Lets say your playing a high spin ball like a pro v1 and course conditions are right . Ive read a few sites that say the grooves dont matter, Its how you hit down on the ball .
Will a cheap wedge at walmart put just as much spin on the ball as a spin mill ?

I played the Wal Mart specials for years. I never had trouble putting spin on the ball with full shots. however I just purchased 3 Vokeys in the last few years. there is a HUGE difference with touch shots around the green. I always wondered how pros could stop a 10 yard chip like a butterfly with sore feet. Now I can do it with those wedges (and a good ball like a Pro V1). the ball just thuds when it hits the green and stops about 5 or 10 feet faster than with my old (cheap) wedges. so I am convinced the wedge itself makes a big difference in the long run.

I play a Nike Pro Combo sand wedge(the same that Tiger Woods uses; I used it before he did though) and I've gotten spin with a range ball. Grooves matter. I hit a bunker shot one day out of thin sand bunker and heard the ball spinning as it left the bunker. the ball landed and spun sideways in the spot it landed. Grooves matter.

I'm not sure because I've never hit one, but wedges are feel clubs and you never want to skimp on those. if you're playing Pro V1's that are $50 a box then $120 for a new Titleist Vokey shouldn't hurt you too much. Plus, aside from a driver and a putter you'll hit your wedge more than any club in your bag. it would be like buying a cheap bed even though you spend a third of your like in it.

spin with wedges makes the ball go lower so y not learn to hit the ball high and eleminate spin this way i feel it is easy to judge wat the ball is goin to do wen it lands. some greens are goin to b more responcive to spin and others wont

Grooves play a large impact on the control and spin of the ball. always keep the grooves of your irons and wedges clean. if not, you'll loose control and accuracy.

The Titliest Vokey wedge will get you some sick spin. you can chew up golf balls with that wedge.

What would be your 5 best wedges for putting spin on the golf ball ?
