Top 20 Wedges Ranked by Spin Performance

In 2024, we tested 26 golf wedges, evaluating their performance in spin, consistency, and accuracy. But let’s be honest—when you’re buying a new wedge, spin is a top priority. It needs to perform well from both short and long grass, helping to leave you in one-putt range.

When measuring spin in our tests, we focus on full swing spin, 50-yard dry spin, 50-yard wet spin, and dry vs. wet spin retention. While accuracy and consistency are crucial, the spin shows the true difference between the great wedges and the rest.

The best wedges of 2024 excelled at retaining spin and controlling launch, even in wet conditions. Poor wedges, on the other hand, lose spin. If you’re noticing a lack of spin performance with your wedges, here are the top 20 wedges ranked by spin.

Wedge spin is just one piece of the puzzle

If you are a golfer who feels like spin control with the wedges is an issue in your game, the wedge is just one piece of the puzzle. To get more spin on your golf shots, you’ll also have to take a look at the golf ball you are using. Some balls are made to increase spin around the greens, and combining them with a top wedge for spin is a big advantage.

We also can’t forget the mechanics component here. Some golfers are better at generating spin because of their speed, angle of attack, and overall technique. However, it is important to set yourself up with the right equipment.

Go for a fitting and see which wedges give you the best spin numbers.
