if so, is there really as much spin difference as i'm reading? sounds like the spin milled wedge damn near rips the cover off a ProV
just wondering if it is worth the £80odd to change from my current 56* old vokey (which does the job fine to be honest)
any advice?

A mate of mine plays off 6, and he's spinning his wedges like a top! So yes, I'd say there is a large difference.
He's going through 3/4 ProV's a round tho!

The spin milled are ok but to be honest i've had mine for about a year now and it's no different to a normal Vokey. I'm even tempted to go back to my rusty 58 degree as i much prefer the look of it behind the ball. First few weeks with the spin milled i was going through dozens of ***** (proV's) and spinning it out the rough
Titleist didnt produce a 48 degree PW because the prototypes spun too much!!!!!

Only spins out the rough at first until the sharp edges of the grooves wear off.
Personally i dont think you'll see any benefit. Not many of the european tour pro's are using them either

Cleveland are known for their wedges. They've invested a lot in getting their irons into US tour pro bags, but it's still the wedges that made their name.
ETA - I see Vokeys are the US PGA favourite at the moment.
I use cleveland irons (TA5) as well and love them, but they seem to be favoured by "improvers" rather than yer actual low handicap player

Cleveland do make some beauties, had loads of them in my time but i love my Hogan 52 degree wedge. Such a classic shape (quite rounded top edge) and sits beautifully behind the ball. You can play loads of different types of shots with them too. I would highly recommend one but it's an old model so finding one maybe tough!!!!
