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.
