looking for a 52,56,60 wedges that are legal and spin the most have the best grind etc

Considering price, spin and grinds

Vokey's

Yururi Raw is the most spinning wedge I've ever play but it non-conforming grove, how about Vokey's cold forged wedge.

vega or zodia

they are not that expensive

Spins most & best grind... The big question is what is the best grind for you?

Your going to get answers from others on what the best grind is for them.

I personally wouldn't suggest Vega or Zodia or Bolds for versatility. Zodia for spin but it's a more firm impact and not as smooth all around, Bold's yes on spin but ease of use isn't the best.

I'm gonna throw out some options that I suggest mainly for versatility.

- Cold Forged Vokey (available in many grinds)

- Yamaha RMX Tour Model Wedge

- RomaRo Alcobaca

- Yururi Tour Wedge (conforming spec)

- OnOff labo CB247

All of the above feature grinds that are easy for most, gives you the option to open up the face yet doesn't have sharp angles or finishes that could impede turf contact. Leading edge is a big one and shape of sole. I don't know what sort of conditions you play in but many above are what I would consider neutral.

That said two really stand out to me if price were not a concern Crazy Toyoshima's & Tabuchi Wedges. Tabuchi because it's very similar to that Vokey shape and the grind seems to put a smile on everyones face no matter the conditions.

Can you elaborate on the conditions you play, are you steep or shallow? what sort of divots you got?

no divots for my wedge play..not yet anyways. Going to see a teacher quite soon.

You should be giving all of us lessons if you are a 2 handicap. I haven't seen a low handicap player without a killer short game.

I tried out an old beryllium copper Hogan wedge someone wanted to trade to me. If there's ever such a thing as too much spin... that wedge produced it.

I wish the 2014 vokey cold forged still offered the M grind.

The Vokey R grind looks and plays very similar to the M.

I always love Yururi's Tour wedges for spin, but I think they lack in the versatility part. Overall, I like the Vokeys and or Romaro Alcobaca wedges. They are much easier to handle in the rough around the greens.

I love being able to hit that soft spinning shots from short range, with the blade open.

*For full shots, the Yururi's are crisp and zips back like no other!
