Nice video, very scientific on showing the groove geometry. But It looks like in the video (not sure if its the lighting/camera angle) that the grooves are more beveled on one side. Im guessing the groove sharpeners don’t really replicate that. So i will just continue to clean my clubs and hope for the best until i find a worthy replacement. Thanks for taking the time to show some classic ping clubs under the scope!
Shows how that little tool is basically 'only' cleaning out the grooves. I want the sharp as hell Ping Eye 2 illegal square grooves.....I used to have a fuzzy ball after a round of 18 holes with my old Pings.
I find it hilarious that the old Eye 2 grooves are still “banned”. Meanwhile, the new MicroMax grooves, Hydropearl finish, ZipCore, milling, and other new spin-control technology is A-OK.
Yes, at what point do we stop worrying about 30+ year old technology and start looking at some of the new ideas in grooves. Maybe everyone is too worried about how far the ball goes, not how much it spins.
@@icantgolf "how far it goes" You are correct, I find it fascinating that I could order a new club with a less of a loft and still call it a "Pitching wedge" and that loft was equal to older clubs 9-iron. "Look how far this new PW goes over my old shitty PW" is what you hear on the course.
@@hamjohn8737 The governing bodies don't care what number is stamped on the club. You could put a 3 on a 9 iron and it would still be legal so long as the grooves, shaft length, and a few other parameters conform. That's why some manufacturers have gone away from the number system in favor of just inscribing the degree of loft on the club.
DIY tools from Amazon, microscope PIP footage, shiny balls -- sometimes a video really does have it all!!!!

This video needs more views. Algorithm, do your thing
Very cool video. You should check out the GrooVex High Precision groove sharpener.

Well done, thank you for this... 👍🏾
Great channel !!! Thanks!
