Right now i have an old 53 degree cleveland but the grooves are really worn and it is harder to spin the ball. So i was thinking of getting a new wedge. Have any of you guys tried the zip grooves? Do they make that much of a difference?

I have heard good things about the zip grooves. They are supposed to compete with the Titleist Vokey spin-milled wedges which I have personally used and they spin magnificently.

I'm not yet at the point in my game when I can consistently put the spin I want on the ball, but I have my moments. The other day with my CG14 GW I had a lie in pretty deep rough about 75 yards out it took a bounce and stopped- I'm pretty sure I couldn't do that without this wedge. From what I've heard the zip grooves don't give more spin then the Spin Milled, but they give more consistent spin out of varying lies.

I like my wedge very much, it's worth checking out.

I love my CG14's. The polymer insert isn't for the classic look players, but I like the feel it gives to the club, especially on off center hits. I tried some spin milled Vokeys and the Clevelands before buying and there is a spin difference, but not huge. The Vokey did give marginally more spin, but it also tended to chew up a ball. The Cleveland gets a little bit less spin, but it is still very consistent and playable with a lot of control, and doesn't rip apart a soft covered ball. I liked the bounce on the CG's better than the Vokey out of the sand, and am able to spin it out of the bunker. Overall, I'd reccomend them to anybody.

what degree vokey and cleveland were u using? My problem is that i can hit a low firing pw that checks up a little and then trickles to the hole. However i cant use this on close shots. Ive been using my gap wedge and since it worn no spin. Im always flying the ball by the hole and its killing me.

I use a 52, 56 and 60 CG14. The Vokey I compared it to was a 56/14 same as the cleveland.

See I heard that the Titleist chewed the ball less than the Cleveland. But it's great to hear it from someone that has used both. I wanted to buy the Cleveland more seeing that I'm trying to go all Cleveland.

By the way if anyone is looking for a nice putter (Taylormade Monza Corza) I'm looking to get ride of.

I bought a CG-14 56 degree cause I didnt get a sand wedge with my cally x-18 set. After playing a couple rounds with it I replaced my stock x-18 pitch with a CG-14 48 degree, and eventually got a 52 and a 60. Needless to say, I love my CG-14's.

    • Day 66: Played 18! Wasn't really keeping track of score, but guessing in the low 80s. Driving okay, iron play up and down, lagging putting really bad. Overall, it was good to get out and play. 
    • Day 41 - 2026-01-30 More backswing and grip work on the mat / net. Also some mirror time focused on trail weight.
    • Day 12 (30 Jan 26) -  Had hoped the men’s group would be playing, but the cold temps and delayed opening kept them at bay. Spent some time on the range working on loading the trail foot on the backswing (focusing on loading the inner portion of the foot and collapsing the knee slightly toward the ball). Learned too much really brought on a left pull.  Easing back a bit, really helped compressing the ball and overall accuracy.  Took it to the course for a practice round, focusing on this small change.  Saw better dispersion across the bag….guess this will be part of the mirror work drills as snowpacolypse 2 hits eastern NC. 
    • I’d go with the Titleist if you liked the look of the blades but were suffering with distance. They should be a little more forgiving than a full blade and still retain some workability. Also remember to consider the shafts each have as this will be a big contributor to how they feel. Clemsonfan is right though… get fit or spend a bit of time on a launch monitor 🤙
    • Day 28: 2026.01.30 Managed to make time for a few swings out back today. Need a proper bit of range time this weekend.
