Re: Wedge groove sharpener, keeps grooves legal!
i think this topic is one for the Mythbusters team.
i've read the entire thread and i think i'm now more confused than ever.
My understanding was that clean groves helped grip the ball and as such added more spin.
A milled face is obvious though, and i've seen what they do to a ball. They rip it to shreads and get an enourmous amount of spin in the process.
But the soft cover on a golf ball is going to catch the groves on the clubface at impact which should help grab the ball and put more spin on it. I've seen the results myself on the balls i hit when i see lose skin and scuffs on the ball i've just hit clean. Isn't this why we are told to keep out groves clean.
Like someone else said. both sides have valid arguements, there's no doubting that.
