Clubface Grooves
June 17, 2009 by admin
photo credit: Zunami Grooves on the upper section of the clubface are primarily used for alignment, they do not play a role in achieving backspin. The cut-off point is the 5th groove from the bottom. If the ball is struck any higher than the 5th groove, the shot is futile. The upper half of the clubface does not play a role in the shot.
If you use a tee on par three holes, do not tee the ball any higher than 1/2 inch above the ground (1/4 inch is ideal). Tee the ball higher and it will be struck with the upper half of the clubface.
When in deep rough, with the ball sitting up, grip down on the handle, this will shorten the club’s length so the ball can be hit with the lower half of the clubface.
