Does sharp edges do anything except tear up the balls? The grooves depth remain the same, a sharp edge may contribute slightly to spin, but in my opinion the irons (wedges) are better after being worn down some time so they don't rip up all the balls.

I use a very similar device to maintain the grooves of my wedges. It cleans and freshens the grooves. A few minutes with each scoring club every 4 or 5 rounds and it gives the wedges back that factory "bite". I don't know about that "ruffer" thing though . That looks scary.

Related question-If you are going to buy a groove sharpener, does the Titleist Vokey Spin Milled Wedge have U or V grooves-which dharpener should you buy. I think I might buy one, since my 60 degree has hit thousands of balls so needs it.

I too would not use the ruffer-no chance!

Would you send your club to have it milled again? It's the same theory as the ruffer... you are just doing it by hand.

id just buy a new wedge instead of having it remilled. unless of course it was some hard to find, rare wedge or something

Yes, I know. So which side do you use for the Titelist Vokey Spin Milled? Which side works best?

I use the U side. I bought mine from this guy on Ebay, I think it was $18. I've used it on hundreds of clubs, it still work great.

I make my own by taking an ordinary tempered (hardened) steel hand file (about 7 bucks) and grinding it on my bench grinder until I achieve the desired cutting shape (of course this is within the USGA parameters). I'll snap a photo tonight.

It works like a charm.

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
