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.

      I think you're saying it's preposterous to think that the areas on this club are anything like what's shown here: 30mm toward the toe or heel loses only 5% distance? Highly, highly doubtful. So a guy who hits the ball there and normally hits the ball about 250… will hit it instead about 238. By missing the sweet spot by about 1.2 inches? Highly, highly doubtful. Heck, the high heel barely gets into the red, and orange is only "up to" 10%! @M2R, I've never heard of "Ask Golf Nut" but I'm dubious of his claims in the video and really, really dubious of what's on his site: "Why AskGolfNut Is the Most Trusted Data-Driven Golf Resource". Hmmmmmm.

      So the question was posed today by some of my friends.  Is a pitch mark the same as a divot?  I thought NO, but they argued if your ball lands in another player's divot (made by club during a swing) this was the same as a pitch mark, i.e. the ball mark made when the ball lands

      Original definition use to or still is how far offline you hit it. It might be better to think of it as consistency in retaining favorable launch conditions to optimize distance.   That heat map showed a gigantic 0-3% loss in ball speed. That is absurd. The true 100% sweet spot is tiny for all clubs. Good luck telling the difference if the sweet spot is under 3% in a sizable area. Especially considering variation in launch angle, spin, and outdoor weather.
