I'm watching this thread. I love my Vokeys and I like the worn look they are starting to get. But I remember how they worked at one time. It's not a huge deal to me, the spin thing. But I'd love to take these same wedges (especially the 55 & 60) back to day one. And as odd as it may sound (I'm no pro obviously), I want to maintain my USGA legality. I'm a stickler for the rules.

Is it just for wedges or is meant to be used for irons too?

You could use groove sharpeners for irons, too, but it is reccomended for wedges.

I just want to know of anyone with some experence with groove sharpeners, to see if they really work or not.

They can't "sharpen" your grooves, of that would be breaking USGA rules, if the grooves are worn down, the "sharpener" can bring them back to new state, as someone with a vokey wanted, but if you have a brand new club and use this, you should see no difference, and if you do, it is most likely illegal.

      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?

      By boogielicious · Posted

      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.
