Don't understand what you need help with. There are plenty of top name brand wedges that give plenty of spin. Vokey, Cleveland, Callaway, Scratch, and so on. Just need to hit them and figure out which one fits you. Ball is also very crucial for spin.

Yeah, but in the end you will end up spending more on lost balls.

If you have the money, look at the ones mentioned above.

Sumo 10.5*
R7 Draw 15* 3W
3dx 17* 2H
Pi5 3-PW
Spin Milled Vokey 54* CG11 60* C-01

I love my cleavland, its great. Vokeys are also very nice.

I used to have a purespin a while ago, if you keep those clean they have tons of spin. But as said its mostly the ball...

To prove this, I carry in my Bag PV1's, and DT carrys, 9/10 times from 70 yards Ill stick a ProV1 on the green no problem, DT carrys 9/10 times roll off.

My Callaway has tons of spin.

In regards to balls. I highly highly recommend the prov1 practice from TGW. They are 26-30 bucks and are great. Premium ball for medium price.

I am a recent but huge fan of Cleveland wedges. I got a set of 588's with DSG in Gunmetal from a golf store on Ebay for $209. That was 60 deg lob, 56 deg sand, and 52 deg gap. Just amazing wedges. I can feel the weight in the swing of the clubhead. I have never hit a wedge so consistently. Just fantastic wedges. Edwin Watts or Golfsmith had these for $69/each as well. About the same deal I got on Ebay. I say get the whole set. These are top notch wedges man. No question about it.

Link to the set.. The guy also has the sand and lob listed for $139. I got the set of three (L-S-G) for $209.

For balls that will spin without paying $40-45/box for Pro V1's or Srixon Z-stars, look at the below balls. All had great reviews in the recent Golf Digest "Hot Balls" article...

Topflite Gamer
Srixon Soft Feel (great ball I have played it myself)
Pinnacle "Feel"

All are $20/box

I love my ping Tour-W wedges. Not really because I think they're the best wedges for the money (in fact I'm pretty sure that they aren't), but rather because they look and feel like an extension of my S58 Iron set. That means a lot to me. All the clubs looking and feeling the same/similar. I've only used them for one round so far, but I couldn't be happier with the results. Never has my short game been in such good nick.

I'm very easily distracted and put off. One less thing to worry about as far as I'm concerned is a consistent look to the club, when you're over the ball.

In the bag:

Driver: 975D 10.5° True Temper EI-70 Stiff (Alternate 8.5° Titleist Stiff Graphite Shaft)
Fairway Woods: 975F (2 From) 14.5°, 18.5° True Temper EI-70 Stiff, 20.5° Titleist Stiff Graphite Shaft
3Iron-PW: S58 Dynamic Gold S300 ShaftsGap Wedge: Tour-W 54/10 Nickel...

    • I've played the Tour in both white and yellow.  They play well and seem to hold up pretty good even when running into trees or cart paths.  Right now, I've been trying them against the Bridgestone Tour B RX ball and I really like both.  The Snell 3.0 looks to be a great update to the issues Snell was running into with the previous generation.

    • Day 128: 5/3/24 Spent 10 minutes chipping and putting at The Creek golf course after visiting a relative.  Greens are slow, and I putted quite well. Perhaps I should seek courses with much slower greens!
    • Not to take away from the OP's question but the Snell 3.0 is about all you could ask for in a ball. I'm not a paid spokesman and my opinion does not reflect on the owner of the site. Lexi Thompson could beat most people with a Top Flite, or a Nitro. Ben Griffin? He doesn't offer a lot of street cred so I'll pass. Now if Fat Perez or Heavy Ballesteros start using it then?????? 😀
    • Just read that Peter Oosterhuis passed away. He was the one and only celebrity I have asked for an autograph! In September 2007, I was in the Charlotte Airport awaiting a flight reading my October 2007 Golf Magazine. It was during the FedEx playoffs and Tiger had just won the previous tournament with the Tour Championship the next event. I watched the event listening to the dulcet tones of Peter Oosterhuis, among others. I opened the magazine, and started reading an article about Oosterhuis and the opening picture had him posing as James Bond in a movie’s opening sequence. I looked up from the article and he was sitting directly across from me!    I approached and showed him the article and asked if he would sign the photo. Mr. Oosterhuis asked “Are you keen on golf?” When I responded positively, we spoke for about 10 minutes discussing the fact that both Phil and Tiger had won FedEx events prior to the Tour Championship. He was very gracious and a wonderful storyteller. I was saddened by his battles with dementia and missed him on CBS’s telecasts.
