The best grooves

[5ball]

I am going to upgrade my wedges this year, and I was wondering if I could ask for some help in understanding which groove shapes perform best or is it all up to personal preference? Thanks

[Hilferty]

The best wedge in the game is the Titleist Vokey Spin Milled. Hands down.

[golfaholic]

Square grooves. Which is why they will be illegial in the coming years.

[QueenCityGolfer]

Yes. The Spin Milled Vokey wedges are without question the best in golf.

[Omen2]

square grooves are correct...but the best wedges are the gauge design...they have the most aggressive face design i have ever seen......






tell me that doesnt look aggressive...spin milled are pansies

holy sweet ****!, is that beast legal?

[Omen2]

of course it is

there are guys on tour that play them

isnt it dead sexy though.....not too nice to golf balls....or greens.

dont tell me you guys really thought that titleist, cleveland, mizuno, or taylor made had the top of the line stuff


next you will be telling me that scotty cameron is the creme de la creme of putters.....

[golfaholic]

Of course I won't, I'm not one to tell a lie. Rife is the "creme de la creme" of putters

[Omen2]

i would have respected you more had you said TPM or RJB

but then again you do play WILSON....

[emc]

It's obviously Bettinardi

[Omen2]

rjb's are nice, but hard to argue with tpm softtails....

[golfaholic]

Havent heard of either of those POS things you said so they must not be very good.

GO Wilson Staff.

[DaCroosh]

I have the Black TP wedges... i love them@!

[Omen2]

wouldnt expect anyone with WILSONs to be familiar with RJB or TPM....that would be like the RCMP knowing which way to mount the horse....

[5ball]

Thanks for all the info!! That gauge design wedge looks positively scary. Sorry Omen2, I also play Wilson irons. I guess thats why I haven't heard of TPM or RJB either? I like the W/S line. And as far as putters go, Odyessey 2Ball White Steel is tops! I will list my gear for you to have some fun with Omen2

[5ball]

Here's the list of sticks:
Adam's 430Q nvs reg
Cleveland 16*halo hybrid
W/S hb6 19* hybrid
W/S hb6 22* hybrid
Wilson Deep Red 5-pw
Maxfli revolution 55* sw
Odyssey 2Ball White Steel

And soon hopefully at least one new wedge!

[pingman360]

RJB= Bettinardi
TPM= T.P. Mills

RJB makes putters for mizuno currently (as well as independantly)

T.P. Mills makes sweet putters and i think he give one to every US President

you guys really havent head of these guys??? theyre pretty well known...

I will crush you with one hand.

Iv heard of this guy 'Bettinardi'..dident know he was reffered to as RBJ. He must be the cats meow.

[5ball]

I have also heard of Bettinardi but not as RJB. But not T.P.Mills.(sorry). I listed my hybrids as hb6, They are W/S dh6's. clubs are in hibernation so I had to go and check to be sure. Anyways, back to the issue of wedge grooves. any thoughts on SMT durometer wedges they have square grooves and some not bad reviews. thanks

[El Guapo]

I have the black-nickel 53 and raw-oxide 58. The feel from these is excellent. I can spin the ball plenty with these. I suggest you at least try them out. As others have said, Titleist Vokey's are great as well.

[Omen2]

before i get back to the wedges...

another few names for some of you newer guys to google and add to your reitoire of knowledge: Slighter ( see also: sweet as.s handmade putter dude), epon, fourteen, maruman, and tourstage


not bad sticks...you could upgrade to some mizuno stuff and be worldclass.

to have not heard of TPM is herasy....

anything mizuno is good to go...even their wedges....i am to the point in my game where i want to go with handmade....that way i can get each clubhead shaped exactly the way i want...each with the bounce and sole grind that will do what i want it to do. So Scratch it is and i will be saving up my pennies until i can afford the full customization that i want....

Save your money. Think of your family, you selfish bastard.

[Omen2]

what....they are still eating....they still have a roof and clothes....they still go on family vacations....why is it selfish of me to spend some saved money on good golf equipment?

[bjdrivers]

Yes, Jeff Maggert wouldn't do that. He's content with his standard issue PINGs!!

[Mward2002]

That wedge just looks brutal. Where would one find said wedge?

[Omen2]

http://www.gaugedesigns.com/archive.html

about half way down the page


might also give their putters a look...nice stuff all in all

[Horseballs]

I sincerely hope you are in no way verbally assaulting Sweet Swingin' Jeff Maggert.
Vokey SM for spin. Cleveland CG10's for feel. I've owned both and currently play the Vokeys. They feel harsher than the CG10's but spin like crazy.
Those Gauge Designs look good and Sonartec has some pretty sweet looking wedges as well, but I've haven't tried them. If I was in the market, I'd give the Sonartecs a try. Good luck finding Gauge products. I looked for a specific GD putter for about 8 months on eBay and various online retailers and could never find the one I wanted so I gave up.
It's a sad day when I can't rile up Omen...

[Omen2]

your just not trying hard enough.... you gotta insult my mizunos to get me going...that or get happy back in here....

[Horseballs]

I can't, because I own them as well. You do have to be a mega-poontang to put anything but project x shafts in them though. It'd be like putting 87 octane in a Ferrari.

[Omen2]

you bastard.... its some thin ice brother... i think that project x is for the ladies... i prefer my rifle 6.0, a manly shaft option....but its cool that you play the project x's. Question: does your boyfriend play as well????

Let's pick this up tomorrow. I'm on my way out of the office.

[bjdrivers]

haha this is good. I like my S300's never tried the rifle or project-x.

Where the hell are you, Omen? I'm back and looking for a fight.
The only thing more feminine than rifles are Mizuno fairway woods. Everyone knows what the "F" stands for.
You better hit up eBay, because you've been outbid on those Nancy Lopez hybrids and the auction ends at noon.

Rivers? uh.....anyway, you know I was joking about Maggert, why would I talk smack about the 158th ranked player in the world?

This still applies.

Rifles are OK if you are a beginner.
I suggest we make our own thread so you don't threadjack all the other ones with your strange obsession with all things Horseballs.
