BE READY FOR EVERY SHOT - READY SHOT - BE READY FOR EVERY SHOT - READY SHOT

Grooves are much like tire treads. They are designed to channel dirt, water and other debris away from the club head.
If grooves are impacted, dirt has no where to go and the ball does not hit the club face square.

Data from a 2021 and a 2024 test by showed that dirty grooves on a 7-iron reduced spin rate 52% (to 2,566rpm from 5,399rpm and to 5,759rpm from 10,552rpm respectively).
This is a significant reason to keep club head grooves clean to maintain the accuracy of your shots.

Testing also showed that dirty gooves can affect up to 7% of club head speed.
Where most people are trying to gain speed, cleaning clubs can help protect your current club head efficiency.
