I just read an article about the new grooves on irons that golfers will be having to purchase. Tour players now, and us weekend golfers in the future.
The article was very technical - it discussed launch angle, spin rate, apex, descent angle, and more. The test they performed went into detail about the ball, weather, golfers, and all kinds of stuff. They used a 56 degree wedge, manufacturer unknown.
What was very interesting was it could be broken down to a couple of sentences...
If you play the new grooves, then shots from the fairway will roll about twice as far when they land on the green.
If you play the new grooves, then shots form the rough will roll about twice as far when they land on the green.
Here is a bit more for you. Shots from the rough will roll about three to four times as much as they do from the fairway. Didn't matter whether it was new grooves or old.
