I knwo the grooves can be redon e some, but wondering for fun if a clubmaker could regroove them (of course not for legal play) to really have big or different grooves for easier spin?

Im sure you could get them re-grooved with a deeper groove but just from my experience with the spin milled vokey I have, it seems to me that I have a tendency to notice cuts on my balls after a loop. So you really may want to ask your self if deeper grooves are really worth it!!

MY thinking...As I certainly can't backspin the ball now, but occasionally check it, but need to learn to backspin as my changed (and better!) new swing...I am hitting past the pin and would benefit from the backspin usually.
So, if a club could illegally be made to spin the heck out of the ball lots more, I am thinking it would help me literally see the affect of my practice rounds trying to achieve spin. Make sense?

To me, its not the grooves that are making the cuts on the Vokey as much as the rough face. That is just my take on it anyway.

Mmmm, no. It's the grooves, and it's not really a matter of opinion.

Well, that settles it then.

joshtpa, you are just going to have to drop that opinion.

No, common sense settles it. Testing settles it. Having played well for years and having hit lots of wedges settles it. Talking to Bob Vokey settles it.

You know, some things are fact, and some are opinion. You're all free to have different opinions, but I'm not really interested - and never have been - in "discussing" fact. You're either right or wrong. Joshtpa is wrong here. I'm not going to tip-toe around comments that are wrong. I greatly prefer to set the record straight so that future readers of this or any other thread get the right information. If this topic can get back on topic, great. Any further posts about what I've just discussed will be removed.

      Water in Bunker

      By iacas ·

      Yes. If you choose to take the ball out of the bunker instead of taking maximum available relief… it costs a stroke.

      2024 TST Birdie Challenge

      By TourSpoon ·

      I got another one today....Number 17. Par 5 that has water left and right on the layup. I smacked a drive down the left side and got a little lazy on the layup and fanned my 6 iron. With 112 to a crowned green I got it to 3 feet and birdie!  Only 5 and 15 is left for this year!

      Water in Bunker

      By anaveragehacker ·

      Maybe I didn’t explain this properly. Back and front can be confusing.  There was no place in the bunker that didn’t have 2-3 inches of rain water in it, except for a small spot on the slope nearest the pin. If I had dropped there I would be moving 6-7 feet closer to the hole. Since my ball was just inside the bunker, farthest side from the hole, I dropped one club length backward, which brought me out of the bunker. I could not have hit from that deep of water. Are you saying I would have had to take a penalty stroke due to rain water?

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By iacas ·

      Day 550, May 5, 2024 Got a good hour in with a typical (for me) two-stick setup: pool noodle angled in front, yardstick on the ground angled 45° behind me.

      Day 130: Cinco de Mayo Day 7/24 of Full Speed Spectrum training. Difficult training day after struggling to certify my warmup yesterday, and today. Finished 13 mph lower than my training speed on Thursday. Hope to hit some balls today.
