Vokey Spin Milled vs. Vokey C-C

Just went to a TT VIP event here in Chicago and spent a few hours getting familiar with all Titleist has to offer. If you guys get the opportunity to attend one of these events I highly suggest going. Anyway, I was wondering if there are any TT Members out there that really enjoy playing the Vokey C-C wedges better than playing the spin milled (the ones that don't conform)? At the event we were able to try any of the wedges and I have spin milled wedges but really thought that the C-C wedge just felt so much better. If there is anybody that converted please let me know....I'm giving serious consideration to trading in my current wedges for the C-C's. Thanks

try the TVD wedges the feel is unmatched to any wedge.  TFL

As far as I know, the only different thing between CC and regular spin milled is the groove, CC has a much wide open groove, which shaped more like a rectangle rather than a square in spin milled ( not sure if u get my point here :P)

Just received my spin milled with 62 loft a month ago, have to say i love it very much!

I have a C-C 54 degree and like it a little better because it doesn't spin as much on a full shot but my 58 is a spin milled but I am glad it spins more because I seem to hit more half shots with it.  Please share how you got the invite to the VIP event.  I live in the middle of nowhere so I don't think there will be a VIP event there but I do live an hour from Indy and would definitely travel if given the opportunity.

I have the new Black Oxide C-C wedges.  They just take a little bit of adjustment to get used to the ball not stopping quite as fast. 

They are very nice.  I got KBS Tour shafts in them to match my AP2's

J.K.E.. I HIT THE M GROUND 58 DEGREE WEDGE, IT WAS AS SOFT AS MY OLD FORGED WEDGES AND SPIN SOOOOO NICE!! I GOT TO GET A 58 DEGREE AND MAYBE SPOIL MYSELF AND GET A 54 DEGREE TOO! YOU FELL YOU CAN DO ANYTHING WITH THESE WEDGES.

I play the TVD54 KBS tour x flex m grind bent to 53 and a TVD60 S400 bent to 59 and i love them.  and really i didnt loose much spin from them.  

I've got Black Oxide TVD's and they fly a little better in the wind and a little higher than my old Spin Milled Vokeys on full and 3/4 shots. A typical PW shot will fly, hit and maybe roll forward 3 feet or so, which is similar to the CC (because of the grooves). The Spin Milled will fly and check, or spin back considerably depending on the ball you use. But I prefer the CC because the spin is very predictable in the air and around the greens on chip shots. They're both really good but it just depends on what type of spin you're looking for. One added bonus of playing the CC that I've realized is that it doesn't thrash the cover of my ProV1x at all compared to the Spin Milled. I can typically play a ball the whole round and not have to worry about seeing huge scuff marks on it.

I just put some new Spin Milled C-C wedges into play and absolutely love them. My new set up is as follows:

WedgeWorks 250-08 bent to 51* with KBS Tour stiff shaft (C-C grooves)
WedgeWorks Oil Can Zero TVD C-C 54* bent to 55* with KBS Hi-Rev stiff shaft
WedgeWorks Oil Can Zero TVD C-C 58* bent to 59* with KBS Hi-Rev stiff shaft

I have two rounds under my belt with these new tools and they really are amazing.

One thing to remember is that all Vokey Wedges are spin milled, including the C-C wedges. The prior generation of Spin Milled grooves produce a medium trajectory and high spin and conform to the Rules of Golf until 2024, except in tournaments governed by a Condition of Competition. Spin Milled C-C grooves produce a higher trajectory with medium spin and conform to the new 2010 Rules of Golf for grooves and can be used in events that adopt the new rules as a Condition of Competition.

Thanks for the reply Steve, I have some decisions to make. To honestly answer your question, I continue to see more and more guys asking how to get involved in these events but its just solely based on a random drawing. It could have helped that I live in the same town as the event and where the course is located but it was one of the very first events of its kind Titleist has ever done. It went well and I'm sure there will definitely be more and with the feedback we all gave. I will give you one of the tips that the guys from Titleist said to us...stay active on Team Titleist.

I see you guys talking about C-C vs TVD vs Spin Milled. Is there that much of a difference between the 3? I've had the spin milled for 3yrs now and they are pretty good!!! But I'd like to have the black nickel w/ the black KBS shaft. Your thought's???
it would be great if you explain how cc works because i have experience using vokey spin milled
I think this is the simplest way to explain it, but if you want more clarrification you can check out the product specs on the Titleist and Vokey websites: 2010 and Pre-2010 Vokey Spin Milled Models = Square Grooves (High Spin, Medium Launch), non-conforming CC Vokey Spin Milled Models = U Grooves (Medium Spin, High Launch), conforming CC TVD Vokey Spin Milled Models = U Grooves + M Grind (Medium Spin, High Launch, Increased Toe and Heel Relief), conforming Additionally, RC's got a bunch of videos on YouTube that explains the differences of each of the models as well.
I should have added periods after conforming to avoid confusion. 2010 and Pre-2010 Vokey Spin Milled Models = Square Grooves (High Spin, Medium Launch), non-conforming. CC Vokey Spin Milled Models = U Grooves (Medium Spin, High Launch), conforming. CC TVD Vokey Spin Milled Models = U Grooves + M Grind (Medium Spin, High Launch, Increased Toe and Heel Relief), conforming.

If I want the " square grooved wedges" what year were they last made and what are the product markings on the club that would tell me . Thanks
