I apologize if this is been asked before.

I have a Callaway 56* forged and Titliest Vokey 52*, can I regroove them myself or am I better off taking them to a club man and have them do it. Also any idea on cost? thank you

Just an option...I regroove my wedges at my local clubmakers shop, he has taught me how and lets me do it to my wedges if they need to be done as well as lets me do some others for him. But if you want a quick solution..this would be it.

They do pretty good work and will re-chrome/restore the finish

thank you. I also noticed in a small window on that page a deluxe scoreline regrooving tool- any good? What does the clubmaker's shop use?

Here's the trick to "re-grooving" a club... The reason that "grooves wear out" is that the surface material of the iron has either been compacted or worn away. While regrooving will affect the amount of backspin that a club will impart to a ball, it will not compensate for the concavity of a worn iron/wedge clubface. I know it's minute, but this will make the club perform even more poorly when struck slightly off-center (imagine the opposite of a bulged and rolled clubface). The only true way to restore an iron or wedge is to either build up the worn section of a club with additional material OR mill the face down and, in both cases, regroove the club.

Note well that the above post is based purely on physics and may pay only the smallest of dividends in the real world. Personally, I have a carbide tip tool that I use on my grooves every few months to clean and renew the grooves on my short irons and wedges.

I just use a fine screwdriver, probably not the greatest tool in the world but it works. Prob not legal either now I think of it

where can i send a couple older wedges to get the faces milled and then regrooved? i emailed the iron factory to ask but he never answered my email.

I have that tool. It's like a screw driver with a V shape, and U shape metal groover head. It worked really well for me on the wedges.

There is always the Iron Factory in CA. I think they still refinish wedges for Titleist. They have had a spotty history in the past but, seem back in order now. Wedges are fairly inexpensive and I prefer to buy new ones when I wear out the grooves.

The Golfsmith hand-held regrooving tool works great. Actually too great. Six months after regrooving my wedges, they are still eating up the cover of my ball during each round. I now keep a small fingernail emory board in my pocket to smooth down the scuff marks that are produced by my wedges during the round. Legal or not, I sure like the way the ball hops and stops after regrooving.

co-worker and I were thinking about getting one of those from golfsmith... i didn't think they worked... but, if you guys say so, i might try it.

I've been looking at one of these (either the Golfsmith tool, or one made by a member on another forum). The key seems to be letting the tool do the work, and not applying too much pressure. That way you're just correcting rolled edges and not expanding the grooves beyond the legal limit.

Exactly the point of how to regroove your wedges... let the tool do the work.
I did regroove two wedges from a V-Groove into a Square-Groove.

I use the Golfsmith regrooving tool , not the Club Medic. The Club Medic wears out way too quickly.

If you're really into regrooving your own clubs... this is the tool.

YMMV

I notice that Golfsmith sells a replacement cutter head for their tool for $9. At that price, it's worth a try, I think I can afford $9 and a few minutes of work to find out if it reall works.

You're talking about the 6-point cutting blade, right? I'm still using the same one I got with the complete kit. It hasn't shown any wear at all.
