I want to get a vokey 52 degree Spin milled RAW wedge, 52 degrees.. I really want to get one used, but afraid of how worn out they get after just one season..

So Is there are way you can sharpen the grooves?? I could take my dremel with a little cutting wheel and dig in a little..

I understand this might not be legal, but I play for fun and don't think it will make much of a difference.

Let me know. THANKS

I think it's legal. Illegal is if you put something on the club face. Using that kind of tool is like cleaning the grooves making them almost new.

Figuratively, you're using almost "new" wedges in every round and that isn't against the USGA rules, is it?

this last yr was one of single best things I did. I bought a set of flea market jeweler file sets and did them myself. they now are just like new and I can once again get the ball to spin on the green or work the ball a bit. keeping your clubs clean on the course does wonders too. all to often I see guys with groves filled with grass/dirt/ect and that is a waste too.
so if your going to do your groves, don't forget to buy a good brush and clean your groves after each shot.
as for whether not its legal, no one is paying me to play golf or giving me new clubs to play with, so if making my older irons feel new again is a crime then so be it, I'll just have to live with that one I guess....lol

FYI A regular brush, plastic and metal brushes will not clean that well, I learned quickly that the best thing to add to your bag is this



YOU HAVE TO HAVE WATER otherwise it will not clean that well at all..

But you really need to try it to understand, you can brush the hell out of your clubs with the metal side of a club cleaner and then use what I posted and watch how much more dirt and grass comes out of it.

Let me add, I add water then a good squirt of dishwashing soap, then cap it off and shake it. It last's me the entire round.. Its also great for your confidence, looking at a brand new club at address everytime, just does something to help you improve your game.

    • Day 11: did mirror work for a while. Worked on the same stuff. 
    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
