Just Ordered a Groove Sharpener a'la the same ones as were bulk ordered on here

[Bushka]

Any tips?

Particularly interested in using it on my old Cleveland 900 series 52*. Since i know a lot of you hooligans have them I figure i'd put it out there and find out.

I assume i have U grooves but will check it on the googleaphone first.

Me too. I was curious after seeing some threads. Would also be interested to hear of tips on what to do or NOT to do. Cheers

Make sure club/grooves are clean before starting.

Start with lightly pressured strokes building up with more pressure as you go and finish the with some oil (another 5 or so strokes) and you shouldn't have any dramas.

Thanks GMB. Do you know if the Vokey Spin Milled are U, V or Square grooves?

[Johnny Canuck]

They are U grooves, I believe.

They come with instructions. I clean them and apply a little WD40 right away. Be careful when you get near the end of the grooves as the tool can pop out and give you a nice scratch on your club face.

Thanks for the info guys.

Have you noticed an extension in the performance of your wedges? I know the ebay add talks about it but it wouldn't be a capitalist paradise if they weren't giving the consumer a little pocket massage.

I've had people especially with spin milled vokeys tell me the spin had decreased. Is that the grooves or the spin milling wearing down?

[Johnny Canuck]

It definitely extends the life of your wedges. I notice a substantial difference in spin after using the groove tool.

Did you ask them why they considered the spin had decreased? How does one guage that, over a hundred shots or a handful?

[Bushka]

No didn't delve too deeply into it. The main thing i was wondering particularly with the spin milled was the grooves vs the face milling debate.

DIdn't want to sound like a punish though so just nodded and moved along :)

Definitely increased the spin in my old Vokeys! That wouldn't have been too hard though, there wasn't much of the grooves left..
