Golf Groover announces sale of it’s 100,000th groove sharpener
Put Some Grooves Back in That ‘Ol ButterKnife
Most of us aren’t good enough ball strikers to wear a consistent pattern like you see on all the pro’s wedges…okok we know you can…but…many golfers can’t. So for all the rest of us that use the WHOLE face we say to you, “learn how to get your money’s worth out of your wedges….and use all the wedge”. Actually we are just kidding, try to become better and make a small pattern.
Well, whether you’re a great ball striker or a guy that swings like a righty trying to play lefty…you have all owned an iron or a wedge that has grooves worn down to the point it is better off used as a butterknife then a sandsave weapon…so what do you do with it? Well in the past you took it to the local golf shop an got yourself a crisp $5 bill for trade-in to use towards a shiny new one.
Growing In Popularity
Well the Golf Groover and about 32 other people that have jumped on the “golf club groove sharpening” bandwagon say those days are over. And from the looks of all the options we had sent to us to try they might be right. I never thought that there would be so many garage tinkerers interested in refurbishing a $50 wedge. Well then again, in today’s economy anyway to save a buck is understandable. And I really think all the options we tried, actually do work. But how well?

Comments – It worked well…just don;t like the fact it does not have a handle. It can slip and scratch the face of your clubs. You can use tape to cover but just takes longer. Overall though it worked well.

Comments – This one is the cheapest by a long shot only costs $9.95 compared to $19.95-$29.95 for the others. It worked for us fine but I don’t think it will hold up for more then a season or two. But…if you need something unique to get someone for Christmas this might be the one.

My clubs are 440 stainless steel. How in the world would these clubs close up the grooves? 440 stainless is like the hardest substance known. These are not forged clubs. Why would u need to cut the edge again. But some good clubs. If u can sharpen it clubs they Are junk
