sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I'd appreciate some clarification from those with more knowledge than me on this topic, and figured it's a better idea than opening a new thread.

If you own a Vokey Spin-Milled Oil Can (heck, any oil can finish wedge), do you find that if you keep it dry that It will stay in good condition? What is your average life span? My CG10s are on thier last legs and I've decided on Spin-Milled based on past experience, but am not sure which finish to get. I'm not fond of the black chrome, so its down to Tour Chrome and Oil Can. TC is close to what I've always played, but the Oil Can intrigues me. I like the look, but cannot afford to buy new ones every 6-12 months.

I've read up enough to know that the virtual raw finish of the Oil Cans won't likely be making any 'feel' differences [that I will be able to notice, at the very least], but I like the look better. But if it comes down to it, if the Tour Chrome will last as long as my CG-10(close to 2 years now), and Oil Can is significantly less I think my decision will be for longevity rather than novelty.

If you own a Vokey Spin-Milled

I have 3 Titleist wedges, 1 is raw, 1 is oil can. The oil can is 3 years old, the raw is about a year and a half old, they both still perform like new. I sharpen the grooves occasionally and replace the grip whenever it needs replacing. That's about it for maintenance. Rust is really not an issue, I wipe them whenever. I love the look of the raw finish. You will not be replacing these clubs every 6-12 months. I play lots of golf and when I do practice, it's mostly with these wedges. Don't worry about the longevity of these finishes or the durability of the clubs.

    • Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.  
    • I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on. 
    • I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
    • Day 128 12-18 Worked on rotation and getting to lead side. Still working on the flow feeling while doing that. Recorded swings. 
    • IMO-the only thing entertaining was the relay race. Everything else was excruciatingly boring...or just  stupid, like the 14-club thing. Watching guys blade wedges into the water over and over is not at all interesting.
