I did the all too common mistake of leaving my 56 Vokey Spin Milled on the 18th hole last week and of course when I called to see if anyone picked it up and turned it in, the answer was no.

So I am in need of a new 56, I could go with the Vokey again - it was a great club and it replaced a Cleveland CG 10 one dot but I found I needed a bit more bounce so I went with the Volkey.

Now I am looking at the Cleveland 588 DSG, which is pretty close to my old CG10 but with more bounce and a second sole so when I open it up a bit the stock bounce doesn't get in the way.

I don't carry a 60 so the DSG should fit me even better. Has anyone used or are currently carrying both the Spin Milled and the DSG and can give me an opinion on how they are compared to each other?

I'll preface my comments with the fact that I have always played Cleveland irons. That said, I had been using Vokey 200 series wedges since the beginning of last year's golf season until last week. I found a good deal on a 588 DSG 54 and 60 and haven't looked back. The wedges have the same soft feel that my CG4 Tours do and the dynamic sole grind makes the wedges very versatile. I can hit flop shots with the 60 at will and can use the 54 effectively in any sand situation.

I was a fan of the Vokey 200 series but I really love the 588. Bottom line is that they are both top-of-the line wedges and I don't think that you can go wrong with either one.

Well I went with the DSG, I currently use a 588 as my 52 wedge and they both look and feel quite similar.

    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
