Current Model Wedges Played - Vokey SM6

What Appeals to You About a Raw Wedge - I really like the look of a raw wedge and the    performance increase when the face rusts is nice as well.

Current Model Wedges Played - Vokey SM7

What Appeals to You About a Raw Wedge - Even if the spin is comparable, raw wedges simply look better to me.  Would also be able to escape some of the glare I'm currently getting of my Vokey's...

Taylormade MG2 raw face. 

maximizing spin and that sexy rusty appearance.
 

I just ordered my wedges a month ago and was deciding between these Cleveland’s and the taylormades. I honestly felt like I like the Cleveland’s better but at the time they didn’t offer raw finishes so I went with the Taylormades. I’d love to be able to do a head to head comparison.

Would love the opportunity to try the new Cleveland wedges; I am curious as to how raw metal wedges react to your ball as they cure. Is there any effect to your ball flight?

Vokey SM 6 m grind tour chrome finish. 48, 52, 56, 60

I have always played vokey wedges and generally with the tour chrome finish. I’m intrigued to see 1) if there’s a set of wedges that I game better & 2) has playing vokey because that’s what we’re told is best, been hurting my game? 3) I’ve always loved the idea of raw. In theory it should be better, I’ve just never tried.

Have never used a Raw style wedge and am curious to see if the if the seemingly less glare and potential for more or different spin will benefit my game. I am also a huge fan of Cleveland wedges.
