The year is just about over and it was a great one.
I didn’t accomplish many of the things that I set out to accomplish, but the road map is becoming more clear as each day passes. I accomplished some of the things on my to-do list, but fell short in some places too. I’m going to talk more about that in the next couple of days.

-Mike

I think we all sort of intuitively know that new, sharp wedge grooves are best for getting spin around the greens. Well, that fact was scientifically verified in the January 2007 issue of Golf Magazine (p 99).
Hot Stix Golf, an independent club fitting lab, conducted an experiment to show just how much worn grooves affect ball spin on wedge shots. They tested two 56-degree sand wedges. One, a new Titleist Vokey Spin Milled wedge, and the other, [...]
