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.

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By iacas · Posted

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…

      I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
