I am looking to purchase some new wedges and would like to know what are the best spinning wedges? I'm sure this has been covered but I know a lot have changed for groove rules. I don't care about the rule change because I'm obviously not a pro but which ones are still old groves in 2010? If I ubderstand correct,the red vokeys are the old grooves? What else spins awsome that is not a gimick club (spin doctor etc).

Drivers: Taylor Made Burner 9.5 draw stiff shaft.
Woods: Nike SQ 13* strong 3 wood Steel X-Stiff
Nike SQ 5 wood steel stiff.
Irons: Adams Insight Xtd's.
Putter: Odyssey SRT 2 ball, and White hot #1 Balls: Callaway tour IX, Noodle+,or Callaway Hot Plus or any premium ball.Driver...

I think that the VR's are good, but not the dual cavity CC crap, or the Vokey Spin milled, and again, not the CC crap. The Cg15's are a maybe, but I honestly think that those little grooves don't make a difference. I also heard that the CG14's were crazy spinny, so give those a try.

In the bag:
Driver: 907 D2/Proforce V2 R-flex
Hybrid: Burner '07 3 Hybrid/Re-Ax Shaft/19* (4* draw bias)

Niki VR's are the spinnest wedges I've played.

I have used the Wilson TW9, Vokey and Cleveland CG15. The Wilson were solid but also a bit heavy, the Vokey's are very nice, but they feel dead.... I like the CG15 best ......

Many friends who tried my CG15's liked them better than their Vokey's.

For spin .... they are all almost the same.

Now here's a fine reason not to take the advice of strangers.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

I don't really think any wedge is going to give you much more spin, if any. If you're not spinning the ball, check contact first. My sand wedge has almost no grooves left, but I can still spin it just fine with good contact from a clean lie. Out of the rough, nothing is going to really be consistent, so asking which wedge spins the most, as you can see, will give you a multitude of different answers mostly based on preference and anecdotal information.

I would be more concerned with feel, fit, shape, and aesthetics than spin. I'd rather have a wedge that feels good and has the right bounce than one that gives me a few extra RPM of spin.

I know the Vokeys have red emblems for the amature wedges, but how do you tell which VR has the old grooves? Do they still make the VR'S in the 2024 rule grooves?

I like the cg15s, compared to my old adams(set wedges) they spin like crazy. However i have heard great things about the SM Vokey wedges too. I would just get whatever you feel best looking down at.

Anything with box grooves that you like will work just fine. I prefer Vokeys and Cleveland.

A couple of weeks ago I put a set of 48*, 58*, and 62* Callaway X-Forged wedges in my bag. 5 Rounds later and I couldn't be more pleased with my decision. The 58* and the 62* have the "C-Grind" soles and the "Mack-Daddy" grooves...great for all-around normal play, and if you come down on a steeper angle they will stop after one bounce and zip backwards 3 to 8 feet depending on how hard you swing. It REALLY makes a difference when your chasing that pin that is behind a bunker and you don't want to come up short and leave yourself in the sand. When you can hit it over the bunker and PAST the pin then spin it back it makes those shots a lot more fun to play!

I have CG15's and I prefer them now they are getting worn.

No joke, they span too much when I first got them.

Same as my pitching wedge.

Its more about the ball, the lie and the contact than anything else.

I have seen the club pro spin a 10 year old wedge that was fit for the garbage

    • StuM,  I have, in the past, added a left handed club. (Ususally a 7 iron) However, I usually take a stroke penalty and move the ball to where I want it.  I play for fun and in a pinch can use theback side if my club if I don't want the penalty stroke.    RetiredOldMan,  Terry 
    • So, Brendan Sorsby, Texas Tech transfer QB, was found guilty of sports betting by the NCAA. He admitted to it. He placed thousands of bets over multiple years while at Indiana and Cincinnati. This included betting on his own teams.  The NCAA rules ban athletes from betting on any sport (college or pro).  A retired visiting judge from Tarrant County, Texas has put an injunction on the NCAA ruling. He is a visiting judge because the first judge was a graduate and big fan of Texas Tech, and he recused himself. The judged ruled the following... "Under Curry's order, Sorsby is permitted to play for Texas Tech's 2026 season on the condition that he continues his treatment for a gambling and anxiety disorder and serves a two-game suspension (missing games against Abilene Christian and Oregon State)."  Don't get me wrong, I don't particularly care for the NCAA. That still doesn't mean that a college can choose when or where to say, "Yea we agree to these rules for all our sports, well except in this case." Here is a breakdown from S&W. The Hidden Weapon in Sorsby’s Injunction: How a Lubbock County Court Order Quietly Neutralized the NCAA’s Most Powerful Enforcement Tool - Law Offices of Snell & Wilmer By Ryan J. Regula On June 8, 2026, Lubbock County District Court Judge Ken Curry issued a temporary injunction in Brendan Sorsby v. National Collegiate Athletic Association, Cause No. DC-2026-CV-0791 (99th Judicial District... The main judgement made sense. Sorsby, I am going to have all this harm done to me if I don't get to play. The Judge, I agree. The penalty for gambling is too harsh, so here are all these things you must do, and I will grant this injunction against the NCAA. Basically, an analogy would be when a person goes into court for a DUI and they agree to all these other things to not end up in jail.  What sucks for the NCAA is the NCAA has appealed to Texas’ Seventh Court of Appeals, based in Amarillo. All four justices that preside over the court are graduates of Texas Tech University School of Law. It would be hilarious if all four of them had to recuse themselves 🤣. For those who like to read legal rulings...  
    • The chatter in my brain is when the distance is between clubs since I am pretty weak at shortened backswings, etc. I try to simply decide if being long or short is the better outcome and choose my club based on that and simply not even try for the “real” distance.  For me a full normal swing is what I strive for.
    • I saw this comment made in a golf article... "Most golfers stand over a 4- or 5-iron still negotiating with themselves. They think about how hard to swing, whether they have the right club, if they have the aim correct and more. It’s a lot to deal with and long irons punish the “half-in” golf swing." I am not sure the "most golfers" is correct regarding the bolded part. I can understand if there is a bunker, water, and/or OB that a lot of golfers would be fixated on that. I am not sure that leads to ending up more times there. Pending your level in golf, the variance is so large in outcomes, it could be just with in the expected outcomes. I can understand if have a big lake on the right side of the hole being one of the most terrifying shots for right-handed amateur golfers.  I am not sure many golfers are standing over the ball talking to themselves, "Ok, maybe I should step back and pull the 4-iron. Am I lined up right? Oh, the wind came up, should I swing harder? What am I going to have for dinner tonight, maybe steak. (Joking, somewhat 😛)" A question is that how much chatter do you get while standing over the ball. Are you questioning the everything about your golf shot?
