Is there a point when irons need to be replaced due to a wear to the grooves? How often are you guys replacing your irons?

Posted
I play several times per week between the months of April-October and hit thousands of balls at the range each year. Over the last 15 years I have owned 5 new sets of irons. I do believe that the grooves get worn which will impact the overall clubs performance (especially on your short irons). I change my wedges at least every 2 years.

I would say if you like a set of irons stick with them untill the grooves wear out.

I am currently using the TaylorMade Rac LT's and I have had them for around three seasons, playing nearly everyday. I am looking to get blades but I was trying to figure out if it would be a good idea to get new irons after three years of wear and tear.

It is different for every person, but yes at some point it is benificial to replace your irons with some new ones because of the grooves, when that is is up to you.

Or if you really love your irons, you don't necessarily have to replace them. There are a few places that will re-do the heads and restore them to original condition. The places that I've seen charge as little as $28. So, for less than $200, you have a "new" set.

if youre me you decide on new irons after every bad round you have.

Ive gone through 4 sets this year... and its not even May yet. Well 5 if you count the clevelands i bought then got mad and returned in the matter of 3 hours... Never even took them to the range just put em in my bag looked at em and said "eff these" went right back to the store. But now ive got a new set on its way.

    • Attempting to lift. Any better?  
    • Day 82: mirror work again tonight. Working on the same shoulder down and roll and twist stuff. Going on vacation tomorrow and putting the clubs down, so new streak starts in about 10 days!
    • Day 44, June 17.  Today was some preliminary stretching, exploring what I'll want to set up as a regular routine (both while on vacation without clubs and when I'm back) (aside: this is part of an upcoming goal to stretch daily in a meaningful way, but I don't plan to count it as practice on days that I can meaningfully practice with a club)
    • Having a rough week. Went to the Dr. because I was really weak and could hardly swing my driver.  I take Propranolol 20 mg tablets twice a day. Seems like the Propranolol was driving my pulse down (low 50's).  So we cut the dosage in half and I started taking my blood pressure. It was a little high but pulse came up.   Then yesterday I raised it to 15 mg tab by taking it 3 times a day. Blood pressure 127 / 77 Pulse 75.  Heading out tomorrow morning for 18 holes.    I have my driver set at 10.5* but seem to have my swing speed to low and I can't get the lift on the ball I need.  I have not played this week in hopes I will have the strength to raise my swing speed. I may have to raise my loft to 12* . (I will take my driver wrench) tomorrow. (This Parkinson's is a pain in the butt.)  Will give you a report when I get back.    Retired Old Man, Terry
    • You still got to lift your arms. You basically just roll your wrist over in the 1st half of the backswing.
