How long do your wedges last?

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.
