    Hiya! Happy Tuesday! Happy Holidays!

    I could use your input regarding wedge grooves.

    I currently play 5-7 rounds per week, 300 rounds per year, and am a GHIN 0.0.

    I regularly clean my wedge grooves during play. However, I’ve been wondering about wedge “groove sharpening.” Here’s where I could use your input.

    1. Do you “sharpen” your wedge grooves? 2. If so, have you found this task to be beneficial to your wedge play and overall game? 3. How often do you sharpen your wedge grooves? 4. What tool (s) do you use? 5. What tool (s) would you recommend?

    Thank you, I look forward to hearing from you, and let me know if you have any questions.

    According to Titleist website: Wedges may look fine, but may not be delivering maximum spin. You should inspect your wedges for groove wear every 60-70 rounds. Start by inspecting the overall physical condition of the wedge and groove. A visit to your local Titleist Certified Fitter to evaluate launch, spin, and roll out will ensure you are playing with the best performing wedges.

    Regarding groove sharping, from what I have read online, that can make your wedge USGA non confirming if you play in USGA Sanctioned tournaments.

    If you have 300 rounds on those wedges, I would recommend new wedges. Just saying, with respect.
