I'm in the market for a new wedge(s) I can get a sand wedge and possibly new lob or gap. Im choosing between trusty rusty or new 588 forged. But with the whole spin thing, maybe I'm better off with the cg15's. Or Vokey Spin Milled (not 4) for that matter. I AM SOO CONFUUSED! Will i even be able to tell tghe difference in spin? (please help.)

You probably won't be abe to tell the difference.

As far as spin is concerned, good wedge play is as much about taking spin off as it is applying it.

They are all pretty much the same. Just choose a shape you like.

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

I use the Ping Tour-S 52,56 and 60.  They have the conforming grooves and I don't notice a difference

I'm looking at getting the Pings in 52 and 56. I currently have a CG15 and a Nike forged sand wedge.

By the way; like your avatar; Robert Rock has the best looking swing in pro golf!

Pardon me, but I've gotta stick up for everyone else here.

Don't you think this question has been asked several, oh, hundred times already? Do a search on the site, read the existing threads, and learn a little bit.

Nobody can tell you what clubs you should hit. Especially given the fact that you didn't really ask any questions. How should we know if you'll be able to "tell" the difference in spin? C'mon.

    • Day 20: Did 30 minutes after getting home from work, before kid's baseball practice. This session was piecing out the new hip move in transition, doing 2-3 rehearsals from the top, and then hitting a ball from between P5/P6. Did another 45 minutes after baseball practice and dinner. Did 30 more minutes of what I did earlier, and then about 15 minutes of full swings trying to incorporate athletically.
    • Day 296: did a stack session. 
    • Day 126: 5/1/24 Putting and chipping practice. Slow motion swings with 8-iron.
    • #4 - 1st hole at Kingsbarns I rolled in a 15 footer for birdie. Showed my caddie an old guy could still play a bit. #3 - 18th hole at Basin Harbor Club, Vergennes, VT. I had played matches against my nephew over the years. He had never beaten me although through the years he had become a long hitting teenage golfer. I was 1 up but bunkered near the 18th green. My nephew had a long putt for birdie. I splashed out of the bunker to 4 feet. He rolled his first putt close and I gave him the par. Sadly for him, I rolled mine in and won our last match. He went off to college and then Europe for a Ph. D. It was our last match. Family champion forever. #2 - First playoff hole in the City of Livonia, MI “65 & Over” division. I rolled in an 8 footer that broke about 4-5 inches. #10 Whispering Willows GC. #1  18th hole at TPC Prestancia, Sarasota, FL. A 4 foot slicing putt for par to beat the prior year’s Member/Guest winners and win the Member/Guest with my father at his club. I was having heart palpitations as I played the final hole solo when my father put two in the water. There was never a better golf sight for me when that ball dove into the hole.
    • Finally, wedges getting somewhere. This one a punch gap from 87 yards to about 12 feet. Contact and ball flight absolute restaurant quality. It's nice when grass comes back.
