I think what he is saying is that, you said you dont understand why people have rusty wedges. And he was just pointing out that they most likley have them because that is how the club was designed.

Sure, but I disagree with the interpretation of "designed to rust," even though I see how it's taken that way.

They're not so much "designed to rust" as they are just designed to be raw wedges with a slightly more attractive finish than "raw." I think "designed to rust" is often read or interpreted as "meant to rust," and that's where I disagree with the interpretation. After all, mine don't rust, and I just keep them dry. Just because they "will" rust doesn't mean you should rust them. As for which wedge to get, it really doesn't matter so long as you like how it looks. Like putters, a wedge with the same loft and bounce will perform fairly similarly, and a lot of it is confidence. The minor differences in spin can often be accounted for and you can get used to 'em.

So if I just keep my wedges dry, they won't rust? And if they do rust, will that makes all the clubs in my bag rust?

My local GolfUSA has OC Vokeys, and I really like the way they set up - although I really don't want to buy something that I have to care for like a child. My GolfUSA doesn't have the chrome vokey's either =[ I guess I'll wait for them to get some in.

Pretty much. Keep them in a cool, dry place when you're not playing golf. Wipe 'em off when you're playing golf. Keep 'em cool and dry and they can't rust.

Rust seems to "spread" like it's bacteria in a petri dish. If another club is touching a rust spot, it'll start to rust far more quickly than it should. So yeah, don't let rusty clubs touch other clubs.

I don't do anything with my OC Vokeys. I wipe 'em off after I use them, brush out sand if I used 'em from a bunker, and that's it. Y'know? I don't mean you need to keep a dessicant in your golf bag or something, just wipe 'em dry.

Thanks. I'll keep that in mind if I take that route.

Despite what everyone is saying, the nike sv is a great wedge, but the vokey is also a great wedge. I own both of them, the SV in a 52 degree and the Vokey in the 56, i feel like i have more control with the SV, so the vokey is sitting in my garage while the 3 wood is enjoying my bag. The SV is in my bag, its in Tigers Bag, its in all the nike professional altheletes, which make it the most winningst wedge in golf, seriously. Titleist makes a better ball than they do a wedge. But u need to demo them. The SV is a lighter wedge while the vokey is heavier. Also, check out the new ping wedge, people have been raving about those. Its up to you.

Thanks for the info Iacas. My dad had a gap wedge, 52 degree, he still loves it, but it was the oil can model and it rusted...after seeing that I was going to go with the Chrome ones because of that...but now that I know how to care for them I may go with the Oil Can.

You can close this if needed. I went with a chrome Vokey Spin Milled 54.10, and 58.08. I'm also getting a Callaway X Forged Vintage 64* soon.

Thanks everyone for your opinion. If it was possible, I'd give you all +rep! :D

Flop, I just did the exact same thing. I got the oil can, but either way, you will be happy. I am demoing the Callaway 64 degree today. I will PM you the info when I am done on my thoghts.

To be honest, I'm selling a TON of stuff on eBay. I sold my Nintendo Wii, about 30 Xbox 360 games, to get my new SQ driver, I sold my R7 Draw.

That, and my parents are paying some, mininimal, but some. Oh, and I'm buying all of these wedges, used, in "fine" condition from 3balls.

Personally I have owned both. Had 52 & 60° Vokey spin milled wedges. I loved them. They both hit crisp & had great feel & control. But had back problems that has unfortunately taken me from the game for last 2 years. During this time I thought my golf playing days were over & I sold my Vokeys. Well my back hasn't healed & it never will but it is getting to were I'm going to try & play the game I love most of the time! Again. Well as every avid golfer knows you have to have a nice wedge to play the game. Just a few days ago went into Dicks sporting goods & they had a great deal on the NIKE SV Tour wedges. So I grabbed the 52° 10. I can't compare yet on how they hit. But as far as weight & feel with out hitting the ball I'm very excited to get the oppertunity to play it.
