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.

MP600 10.5*

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

    • Wow, @DeadMan that is such a helpful breakdown of what’s around. Really excited to check a bunch of these out. Thank you. Will definitely go to Walnut Creek. Will also try and get a commonground tee time. Haven’t played many Doak courses yet! If your schedule frees up, let me know! 
    • Yeah. I'm not sure what Vishal is really talking about with the "constrained" COM. The club's COM doesn't really change much. Less than the body's does… We definitely apply force to the golf club to move it both translationally (linear force) and rotationally (torque) to the golf club. That's what Manzella's alpha/beta/gamma is all about. Even before they switched the reference frame from the global to the club-based one. 😉 
    • Any time you apply a force to an object that is not directly through the COM, you're applying a torque. Take a car for example. If a car is moving and you hit the brakes, the only contact point is on the ground. The brakes make the tires slow down which applies a force backwards at ground level. Since that force is not applied directly to the COM, it also applies a torque, which makes the car rotate forwards. The suspension at the front applies another torque upwards to fight against that twist (because the ground is in the way). You can feel the front end of the car dip when you brake. Then, when you stop braking and that force is no longer applied, the tires stop applying that torque to the car and the car feels like it rocks backwards as the suspension evens itself out. That's all torques being applied. Ignoring the twist forces applied to the club leaves you way short of being able to describe the motion. Otherwise the orientation of the club would never change.
    • I think you're getting into the coupling point or the couple of the hands, but that's a different ball of wax.
    • This will be interesting…
