I had a long talk with a club builder yesterday about wedges, grooves and marketing and we got to talking about "pre groove rule" and how it was talked about that certain wedges were spin "monsters" and others did not spin as much.
We were speaking about some of the biggest names (OEMs) in golf and how some would say "this one spins the most" and "this one lacks spin" and he asked a very valid question.
"If many of the wedges had grooves at the maximum level and even more so, most of them were of similar shape, weighting and design, why would one spin more than the other?"
It got me thinking and revisiting wedges and comparing them in looks, weight distribution and more. I started to compare them and have formed my own conclusion on the idea that will be saved for now, but I would love to hear everybody's input on the idea about wedges and why they believe some spin more than others, using the criteria that they were using maximum groove cuts.
Really interesting conversation as it pertains to how I (we) perceive clubs and wedges in particular.
