I bought the tour chrome, but I am getting oil can next time. I hate setting up for a 100 yard shot hoping to a good look for birdie with the setting sun blinding me by reflecting of my club. Tour Chrome is better at not reflecting then other chrome wedges but it will still blind you every now and then. I have started really digging the oil can look. Plus, they give you bag character. Either way you go it is a can't miss with a vokey spin milled.

I like mine because they look very non discreet in the bag, people almost perceive them as old POS wedges, then when you tuck all your wedge shots inside them they almost cant believe their eyes

I'd have to strongly agree with the sun in your eyes deal. I can't stand to have it shining in my eyes when i already have a hard enough time concentrating on my shot. Not to mention i'm a huge fan of the look, it was a solid buy for me. P.S: The spin is awsome !

Oil can. No question about it. I used to play chrome wedges but after playing raw wedges it's easy to understand the benefits from it over chrome. The sun is blinding without a raw finish and for someone like me that plays with an open face a lot having a raw finish is the only way to go. Besides, I dont like "pretty" clubs. LOL.

Chrome because its a more durable finish. Chrome wedges will wear at a slightly slower rate than raw or oilcan wedges.
Ive got a 56* Oilcan Vokey and I hate it. The club works great (even with rock-hard distance balls I get plenty of backspin), but its just so ugly. I mean, you pay $125 for a new wedge like that and it looks like you bought it at a yard sale. Not to mention the fact that even the slightest amount of moisture and they rust like crazy.
Ive also got a Vokey 60* in chrome and I dont have any problems with glare or with being blinded by light reflecting off the face.

I picked the tour chrome. They just look awesome.
The wedges coming out this fall will have another color I believe its called black nickel. They look beautiful also.

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By iacas · Posted

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…

      I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
