Spend 10 Save 100 And Get More Spin (Video) - by Pete Styles

One of the questions I often get asked by club golfers is how can I spin the ball on the green tee, how can I fly the ball onto the green and spin it back like those guys do on the TV? And I once saw something about Sergio Garcia and he talked about changing wedges every four weeks. So every four weeks in tournament play he was playing he was actually changing his wedges. So that’s 16 rounds of golf if he made the weekend on each of those tournaments. Maybe a little bit of practicing between as well but 16 rounds of golf he is changing his wedges.

Now I don’t know many people can afford to do that, so most people would stick with their wedges for a number of seasons, some people even up to eight or 10 seasons with the same wedges. Now is that person that’s then asking me how they can spin the ball on the green. The first thing I'm going to do is pick their wedge up and just run my finger and my finger nail across the face on the golf club and guaranteed I would feel it'll be quite smooth. I certainly won't feel the sharp edges that I'd like to be able to feel on a new wedge. So if money is tight and you can't afford to buy new wedges every 16 rounds of golf like Sergio Garcia is, here is a little tip; go to Google and type in groove sharpening blade, groove sharpening blade. And there'll be half a dozen of these little devices that will pop up. And it's the device that looks similar to this one. And what we do with this is we run the end of the groove sharpening blade into the grooves pushing down quite hard and there is a sharp blade at the end that will cut into the groove and scour the grooves nicely. Now as long as you're not changing the shape of the actual groove and you're not changing it's original depth, this is legal to do. All you're actually doing is just digging out the debris that’s in there and making sure the edges feel nice and sharp. And what you'll be able to do then it's just run your finger over the top of each groove and you'll be able to feel there is a little bit more in there than there was before, it sharpened it up a little bit. Next time you go to the golf course and you strike down on a ball certainly that ball will react a bit better and spin a little bit. And you can always tell when you got your grooves nice and sharp because it should actually be a little bit of golf ball just left in the grooves after each shot, certainly if you get one of those real good sort of 80 yard biters that you're hitting down on and you got nice big fresh sharp grooves, you might see a little bit of ball just on the club face and you know when that ball lands on the green its going to react and spin back. So if new wedges aren’t on the cards because you don't want to spend that much money on new golf clubs, go and get a groove sharpening blade, push that through the wedges a few times a year, only takes a couple of minutes per club and you’ll have ball spinning back on the green for fun. 2015-04-01
