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
Woods: Burner 15* 3 Wood w/ Fujikura, stiffHybrid: 503H w/ Aldila NV, stiffIrons: 755 3-9 w/ Project X 5.5 shaftsPitching Wedge: MP-T 47*Gap Wedge: MP-T 51*Sand Wedge: MP-T 56*Putter: Rossa SienaBall: Laddie/Laddie...

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.

      Day 82: mirror work again tonight. Working on the same shoulder down and roll and twist stuff. Going on vacation tomorrow and putting the clubs down, so new streak starts in about 10 days!

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 44, June 17.  Today was some preliminary stretching, exploring what I'll want to set up as a regular routine (both while on vacation without clubs and when I'm back) (aside: this is part of an upcoming goal to stretch daily in a meaningful way, but I don't plan to count it as practice on days that I can meaningfully practice with a club)

      Too Old?

      By RetiredOldMan · Posted

      Having a rough week. Went to the Dr. because I was really weak and could hardly swing my driver.  I take Propranolol 20 mg tablets twice a day. Seems like the Propranolol was driving my pulse down (low 50's).  So we cut the dosage in half and I started taking my blood pressure. It was a little high but pulse came up.   Then yesterday I raised it to 15 mg tab by taking it 3 times a day. Blood pressure 127 / 77 Pulse 75.  Heading out tomorrow morning for 18 holes.    I have my driver set at 10.5* but seem to have my swing speed to low and I can't get the lift on the ball I need.  I have not played this week in hopes I will have the strength to raise my swing speed. I may have to raise my loft to 12* . (I will take my driver wrench) tomorrow. (This Parkinson's is a pain in the butt.)  Will give you a report when I get back.    Retired Old Man, Terry

      You still got to lift your arms. You basically just roll your wrist over in the 1st half of the backswing.
