Yes, you need to spray WD40 on the club first then used the tool and it will sharpen and save the tool

It goes a lot smoother if you use some spray lubrication before you use the tool.

When using the sharpener, u should used a lubricant like WD-40. It really helps!

Effectively who will control the grooves, but more importantly how? With this tool you may enlarge the grooves of about a couple of hundreds of millimeters, but the were used of about the same... What about the angle of sides' grooves... And again how to mesure that... Frankly I already thought of that sometimes, for cleaning purpose, as my wedges aren't that used... Unfortunately. Thanks for this interesting video, cheers

Try clamping the club in a vise if you use the tool again. Either use a rubber cushion with a groove in it, like the ones used to hold the shaft in a vise when regripping, or a pad fashioned from some other appropriate material to clamp the clubhead securely in a vise. I'd think a lubricant with a bit more viscosity, like motor oil, would work better than WD-40. Seems WD-40 has become the panacea for everything, much like duct tape.😉 As for "legality"-- if restoring grooves to their original legal configuration is "illegal", then your brand new wedge is "illegal" as well. You're allowed to change out old grips with conforming new grips, are you not? If the rules allowed Tiger Woods to recruit a crowd equivalent to a large landscaping crew to move a 1000 lb boulder, I'm not overly concerned about a tool like this. On the other hand, this silly legalism took a win away from Craig Stadler for kneeling on a towel so his pants wouldn't get dirty to hit a ball out of a bush under the rule of "improving your stance".....O!M!G!--What the heck are you doing when you get your feet "settled in" for a bunker shot? Okay, I just stepped down from my soap box.

I saw this tool a while back. Saw the same complaints you mentioned. Looked around for something I already have that might work. Found 2 options. 1) Was a Dremal tool. I was concerned it might do too much even though it was easier. Discovered an ice pick would work as well. That’s what I decided to use. It worked great. I don’t play any tournament golf, just recreational. We don’t adhere to every rule of golf. Our group just play to get out, get some exercise, as most of us are experienced, (older) trying to enjoy a difficult game… We’re not Tour players, playing for millions, with a team of people behind us. Unless you’re one of them, which I personally feel is sort of extreme, lighten up, and get out and play. More people leave the game, trying to emulate those guys, and most of us will never be able to….Lastly…. Stop wasting your hard earned dollars on the latest fad of equipment. All you’re doing is stuffing the pockets of those you see on TV. They don’t play with what you buy…Try getting out and practicing some. Try different swings that might be more practical for your ability. Video tape your swing with a cell phone. Those clubs currently in your bag will probably do just fine…..

I used this on my set of used high toes that had an even face, but clearly worn and rounded grooves with great results. The key is the wd-40 and lubricants. Without them I could easily see how you'd think it was a sham, but if used properly with the right aid you can make considerable improvement to the club. That feeling when the sunshine hits the grooves just right and they are gleaming back almost seeming to jump off of the face gives me all the confidence in the world. Use the wd-40 and TAKE YOUR TIME!!!

You need to use lubricant to increase effectiveness and save the tool from wear. It makes the club illegal but good to use on "practice" wedges. It really brings back a club to better than new if you do it right.

I have a different one that i got 10+ years ago, its definitely harder steel than the wedge and has two ends one for V the other for U grooves. I use it occassionally but i feel it only gets the dirt out :-) but it cant hurt. As for the legality of using these devices, that alone does not make the club non conforming at all, so go to town on it! Whether the grooves are conforming or not is a question of fact that could only be tested with specialised equipment. But of course there is also your conscience :-) provided that the tool you use is designed to be conforming its going to be almost impossible to breach the rules.

Are golf groove sharpeners legal? While it is perfectly legal to use a golf groove sharpener, your modified club must still comply with the rules of the game regarding golf groove alignment, depth and spacing. ... There are also limitations on how sharp grooves can be on any clubs with a loft greater than 25 degrees. So unless you got someone going CSI Forensics on your clubs they should be fine to use You can pick them up off EBay for about $10 each so even if they don't last long on it is almost as cheap as regripping a single club

I just bought a sharpener last week. I also re-gripped my driver to a thicker grip and had my swing speed tested (90mph). All this is due to your videos! (you are costing me money!! But i'm having fun getting back to golf since I haven't played but maybe 1 round a year for the last 10-12 years. Your instruction is spot-on and I like the shortness as I have always had a short attention span. I'm really having fun on the range and the weekly 9 holes. Plan on a full round of 18 when I work out a few more kinks. Been shooting bogey golf so far with a couple pars and a chance at a birdie. Need to get the doubles out. Thanks!

Just want to say I bought this exact tool and used it on my old 58 which is my 80 and in club and I immediately noticed more check on the ball from 20 to 50 yards love this tool and when you saw where the ends of the sharpener we’re getting wore down I was reading and if you use the size that doesn’t fit the grooves it over works the edge not sure how true that is but this tool is definitely worth getting if you have a club with worn grooves

I’ve had this tool for 4-5 years. I game 10 year old Nicklaus HighCT irons and a 50 year old Hogan Special sand wedge. I sharpen grooves twice a year on the SW, PW, LW and GW. It works great for me. Pro tip, Alex: put masking tape on toes and heels to prevent accidental scoring. Also, apply a spritz of WD-40 to clubface to lesson your elbow strain😉

They are a load of rubbish, made of softer material than the wedge so you see metal dust…but it doesn’t come from the wedge. The grooves get cleaned out and maybe marginally sharper but if the thing was made of proper material then you could actually do a good job with it to restore groove edges. More Chinese tat..
