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:

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

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.

    • Day 206 3-11 Focused on wider backswing and reconnecting arm in downswing. Wasn't really happy with how swing was looking today. Wider backswing is very different for me. Went back to do a some longer pauses at the top. Hit a few foam balls. 
    • This is an awesome breakdown. most of the bigger tournaments usually have one wave with the advantage, Thank you for the breakdown. If it is soft then it will be a lower final score
    • Over the past 15 years, the winning score has ranged from -10 to -20. Mostly around -13.  Here is Thursday and Friday weather. Saturday and Sunday weather. I think the course will play soft. Plenty of sky cover, lots of rain on Thursday. Fairways and greens will probably stay soft throughout the week.  In terms of tee times, I think Thursday morning and Friday afternoon have the biggest advantage. I bolded the big group of each set.  Most beneficial with the weather Round 1: No. 1 tee, Round 2: No. 10 tee 7:40 a.m., 12:30 p.m.: Mark Hubbard, Thorbjørn Olesen, Mac Meissner 7:52 a.m., 12:42 p.m.: Bud Cauley, Vince Whaley, Chandler Phillips 8:04 a.m., 12:54 p.m.: Emiliano Grillo, Christiaan Bezuidenhout, Max Greyserman 8:16 a.m., 1:06 p.m.: Kevin Yu, Cam Davis, Gary Woodland 8:28 a.m., 1:18 p.m.: Ricky Castillo, Ryan Gerard, Patrick Cantlay 8:40 a.m., 1:30 p.m.: Adam Schenk, Garrick Higgo, Matt McCarty 8:52 a.m., 1:42 p.m.: Brian Harman, Maverick McNealy, Davis Riley 9:04 a.m., 1:54 p.m.: Sami Valimaki, Lucas Glover, Matt Fitzpatrick 9:16 a.m., 2:06 p.m.: Michael Brennan, Harris English, J.T.

    • Things that I am or have worked on... 1.    Trail Elbow - Check 2.    Hip Turn - Check 3.    Rolled Inside - Check 4.    Wide Takeaway - Check 5.    Sway and Tilt - Nope, but I did a hip turn and tilt 🤣 I am giving myself 4.5/5 for my long backswing.  Great post! 
    • We have a very difficult but mostly showy course this week. Lets see what they got. This course offers so many chances to get into trouble it is really a mental minefield. I am excited to see who can handle it and who cant. Last year we got a foreshadowing of JJ and Rory, I am excited for this year Who do people have winning? what will the winning score be? I am thinking 12 or 13 under
