Clean vs. Dirty Grooves: The Truth About Spin and Scoring
Aug 18, 2025
Most golfers spend thousands on wedges, balls, and lessons — but overlook the simplest performance factor of all: clean grooves. In our test, a clean 60° wedge averaged 10,552 RPM of spin. A dirty one? Just 5,759 RPM. That’s a 45% spin loss, the difference between a hop-and-stop birdie look and a release-to-20-feet two-putt. Spin isn’t magic — it’s physics. And dirty grooves rob you of control where it matters most: inside 100 yards.
Control the Contact, Forget the Spin: The Hidden Power of Clean Grooves
Jul 14, 2025
In golf, control begins with clean grooves that facilitate consistent contact, rather than chasing spin. Dirt, grass, and debris hinder your club's ability to make centered, reliable strikes. Prioritizing groove maintenance transforms your short game—reducing dispersion, boosting confidence, and shaping shots with precision. Incorporate a simple routine of groove cleaning using tools like Fendo’s Club Cleaner, and experience a marked improvement in shot accuracy and control. Master your contact for better scores and more predictable play.
