Grooves do absolutely nothing in creating spin. The golf ball will create just as much spin, sometimes more with a perfectly smooth clubface.

The only time groves become useful is when the clubface is wet, they channel away moisture like the grooves in a car tyre, actually the similarity to a car tyre is a good one, they produce more grip when smooth and only need grooves when the surface is wet.

Keep the wedges they will be fine.
