hey all...you guys have probably heard of/used the groove sharpener from that site. if you havent, i think it works well

i was thinking about buying "the ruffer". just wondering if anyone has used it and what they thought about it.

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.

wow, i dont know if i would use one of those on my irons

You wont catch me rubbing that shit across the face of my wedges.

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!

the groove sharpener has a V sharpener on one end, and a u sharpener on the other end

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

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

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.
