Heh, I didn't even know they made tools for this - I just figured after a while of playing with them, and they get real worn down, you just pick up a couple of new ones...haha.

no not that one, but I bought a small file set like the cheap jewelry file set you see at the dollar store or the flea market, and theres 2 in the set of 5 that work great... withing an hour I had touched up my irons and let me tell you I could see the difference right away.. it was a huge improvement. the set cost me like 4.00.....

Id buy new wedges but I really love mine. So even buying the same exact wedge wouldnt help. Ive grown to love my wedges. Im gonna go into a home depot and look at thier filing tools and maybe see if I can come up with my own. Ill look for a jewelry set too.

I bought one form golfsmith.com and it works great. It does v and u grooves. You can actually feel the difference after you use it. I had to buy rubber pads for my vise to hold the club still, its tough to hold the club and work the tool at the same time. It was like $20 I think, but very good investment.

I bought a club medic tool to sharpen my grooves from golfsmith. It worked well in my PW-8 iron which are taylormade rac mb's . but it wasn't strong enough to scratch the surface of my pelz wedges because their faces are tougher than regular carbon steel

Thats one I was actually looking into. It seems well made and a couple good reviews on it. 26 bucks though

Well some of us happen to be too poor to do that.

      Winter Depression Thread

      By JetFan1983 · Posted

      You know what, I have thought about moving to Arizona a little bit, but I do love the winters here. It really is nice down here from like November thru March. And I totally would do a home setup thing, I really should, but my stupid tennis elbow is really so easily flared up. It's getting better every month with dry needling, but it's so annoying too. I do think I'm finally solving the root causes thru both the dry needle treatments and fixing this steepness/toe strike thing. The former actually does heal it and learning how to plane the club correctly reduces the trauma the elbow takes because of the increase in sweet spot hits. I really should just do a trip to Scottsdale though, I went there once many years ago and it was a beautiful place. Didn't play golf at the time so I really should go. I'd love to get away from the humidity too. And I know there are great mats out there, like at Golf Evolution for example I've been told. In my case, I will hit foam balls off a mat sometimes at home and that has some of the effects of actually hitting a ball while reducing the impact. And this is maybe a topic for another thread, but I've found just making air swings to be more beneficial to me than I originally thought -- that going really fast and not hitting a ball shows my flaws quite a bit too. I'll film myself just making fast air swings inside and trying to fix it. It's almost like speed training except if speed training included trying to make a really technically sound swing on top of it. Hopefully this comment isn't too much of a tangent, but It is the winter depression thread, so maybe tangents about what to do with oneself indoors with golf is okay. Appreciate it though, I really have thought about Arizona a couple times over the last year at least.

      Day 23: chipped in the garage with foam balls. Focused on crisp contact. Did mostly lower chips but mixed in some higher ones. Slightly more open stance, plus ball more toward middle, plus higher handle led to the best results. Need to keep those 3 things in mind.

      Day 2: Worked on distance wedge swing feels. The feel for me is to keep the upper body down more while straightening the lead leg.

      Day 18 (September 22).  I understand the two club drill better, and was alternating that and hitting a few smooth 6-iron shots;  indoors, off a mat, into the net.  I spent about 20 minutes on this thus far tonight.

      I don't know your family or work situation, but have you considered relocating to Arizona?  I was out there the past month or so and played quite a few times;  it's hot, but not humid.   Or, if your house is sufficient size, consider setting up an indoor practice area, so at least when the weather or your schedule isn't cooperating, you can still hit a few. ... said Shindig, who has routinely disappeared for months, sometimes a year or more, at a time because of getting busy at work and just quietly sobs to himself as he walks past the room where his mat and net are during that time.  Dang, I need to not allow that to happen again.
