Does anybody have some first hand experience with both of those wedges?
Does the Spin milled really add so much more spin?

In The Science Of Golf, Cochran and Stobbs report that a SMOOTH face club has the same spin as a grooved club on dry surfaces.
Pelz disagrees with this by focusing on wet surfaces, and he believes that he has shown that in WET conditions, the difference for a 7 iron can be roughly 3-4% for different grooves. The difference in yardage indicates spin, since more spin stops shorter.
In reality, in dry conditions, it doesn't matter at all. In wet conditions, the idea that a ball could be shredded is mostly because of the placebo effect.
