I generally go to golf retail stores and pick up pre-owned wedges on the cheap. Take them home and sharpen the grooves. They perform just as good as new wedges as in your video. Golf buddies tell me they are going to go buy new wedges. I tell them let me sharpen the grooves first. Every time, they keep their wedges and do not buy new. Been sharpening grooves on wedges for years!

Great video! Thanks!

Mr. Short Game this video was groovy!!!! Thanks I am here all week.

I used a groove sharpener/cleaner on my old fav Callaway S2H2 wedges. I didn't think it would make much difference but it did. I practice on an old golf course that has some pretty hard and fast greens, and the ball actually stayed on better after doing that.

Am I the only one who sees this as clickbait? I thought I was going to learn how to make an old club look like new.

[paulpinard]

Thanks for doing this one Matt and your timing could not be better for me. I was actually considering sending my wedges out to a company to have them re-grooved. After seeing this video I can effectively do it myself and save me time, money and a time gap of a few weeks not having them.
Great stuff buddy👍

I'm thinking sharpen grooves as described, but also hit it with a quick wire brush to de-burr the fresh cuts. That may help with chewing the ball up too much. Thoughts on that?

[oldguyrulesweyerman]

I have one and love it. As long as you take your time and pay close attention to the groove angle with that of the cutter.

Matt I did this a year ago with my old wedges saved a fortune on getting new ones and after I finished sharpening the groves I went over them with some fine wet and dry sand paper and it just takes the rough edges off they stiff spin like new but you don’t wreck the ball👍🇬🇧🥇🏌🏿‍♂️⛳️

Ready for new wedges but --- Just ordered the groove sharpener. Thanks!

[philosophactory]

I’m a serial groove sharpener. It just keeps my wedge grooves crisp bitey and spinny

[ginge]

You should use that club and hit the top 4 branded balls for a durability test 10 shots with same ball one from each brand 👍🏻 let’s see who actually has the best durable cover 👊🏻🏌🏻‍♂️⛳️

I used a mini dremel with a cutting disc. Worked a treat.

[bob]

I have the exact same sharpener and it does work. The second round I played after using a sharpened wedge I ripped a ball back for a hole out on a par 4. There are a lot of gimmicks out there but this will give some extra life to your clubs. Be sure to match the tool to same groove on your club. 👍

[krabboy]

I have one of these they work on all your irons, great

[blitzbuffet]

I take good care of my SM4, I clean the crap out of it and use a groove sharpener and never need to buy a new one unless it is damage somehow. Great Video!

[calvindebeverly]

How do you know which cutter to use on your club?

[nathangoode]

This is good news. I love my vintage irons and I love the feel of the matching sw. Just feels more comfortable to swing. I’ll sharpen the grooves. I’ve always struggled with longer shots with my newer sw

[jtuds]

how do you know which pokey thing on the tool to use?

[Hegarz]

I have 2 of those sharpeners sitting in a drawer never used it, figured it for a gimmick. Something to do during lockdown now !
