I was wonder amid all the argument about the rule change in 2010 and people stocking up on wedges, can you just use a groove sharpener that sharpens current square grooves to create that same square groove in competition conforming wedges? In other words, can you sharpen square grooves into 2010 grooves?

Another question, if you can't do the first question, what wedge has the most spin. I know that this is a redundant question, but only answer this question if...
+You have tried the wedge
+You have tried the different wedges that you are comparing it to.
+You have adequate knowledge of how a wedge's groves work and how the wedge you pick is so special.

and please no coaching. Thanks

also, i know it is about volume and edge sharpness, not shape.

You can't change the currently allowed grooves into the new groove because the current grooves are already too large. There is no way to make them smaller with any "sharpening" tool.

By the same token, I seriously doubt that any groove tool would be aggressive enough to turn the 2010 groove into the current groove either. They aren't designed to actually cut away metal, just clean up and sharpen what is already there.

Are you asking which conforming wedge has the most spin?

no sir, you're question is not plausible. i'll tell you what though, my pro shop just received clevelands new cg15 wedges. my boss (head golf pro) and i headed out to the course to give em a try, and WOW. the laser milled face just give extra biting action that's great. honestly, these are great, i'd put them in my bag (but don't cause i'm wierd, i like brand consistency; damn my mind - could be minor o.c.d.) but you should take a look at em.

I meant taking 2010's ----> current max regulatons.

and the best wedge to buy before 2010, as in for Christmas.

also, does anyone believe this might do the job?

The clubs with the new grooves will have different markings and modifying them to a nonconforming state will make them nonconforming under the rules. Why not just by 2 or 3 new wedges now and cycle them as they wear out? Then you're legal until 2024 unless you decide to play in a very high level tournament.

I would love to do that, i really do. But i don't exactly have that kind of money.

Maybe i could scrape some together.

    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?      
    • Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
