like this done?

FP400f 14.5* w/ GD YSQ
Idea Pro 18* w/ VS Proto 80s
MP FLi-Hi 21 w/ S300
CG1 BP w/ PX 6.0 SM 54.11 SM 60.08 Sophia 33"

i guess it comes down to personal preferencen and what works well for you!

personally > i like minimal grind on my PW and LW, but i recently ground down my 56 degree from 12 degrees to 5 degrees to bring it into line with my other two vokeys (see signature.) - i ground it myself at my friends dad's engineering workshop with a low-grit grinder. it took me 5 mins.

I think it's funny that it seems like grinding a wedge is such mysterious art and science. Just get rid of the part that gets in the way. Our local course gets very hard sometimes and the heel of my 60 had to go away to be able to open the face and get under the ball. I just used a bench grinder (dipping in water so as not to overheat)to get rid of the bulk of it, a belt sander to smooth out the curve, and a flap wheel disk on a 4 1/2 inch side grinder to finish it out. If you want it to shine you can go to a buffing wheel next but I figured that it wouldn't shine for long anyway so stopped with the flap wheel. Of course I had these tools anyway.
It just took a few minutes. The longest amount of time was spent changing the wheel on the little sidegrinder.

    • Current state of the program.  I can only do 25-50% swing speed, probably under 50% since I was hitting the ball out to the 150 yard marker (yay!),  to get the arms down and somewhat turn the body through impact. I mean somewhat. Arms down + body turn don't like to mesh at all. Anything faster and the body does stupid uncoordinated stuff. Mostly, I am stuck in the old pattern of staling the turn and flipping at the ball.  So, until I see progress. I am not posting anything here. 
    • Thanks for the video! Do you think a ball between the arms type of training aid would get me in a better position? I also have a Tour Striker Swing Trainer (PlaneMate-like contraption) if that could be helpful.    
    • There are some little things here and there — the shoulder turn is a bit flat, and the arms move around you a bit too much too. Take a look at this video:
    • I've developed a serious case of the shanks and difficult to control push fades/slices with my irons lately. I used to draw my irons pretty consistently. I currently most draw driver. Also, I don't like how my elbow sometimes pops out from down the line, especially with driver and/or if I'm trying to hit it harder. I can control the elbow a lot better with irons, but quite difficult to have good contact and speed while controling it on driver.
