I just bought my 52 and 56 a few weeks ago. Played a few rounds already, noticing some rust building up.

Anyone else experienced this with their 588 DSG this quickly?

Will the rust affect my play?
I've heard it creates more spin, but has this been actually proven?

Slowly building my set.

588's are supposed to rust in places, I think.

Mine's a DSG with RTG+ finish which is definitely designed to rust, and quickly. It'll just give more grip on the ball.

It's already like playing lawn darts. Great club. Maybe not as long as my Daiwa Hi-Trac 11, but more accurate from 50 to 90 for me.

they have a label on the wedges when you buy them new that they will rust and it will improve the performance of the wedges. And ive heard that from many people whove used rusted wedges as well.

In the Ogio Kingpin bag:

Titleist 913 D2 9.5* w/ UST Mamiya ATTAS 3 80 w/ Harrison Shotmaker & Billy Bobs afternarket Hosel Adaptor (get this if you don't have it for your 913)
Wilson Staff Ci-11 4-GW (4I is out of the bag for a hybrid, PW and up were replaced by Edel Wedges)
TaylorMade RBZ 5 & 3 Fairway Woods

Cobra Baffler T-Rail 3 & 4 Hybrids

Edel Forged 48, 52, 56, 60, and 64* wedges (different wedges for different courses)

Rust does not create or increase spin.

Keep your wedges dry.

The Cleveland 588 DSG Wedges are rusting in our golf store just from sweaty hands touching the backs of the heads. Not surprised at all that they are rusting after three rounds of golf...
