    Oil Can or Black Nickel?

    I currently have a Vokey Raw 56 degree SW and I have a set of Cleveland TA-5 Irons and as most of you know there is a pretty large gap in between my PW and SW so i am going to get a Titleist 52 degree GW but the big question is which style should i get?

    Right now the Black Nickel looks closer to the Raw model i have but i heard that the Oil Can is supposed to rust and eventually look like the Raw.. is this right? and which one would you get and why?

    I have a black nickel gap, 252.08. I also have a oilcan lob 260.08. I think the nickel is better for a gap wedge, the finish looks closer to my irons and i find visually that is more appealing. its an awful finish for a sand or lob wedge though as it is very prone to scratching when hit from sand, and i had to return the nickel lob wedge and swap it for a oilcan. Feel wise there is nothing in it. I just feel the nickel frames the ball better on longer shots.

    Nothing beats an oil can. It is a great wedge and spins a ton.
