Justin S asked:
So there’s chrome, black nickel, and oil can. Is there really a difference between the three finishes? Also, I’ve met some players that prefer when their chrome wedges build rust all over the club head…Why is that?
what’s the differences between the finishes of the titleist vokey design wedes?

The rust gives it more traction for spin, i hear wedges with high nickel are harder and dont have as much spin because the surface has no give. I was under the impression that oil cans rusted faster,
Personally i think clevelands swing better, but if you live near a pga superstore, or any where with a simulator go and hit the three and see witch one has more spin.

The main reason for the rust is not for extra grab, its to eliminate the glare if the sun hits it while at address. That is also the reason for the other finishes. You have more confidence if you like what you look at while addressing the ball

chrome holds up for life if you take care of your clubs, it can blind you when the sun hits it just right. glare can be a distraction to take your mind off of your shot or pre-shot routine. oil and black or satten all look great new but will look older sooner than later. reduced glair is the main objective but these clubs rust. and yes a little rusty texture on the face of your club will get you a bit more bite (spin) but your ball selection is the real key to the abuility to get your wedges to stick on the green. a soft ball will spin with any wedge you choose . if you go to a non chrome finnish like the oil can. i like to just keep the grooves clean with a brush and water and i keep a soft piece of steel wool around with a light coat of baby oil for the back of the club to keep them looking sharp. i like my things to match but sometimes having a chrome pitching wedge a black 52gap an oil can 56 and maybe a satten 60lob to keep them identified with a glance can keep your mind on your shot rather than diggin threw the bag trying to find a club. i would not buy a black 56 as the sand can act as sandpaper and take your finnish down fast. good luck and good shopping you cant go wrong in my book.

ive herd oil can rusts quicker making more spin, but i go with the ping tour-w wedges that came out this year. they look great, dont have a glare, and spin well. thats what i reccomend.
