    Why are Ping's milled TR grooves legal on a putter, but not on an iron?

    I'm not the USGA, but they seem very wide, sharp, deep and closely-spaced. What's the rule that makes 'em legal on a putter but not a wedge? (Not that they would survive more than a few impacts on a wedge, mind you.)

    New Mizuno 850 Driver with sliding weight slots to move CG forward and back

    Closing face angle on adjustable drivers while searching for the acceptable loft.

    Please help me figure this out. In testing numerous drivers from various manufacturers this year, I have had a hard time juggling loft and face angle. I figured out pretty quickly that "9.5" from one company didn't equal "9.5" from another and that I had to look at what actual launch angles...
