yea most people say from their experience its only affected out of the rough but how do you feel about picking one up to replace your current wedges? Will you look for wedges with the old grooves? If you had to replace your wedges right now, would you buy conforming?

Yes, I would.

The reason why I ask is because when you playing your buddy and your both over in the rough with no green to work with, where he has a wedge with old grooves but you recently just upgraded to new conforming wedges your at a disadvantage, right. So next time you are shopping for new wedges say next year are you going to look for old groove wedges?

The question is "Would I buy wedges with conforming grooves?" I said that I would. It didn't say would you go out of your way to find them, only if you would buy them. In a couple of years you will have to go out of your way to find the old grooves. It really doesn't matter to me.

Wrong. Unless you have the swing speed and the ball striking ability of a top pro, you will never know the difference. As it has been for the last couple of years, this is a non issue for the typical amateur golfer.

I understand that the manufacturers can't make the old grooves after this year
BUTTTTTTT!!!! I'd be willing to bet that the golf shops are going to put in several years worth of inventory. Nonetheless, I've already backed up my wedges and they are hidden in my coat closet.

Duffy,

The reason I asked was that motteler621 had asked 2 question in his post, "Will you look for wedges with the old grooves?" and, "If you had to replace your wedges right now, would you buy conforming?" I just wasn't sure which question you were answering... Thanks for clarifying.

    • . I've been Playing Golf for: 10 years, 1 year consistently  My current handicap index or average score is: 100 My typical ball flight is: fade The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: inconsistent ball strike   I caught the bug about a year ago and have been playing roughly once a week. Have been getting better with my short game and putting but my ball striking from tee and fairway lets me down. Had my first lesson last month which identified an over the top swing compensated by an open club face. Have been trying everything to get on plane over the last month. Have found that using a bend and press into my left leg as the trigger for my downswing coupled with finding the turn and rotation in both my arms to release the club properly has helped my get nearer to the correct plane. Video below is where I am with it currently. Haven’t taken this new swing to the course yet! Any comments or suggestions are welcome  Videos:  I've been Playing Golf for: 1 year properly  My current handicap index or average score is: 100 av score  
    • That's always been the deal. You put in the work hyper focused on ONE or at most two things, so that you don't have to think about anything except a single feel or the target or something on the course.
    • Blind squirrel finds a nut and putted well. no, I decided to play a round being athletic rather than paralyzing myself with swing thoughts. I have no clue if I was doing what I worked on. It was the last day and I was tired of freezing at the top of the swing not know if one of four outcomes were going to happen. 
    • Day 299 - 2025-07-26 I spent 15 minutes practicing but it was almost pointless. It wasn't good practice. I was not really in it, but I put the time in. Oh, I did some chipping work before-hand, and that was good. I could have just left after that. 🙂 
    • Well that's different.
