Spinniest Wedge?

[useless149149]

I'm thinking about getting a 56* with some xmas $$$, and since I have a tough time generating spin with my swing, I need some advice on which wedges give you the most spin.

i think golf digest just talked about this recently. the wedge that puts the most spin on the ball are the spin-milled titleist vokey wedges.

I recently picked up the Ping Tour W Wedge and they are great in terms of look, feel and spin. I'd give them a try.

Consider also a shaft that generates spin!

Like I have the Rifle Spinner Wedge Shaft.

hi,

i have 3 Vokey wedges in the bag. 48 PW (Oil Can Rusted), 56 SW (Chrome) and a 60 LW (Oil Can Rusted).

I get a LOT of grip and spin from both the SW and the LW.

I would suggest grabbing a 60. But remember, open that stance right up. Also, a stiff shaft helps.

In my opinion it's got to be the Titleist Vokey spin-milled.

When I tried them out it felt like they were tearing the 1st layer of the ball off!

As far as I know it's Vokey Spin Milled wedges. But has anyone had any experiences with Japanese wedges like Yururi, Chikara, etc?

Yes Japanese wedges do have a great spin factor . Aside from having square grooves some have their club faces deep milled for that extra grab on the ball . Kinda expensive but they are worth it . Yururi came out with a Black oxide looking wedge a year or two ago . These are tour inspired and if you can get hold on one of these you are going to bring your short game another notch .

Swing mechanics , club face , ball contact , loft factor/bounce . These are some of the facts to consider . For plays requiring you spin the ball back a couple of feet try using the bounce of the club head . Meaning , try to hit down on the ball with a complete follow through making a divot in front of the ball rather than at the back . To stop the ball dead you can flop the ball with a divot on the exact spot where the ball lie and complete the follow through . Thats what i did according to David Leadbetter and it works .

I'd have to agree with the majority of posters here. Titleist Vokey spin milled are off the charts!

[hawkeye]

in a magazine this month they had an article which showed the rpm of each ball hit flat out, averaged.

callaway X was first
Titleist vokey was 2nd
cleveland was 3rd

i'll try find it and let you guys know the actual results!

I agree! I picked up a Tour-W 60/8, it is awesome, drop and stop or check and spin back, this club can do it....but then again, i'm biased, i'm a Ping Ho

[The Rambler]

I love my Rac TP. It spins, in my opinion, as much as a Titleist Spin Milled

I heard the X-tours with the mack-daddy grooves are suppose to be pretty SICK!!! I have a 60 without the MD grooves only because the bounce I wanted doesn't come with the MD grooves.

I have heard stories that the grooves can take chucks out of the softer balls, like the HX-tour and Pro V's.
