HI,

I have a set of Wilson FG-17 irons, purchased in 1981. I want to get a groove tool, to retool the grooves, but I don't know the shape of the grooves? I think they are V grooves, but can anyone verify this? I don't want to accidentally screw up the grooves with the wrong shape tool. And by the way, I play these irons regularly.

Also any tips on a good groove tool? Thanks.

Bob

Yeah I would say all irons made back in the early 80's were V grooves (except PINGs).  Did a little search and f ound this .

Thanks. It was the eBay link (thank you very much) which I also found, about a week ago, that got me thinking. I'll try to contact Wilson and see what they say ... I'll post back if I get an answer.

      I have a putting mat in my office. It's 9 feet long almost 4 feet wide. I've drawn a line down it in order to practice hitting my line and stuff. Works fine for what it is.  While I'm not a fan of lining up a line on my golfball for every putt. I think for practice sessions it can have a lot of value.  To me this product makes sense. This is the first time I've seen it. It showed up as an add on the right side of the TST webpage. What do you all think? PuttAIM Laser Training Aid Get ready to dominate the greens like never before. PuttAIM Golf is a golf putting aid that uses laser technology to help you improve your game. This device works to ensure your putts are aligned properly and on track...

      Of course. I've used different words to start, but like 90-95% of the time it's been this one. And I'm unlikely to switch now.

      Angle is not a factor. I hit the ball 100’ high. Par is net birdie. My CH is 16. The rough between the bunkers is like 10’ wide though. That’s not something you’re going to try to hit on purpose. Most of the area to the left of that is fescue/native vegetation and I’m pretty sure there isn’t a flat lie in any of it. It’s the second hole.
