Spin Milled vs. RAC TP


kblahey

Recommended Posts

Looking to buy new wedges and need some opinions?? - I narrowed it down to two - the Spin Milled Vokeys or RAC TPs.

 

Any advice or comments??

The Spin Milled are flat out awesome wedges. They setup perfectly and perform like you wouldn't believe. Definitely check them out.

 

The retail RAC TP's are also good wedges, but if I had to choose between the two, I'd go with the Vokey. One plus to the RAC's is that they don't tear up balls as fast.

 

If you can get your hands on a tour Y-Cutter you may want to consider those as well. There's a few now listed in the BST section as well as on Ebay. Since the TP's came out, you can find them new for around $150.

 

Go with whatever works for you. Good luck.

You should see an oil can spin milled offered next year. I was pretty disappointed overall with the spin milled, I wanted to find a wedge with super spin in the 60*, which I waited 2 months to get from titleist, only to find it ho hum. I've got TPs in the bag now. I would also consider CG10s, my previous wedges and can definitely hold their own.

I never tried a TP, but I've compared a SM 60-08 to an Fe2O3 y cutter (2 dots) 60 (not sure about the bounce, says 12 on the club but probably not quite that much) and I far prefer the feel of the y cutter. The SM felt hard and less comfortable (same shaft actually, S400) and I was much more at home with the y cutter. I thought the spin was close, a little more on the SM. The finish on the y cutter is so soft and comfortable to me. Maybe I'll check out an oil SM when they come out.

Spin Milled! Don't buy into the bs saying that y-cutters have y0shaped grooves!!! all y-cutters are, are soft box grooves! Spin Milleds have larger grooves and are sharper! Much more spin with Spin Milleds!

 

 

I've never seen anywhere, least of all from Taylor Made, that they Y-cutters had Y-shaped grooves :dntknw:

The Y comes from it being the Y-iteration of groove designs that TM tried.

 

From TM website:

 

What benefit do Y-cutter grooves provide and how did they get their name?

Y-cutter grooves are so-named because they are part of a progression of groove designs named for letters of the alphabet. The name has nothing to do with the shape of the groove.

 

 

That being said I have never tried the SMs, and I have ordered a 56* TM TP and plan to order a 52* and a 60* as well. (a UK-based online-shop have them for £49.99 until tomorrow). Either wedge should be fine.
