What is the best lob wedge on the market for the most spin?

I am guessing the vokey spin milled?? Maybe the new ZIP grooves too??

The vokey spin milled is a great one...I have one and it can really back the ball up. I haven't hit any wedges with the zip grooves yet, so I can't tell you which performs better.

In the bag:


Driver: Tour Burner 9.5* w/ Aldila VS Proto stiff shaft

I guess the Spin Milled and the GC Zip's are the most popular.

I find that the spin milled cut my ball up too much, i now prefer the oil-cans.

But, i think my next wedges will be the Taylor Made TP Satins
Driver: Callaway Diablo Edge Tour 10.5* (UST Proforce v2 77g X Flex) 3 Wood: Callaway Diablo 15* (UST Proforce v2 86g S Flex). 2 Hybrid: Adams A4 Tech 17* (UST Proforce v2 105g S Flex). 3 and 4 Hybrid: Adams Idea Pro 20* and 23* (UST Proforce v2 105g S Flex)
Irons: Tour Edge Exotics...

The Vokey spins more than the CG w/ zip... but the CG's spin pretty good. Also, maybe consider the Callaway Forged w/ mack daddy grooves... never hit one, but I would assume they spin pretty good.

Those tear up your ball SO FAST.

You'll probably get the most spin with and cg zip grooves, vokey spin milled, rac z tp, or callaway md grooves. I've heard that the md grooves rip up balls the worst (initially) and I would put my money on them for most spin but really I think you're talking about very small differences in spin between these. I would check your ball and your technique too. Those are probably more important in creating spin.

the callaways spin really good, but they chew up the ball with the MD grooves.

well I guess that settles that... sounds like they shred 'em up pretty good. I still want to try them one day, but I'm sure I'll stick with cleveland. They really shred balls worse than new vokey sm?

I have used the Vokey Sm, Cleveland CG-12 Zip and Cally mack daddy and all spin great but chew up balls. I am now playing the Ping Tour-W wedges and get the same amount of spin but doesn't shread balls like the others.

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
