Which wedges are illegal?

[thedoxology]

I prefer Vokey wedges and want to replace my 52 as it is very old.

Are spin milled wedges being outlawed? I play in USGA recognized events and want to be sure to conform to the new rule.

Has anybody come across a definitive answer to the rule and which models it applies to? I did some looking online but couldn't find anything too straight forward.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Clubs manufactured prior to Jan. 1, 2010 that conform to current regulations will continue to be considered conforming to the USGA Rules of Golf until at least 2024. This includes clubs purchased after that date from manufacturers’ existing model ranges. (According to the Darrell Survey of consumer golf equipment only two percent of irons in use are older than 15 years.) So long as these clubs continue to be conforming they may be used for establishment and maintenance of a USGA Handicap Index.
