Message: [QUOTE="Chin Diesel, post: 3077291, member: 34"] A huge variable on the stopping power of wedges on greens is the ball you play. Spin rates on short shots vary way more than spin rates off the tee. Pretty much every ball is low spin off the tee now. Very little consumer demand for a higher spin ball on tee shots to work the ball left or right. Most golfers lack that skill and end up with hooks and slices. Long and straight is the mantra off the tee. Urethane covered balls get real grippy on the face of a wedge and spin much higher than surlyn covered balls. Compression doesn't matter as much on the short shots. Unfortunately the urethane covered balls are at the high end of the price range for golf balls. I played the Titleist NXT Tour for a few years until Titleist discontinued it. I recently tried a direct to consumer company, Cut Golf and their 4-piece Blue. It played real nice across my clubs- drivers, irons, around the green and putting. $24/dz including shipping. Vice and Snell golf make direct to consumer balls but are a bit pricier. The Kirkland Signature, aka K-Sig, has a big following too. EDIT: Here's a spin rate graph to show how balls performed on a 50-yard pitch test from Golf Digest.
