the new spin milled wedges are even better than the old ones.
i would stick with them because they are what you are used to.
i played with the old ones for last year, and then i wore them out, and i switched to the new ones at the end of the season, and they shaved 3 strokes off my handicap. At least consider them while you're looking.
Peace,

Again I will say try srixon. This brand gets no respect in the u.s. The ad333 have been proven to produce less spin off the driver and more spin off the irons and wedges than the PRO V1. And this ball costs less than half the cost of PRO Vs. Anyways sorry for the rant. I have compared mizuno, callaway, vokey and srixon. Srixon WG-504 is the best, for me because I don't tend to take divots so I kneed less bounce. And this wedge has a great grind on it. CHECK IT OUT

to clear up my first post i mean't to say how much will they be reducing the size / depth shape of the grooves like what is the new standard for grooves is it bake to the u grooves that come on most irons and to the srixon manic the ad33 is a great ball but the prov1 spins way more bud like way more the prov1 is like 11,890 spin the ad33 was 8,889 something close to that i know i have it right to the nearest hundred so nice try bud are you bye any chance a srixon rep haha

He's not a srixon rep, only his irons and wedges are srixon. Plus, he said that it spins LESS off of the driver, so those measurements if taken off a drive would only prove him right. And if you're looking at the Golf Digest test, those numbers aren't accurate. They say a Pro V1x spins more than a Pro V1, which is false. Please don't write with no punctuation and the word "like" so much, it just is confusing.

You know what confuses me: bad grammar. Please do not try to correct others when you mess up. This is a golf forum, not an English class. PM me if you want me to correct your grammar, punctuation, and word usage.

Those numbers are definately not off a driver. 8000 rpms and 11000 rms off a drive would be ridiculous. It would produce the highest ball flight ever. The numbers are probably off a 56*. If the test was done using a robot, then I trust the results more than a Srixon pro's opinion. I remeber reading that the Nike One Plantinum produces the most spin of any ball on the market. However, it is short when compared to others. To answer the OP's question...I would look at Vokeys. They are probably the highest played wedges on tour. (I'm sure that you could look this up.) You could probably search for golfers who do not have wedge contracts to see what they are playing. They will probably be playing the best wedges. However, they probably won't play SM Vokeys because they generate enough spin without the SM.

Feel Golf is the only company that I am aware of who's current grooves (modified V) conform to .....what will be..... the new USGA guidelines. If you want to test your game with a conforming wedge, you could give them a try. I bagged them for awhile last year and found them to perform nicely..... a very traditional, old school, design w/ no frills, but well designed.

Good luck,

Not a single golfer is paid for using a wedge from

Scratch Golf , yet a very significant number of pro's, from all the various tours, do ( #1 forged wedge on the Nationwide Tour ). I have 3 custom shop wedges and they are top of the line. Phenomenal wedges. Their 2009 offerings are really expanding and getting cheaper to boot. I strongly suggest that you give them a call. They will custom build a wedge for your game at a very competitive price.

      I have an update… I don't have much of a response, because the fact that they would ADD the numbers for the lead and trail shoulder together… I mean, wow. I was giving them too much credit. Nobody would think to assume they were doing THAT. That's beyond comical. One of the biomechanists I talked to put it this way: "So if I squatted down and went from 180 to 90 deg knee angle, then I would say 180 deg range of motion because I have two knees?" I'd type more (maybe), but honestly, I'm laughing a bit too hard. 🤣 Update: Mini Manavian blocked me on Instagram, so I cannot see his post showing Bryson with about 50° of range of motion (with a driver) from P4 to P7, and 75° only if you go out to the mid-follow-through. What a terrible loss for me. 😉

      Thanks, interesting to read. The swing is definitely very timing dependent. I hit it consistently I guess but consistently bad.

      Struggling With Volatility

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I've shot 91-74 on the same day before. Couple of years ago played a two round tournament on Bethpage Black. I shot 72 in the first round and 90 in the second. First round I played very well. Second round I played okay, but had about 5 shots that hit the lips of bunkers and bounced down into them. A couple of those wound up in footprints - I was unamused - and I failed to get them out. Anyway - lots of bunkers and my bunker play isn't great and then add a couple of footprints and me getting pretty tired and it added up to a lot.  Only you can really tell though what's causing the variance. It might be that your swing is very timing dependent and when it's timed well you play well and when it's not then it goes all over the place. In that case, some lessons and working on your swing could be the key. If it's more that you tend to feel like you hit it fairly consistently, but you have days where the shots come off and days where they don't, then that's more likely a course management issue. If that's what you need to work on, then you could read Lowest Score Wins and build a plan of attack based on that.  Rest assured though that a pretty big range from high to low is fairly common. Even PGA Tour players often have 18-20 shot spreads from best to worst rounds in a season. It's a common affliction among golfers.
