Richmond Golfer Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 What is the playable life of grooves on a forged club with regular play and practice. Will it last a season or lose spin faster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idrive Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 IMO.. I can't imagine that a wedge would not last at least a full season. (Jan to Jan) I'd be surprised if anyone hits a wedge practicing and playing any more that I do. I play all year, I don't have a winter season. I play at least 3 times a week and hit about 50 to 100 practice shots a week with my wedges. Hope this helps.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodsie Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 What is the playable life of grooves on a forged club with regular play and practice. Will it last a season or lose spin faster? Forged Wedges actually play better for me after several months of use. You can control the ball better after the edges are rounded off plus you can better control the spin. One caveat tho', if you practice a "lot" more than you play and your Course Super uses heavy, course sand on your Range, the wedge might not last a year as the face will become cupped and is no longer flat. If your practice area is good turf without too much sand, you can get a couple of years of use from your Wedges. My Super is nicknamed the "Sandman", thus I have "Practice Clubs" and I save the Playing Bag for the course. This way, I can get three/four years out of a Forged Wedge. BUT, usually TSG puts new Wedge designs in the Pro Shop long before I wear out a Wedge. I just gotta' try the new stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golf 37 Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 I have to agree with Goodsie, that you will get 2 years out of your wedges. I play at least 5 times a week and practice most days with my wedges. However, having said this I do change wedges every year but that's just due to the new wedges coming out of Japan.
