They are tiny grooves, once you hit a fair few shots with them they will wear down. Same with the vokey wedges with the spin milled grooves. And the most likly are still there, but since the club face is scatched up from the shots you hit, it's hiding them a little bit.

i have the cleveland cg7 black pearl irons with lazer grooves, they will wear off. they are only a few thousands in depth so i never expected them to last, but they still hit great.

CG 14 were horrible wedges! If anything, if you can find some brand new CG12's buy them, they are the best built wedge on the market. Next I would say the mizzy t10 wedges and then cg15's

I liked the CG12's as well but what makes you say they are the best built wedge?

The BV spin milled grooves is not the surface, but the grooves themselfs and the tiny grooves on either the BV and CG15 are not adding much, it is more for selling them than the actual extra backspin coming from almost nothing.....

Mine wore off almost immediately but I admit they are knock-offs. One thing we have in common is the sandy/dusty environment. Here in Africa, there is no grass really.

I wouldn't worry about it. They are really only there for looks anyway, and maybe to make some buyers think that they are getting super spin from them. More marketing than function. They are no different from the light sand blasting that other manufacturers apply to the face, and have little or no effect on your shot.

i have the tour cg7 black pearl irons, they hit great and smooth and i have had them for about a year and still rip them. So the grooves last for awhile.

The OP wasn't talking about the actual grooves, just the laser cut face roughing lines between the grooves. If the actual grooves wear out that fast then something is wrong. The edges will lose their sharpness, especially if you spend a lot of time practicing in sand, but they will still work as intended to channel water and grass away from the hitting face. All the sharp edges do anyway is strip the cover off the ball on full shots. They don't add a significant amount of spin.

Echoing what Gerald said, the rough surface of the Vokeys has nothing to do with the "spin milling". The groove itself is spin milled, not the little lines between the grooves. As far as I've read, those are caused by the machining process.

    • Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

    • I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus. 
    • I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
