#ASKMYGOLFSPY – Does Rust Add Spin?
One of the most pervasive myths in the golf equipment world is that rust adds spin to wedges. It’s the reason why some golfers buy raw wedges and some others go so far as to strip the finish off plated wedges.
There’s a logic to it, I suppose. Rust adds texture. Texture suggests friction and, well, friction is what provides spin.
It’s also true that a significant number of Tour pros use raw wedges. They know best, right?
It’s not much of a leap to think average golfers believe spin is the reason why raw wedges are so popular on Tour.
And so, if you happen to believe all of the above is true, it’s almost certainly easy enough to convince yourself that your wedges spin more once they get some rust on them.
