I would love to get a used one, but there are non I want on ebay.

My local pro shop is charging 110.00 for it, if I have to pay it I will, I like to promote and give business to my local pro shop, they are such great guys, but I need to eat too and I give them enough business.

So I want a vokey spin milled 52 degree, RAW standard bounce wedge.

Where does one get one at?

OK, I think I just realized, do they make a Vokey spin milled oil can 52 degree, or only 54 degree? And if only a 54, I can just have my local pro shop adjust the loft correct?

nah there is no 52 degree spin mill wedge

Unfortunately there are no Nevada Bob's golf stores near you. I picked up a 58º Vokey with 8º bounce for $40 there, obviously it's used but in great shape.

There are numerous online places to buy used clubs at which is what I think you are interested in. Not sure what Eriks' policy is regarding promoting business's so for now I won't.

You can PM it to me..

On a side note, what is the difference between spin milled and non spin milled

For example

http://www.edwinwattsgolf.com/golf-e...77_-1_1107.htm

I can get that in 52 degrees..

Or should I just man up and get a 54 degree spin milled ( is the spin milled that much better )

So you all know, I use my 52 degree gap wedge now, anywhere from 100 yards up to 20 yards out..

What would change if I went to a 54 degree?

There should be various golf shops around you. There are Roger Dunns in California. I suspect Edwin Watts is similar. I'm guessing GolfSmith or something similar is nation-wide too. I'll bet they sell used clubs.

spin milled has a milled face that puts more spin on the ball. a wedge is one of the only clubs i would reccommend buying new. they are made of soft metals and especially having the spin milled face, i would want no use on it. an old wedge wont spin like a new one is what im tryin to say. happy hunting, everyone loves those wedges.

So.. The question still remains.. should I get a 54 degree then? even though I play a 52 degree now?

Is the change in loft going to be that much harder to adjust? Is it worth it because of the milled face?

It depends on what else you have in your bag. I can't speak for changing the loft, but if your PW is 46* and you SW is 56* a 54 doesn't fit too well in there. You would be much better off with a 52*.

OK, so whats the best 52 degree Gap wedge then? I def. want a raw one, one that will rust..

Should I get the Vokey NON SPIN MILLED then? Or get the spin milled 54 and have my pro-shop change it to a 52??

Thanks

I'd sell you mine, but they's be no use to you. I have a 54 and a 58 the 54 will rust for sure. But 40 bucks plus shipping is about what they are worth I think. Used anyway. I think all you have to do is look around. You should find one that fits your budget.

    • Day 11: did mirror work for a while. Worked on the same stuff. 
    • 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?
