Cleveland Vs. Titlist Wedges

So I have been playing Cleveland wedges for a couple of months now.  Have to say I love them.  I bought brand new 56 and 60 degree wedges about 2 months ago and a 52 and 48 shortly there after.  Haven't had any issue spinning them or getting them to release depending on what I am doing.  I actually tend to spin my clubs 6 iron and up a lot.  When hitting a 6 iron or up into a green the ball mark is usually within 3 feet of the ball, my wedges on 3/4 to full shots usually spin back a a few inches to a few feet.

So I have been reading a lot of info online about the different wedges, Cleveland, Callaway and Titlist.  The majority of the info I have read is that the Clevelands are the most difficult to generate spin.  This peaked my curiosity, so today I picked up a Titlist Vokey Spin Milled 56.8 wedge.  I live in Phoenix and the lies are pretty thin usually and I don't leave a lot of divot so the 8 degree bounce is what I prefer, right now. 

I have not gotten a chance to go hit the new Vokey wedge against my Cleveland, which is also a low bounce 56 degree wedge.  I have done some short chipping in the backyard, they both feel the same.  Tomorrow afternoon I plan to hit the range and the chipping green and see how they do.  I will also take both with me to the course next weekend. 

I'll keep you posted.

(Next maybe a Callaway 56 C-Grind?)
