I have had my 60* wedge for three years, and the grooves are looking quite worn. My wedges get more wear and tear than most of my irons, because they are used more. I practice with them, chipping around in the yard, etc.

I'm wondering if the fact that they look worn necessarily means they are not performing up to snuff. Or, if this really isn't a big issue and they perform as well as new wedges. I know people who swear by their ancient rusted wedges, and claim that the rust gives them better bite.


How about re-cutting the grooves? Do many people try this?

I have had my 60º for about the same legnth of time, and I will be replacing after this season. If you practice with them alot, they loose the amount of spin they create on the ball. The pros are so aware of this, they change wedges three to five times a year.

Is there any way to really tell if you wedges are worn just by looking at them.

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      I think part of it is there hasn't been enough conclusive studies specific to golf regarding block studies. Maybe the full swing, you can't study it because it is too complicated and to some degree it will fall into variable or random.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Going one step stiffer in the golf shaft, of the same make and model will have minor impact on the launch conditions. It can matter, it is a way to dial in some launch conditions if you are a few hundred RPM off or the angle isn't there. Same with moving weights around. A clubhead weights 200-220 grams. You are shifting a fraction of that to move the CG slightly. It can matter, again its more about fine tuning. As for grip size, this is more personal preference. Grip size doesn't have any impact on the swing out of personal preference.  You are going to spend hundreds of dollars for fine tuning. Which if you want, go for it. I am not sure what your level of play is, or what your goals in golf are.  In the end, the golf swing matters more than the equipment. If you want to go to that level of detail, go find a good golf club fitter. ChatGPT is going to surface scan reddit, golfwrx, and other popular websites for the answers. Basically, it is all opinionated gibberish at this point.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      Well the first advice I would give is to look at your swing. If you are swing out to in, it may be difficult to fix your misses with club adjustments. They would only be a bandaid. I use midsize grips because I have long fingers and I feel I have more control with them. I also have tinkered with shaft length and swing weight. But I know when I miss it’s because my swing was off.
