I bought one the other day and just noticed that it doesn't have the little spin milled symbol on it. Did I get ripped off or what?

Vokey makes/made wedges that are not spin milled, like the Tour Chrome.  These days, though, it seems that almost all you hear about Vokey are his spin milled wedges, and for good reason.  They are great.

If you haven't hit the wedge, you could always return it, but the non-spin milled are still excellent clubs.

Not necessarily.  My 52* Vokey is a 252.08 model that's pre-spin milled.  It's a great club for controlled shots under 100 when I need to keep the ball lower or full swings at 100-115yds.  It will chew up the ball if you're a high spin guy though.

It could be that its just not a spin-milled Vokey.  Ive owned a few Vokeys that were legit, but werent SM.

I have one.  It is a piece of crap.  I hate it.  Bought it for 120 yard shots.  Goes 100 same as my 56*.  It cant possibly be my swing could it.  No, in truth, i love it around the greens.  Just frustrating on the full shots thus far.

A lot of the Vokey gap wedges aren't spin milled.  When they started spin milling them, they originally didn't spin mill anything below 54*.  It's not crap at all.  It'll spin plenty for a gap wedge...more so than your other irons, but less than your sand wedge...just like it's supposed to.  As you can see, I have one, and I love it.  I say stick with it!

Good luck :-)

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…

      I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
