When the ground is wet and moisture gets between the ball and the face, most wedges lose a dramatic amount of spin, some by nearly half. But a handful of models stood out MyGolfSpy’s 2025 Most Wanted Wedge Test for holding nearly all of their spin in wet conditions (one spin even won!).
These five wedges maintained their launch window, kept spin consistent and maintained reliable distance control even when moisture was present. If you deal with early morning dew, a rainy climate, or just want a wedge you can trust no matter the conditions, start here.
50 yard wet spin carry (5 key wedges)
| Wedge pattern | Dry rotation (rpm) | Wet rotation (rpm) | Retention rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cleveland RTZ | 6454 | 6795 | 105.3% |
| Cleveland RTZ full face | 6400 | 6713 | 104.9% |
| Fourteen FRZ | 6444 | 6347 | 98.5% |
| TaylorMade Milled Grind 5 | 6683 | 6576 | 98.4% |
| Mizuno Pro T-3 | 6800 | 6596 | 97.0% |
Cleveland RTZ
of RTZ was the surprise of the entire 2025 test: instead of losing rpm, it actually gained revs when moisture was added. This means a more predictable launch, tighter distance control and fewer “floaters” that bounce up and land hot on the green. It also performed above average in accuracy and consistency across all scoring categories.
Buy this if: You want the best wet roll performance in the entire 2025 test.
Skip this if: You prefer a more compact, traditional blade profile.
Cleveland RTZ full face
of Full face version offers almost identical performance to wet spin as standard RTZ but adds flexibility and forgiveness to grooves that run across the face. You can open it, hit it high on the toe or maneuver it around the greens and the spin remains remarkably consistent.
Buy this if: Want full face grooves with elite spin retention. Skip this if: Don’t like the look of full grooves at address.
Fourteen FRZ
fourteen FRZ wedge ranks high in every major category including accuracy, spin and wet performance. Holds almost all of its spin when moisture gets between the ball and the face. It’s one of the most premium-feeling wedges on test, and it performs like one.
Buy this if: You want high spin durability and premium feel. Skip this if: You are trying to stay within a budget.
TaylorMade Milled Grind 5
of TaylorMade MG5 continues Milled Grind’s durability record. It was one of the best wedges in the entire test for carry distance distribution and control, and it retained nearly all of its spin on wet 50-yard shots. The raw face finish will rust over time, but performance remained strong in all three point categories.
Buy this if: You want a wedge that delivers extremely consistent results in all conditions. Skip this if: You don’t want a raw face that will rust over time.
Mizuno Pro T-3
of T-3 it was the best-scoring wedge in 2025 and its wet spin retention supported the buzz. It retains more than 97 percent of its spin when the humidity hits and offers better durability in the test. If you want the safest all-around choice for accuracy, range control and wet-shooting reliability, this is it.
Buy this if: You want the most complete wedge in the test with strong wet spin retention. Skip this if: You are crazy about head shape and prefer shorter and more traditional profiles.
