Has anyone every attempted to grind there own wedges and if so, could you offer any tips. I purchased new wedges with more bounce (for my deep angle of attack on full swings) and would like to grind the heel a bit to offer more options around the greens on tight lies. I am still unsure about doing it myself, but if someone has some tips, it may help me to make a decision. Thanks!

I'm in the progress of grinding the bounce down on my 60 degree wedge. The best advice I can give you is to have a clear plan for exactly what you want to do. Mark it off before you ever put the grinder to the club. Go slow and steady until you get it exactly the way you want it. Depending on how much steel you grind off, you may change the swingweight enough that you need to add some lead tape...

    • No rush. His blog post (I'm calling it that, because that's basically what it is) is probably from 2019. It seems to be from before the WHS was official. The first time it appears in the Internet Archive is 2021, though. But, I doubt they're crawling the Pope of Slope site all that often. 🙂 
    • At present all I can say is that this indicates a tremendous body of work. Congratulations. As yet I haven't analysed any of your or Knuth's contentions but superficially I lean your way. I am away for a few days or so so will study your analysis when I get back. But suffice to say - an impressive piece of work.  
    • Day 5 (5 Jun 26) - Played in the Friday men’s shootout, solid day for me with an 80 (39 / 41)….recent work on keeping connected with the arms tightened up the shot dispersion both front to back and left to right.  
    • Threw my last 9 holes into the Shot Pattern App (negative bad) Driving: -3.2, Approach: -0.6, Short: -4.5, Putting: -0.1 Good it matches my post round assessment. My intuition was pretty spot on. I need to get a few range sessions in on the tee shots. Too long, too much right-side bend.  I need to pivot better on my short game shots. Lots of flipping.
