Re: Grooving tool

Regrooving does make a difference.

I got my wedges regrooved because I noticed that I wasn't getting the same spin as my new wedge and my grooves were looking a little tired. So got them regrooved a couple of weeks ago and I notice a difference.

If you believe grooves don't add to spin then don't get your wedges regrooved however I will continue to get my wedges and irons regrooved to give myself the best opportunity of shooting a good score. U will still get spin with tired worn grooves however u won't get as much!

Why do drivers have a smooth face...Yes ok, I know that your gonna say that because you hit your driver off a tee it's not getting grass and water out the way...but it does have small grooves at either side of the sweet spot...this helps a shot coming off the toe or heel with more backspin which counteracts side spin which reduces how wayward the shot is.

I agree in part that golfers blame not getting spin to equipment instead of correctly blaming their technique but grooves do increase spin rate
