Good day everyone, I love golf and absolutely everything that goes with it. Short game practice and on the course is my favorite part of the game.

I think I mostly understand why it is suggested to replace wedges more often these days, they essentially wear out the grooves causing less spin and control. That would be my first question - if that is in fact the full story.

I also wonder about the difference in older wedges vs the newer ones. I feel like my older Vokeys never really wore out or lost spin. So my second question is about the way they are made; is it a softer metal these days or something else that makes them basically wear out faster?

Lastly, is it possible to regroove either the older or newer wedges and have them perform like new again? And is it conforming to USGA and other governing bodies?

Thank you for your inputs and guidance.

David
