I just bought the izzo golf club medic to regroove the irons, I have seen a couple post on here that seems that some people are just doing the 7, 8,9, and then the wedges. My clubs are a bit old so should I just sharpen them all ? I already did the gap wedge, and you can see the grooves shining when you lay it down now. I am afraid to do the gunmetal wedges, not sure if they have special grooves.
So which one's should I re-groove. I am not too worried about roll with the longer Irons I hit the ball so high that they rarely get roll anyhow.
you could do the 7,8,9,p. the others like you said, won't make much of a difference, you can sharpen the gun metel wedges, but you risk rusting, buy some gun blueing at any department store or gun shop which will help darken the shinyness then use a protectorent like wd40 to keep it from rusting.
Like mikey said protect the gunmetal wedges, butthey should get a once over with the groover. As far as the lower irons I would still do them to make sure the grooves are clean and consistant. You won't notice a big difference in them as much as you will with the wedges and 9 iron. Don't get us wrong it IS a good thing to do them all being that they are old irons and eveyones needs it now and then. I do my set once a year and do the 9-lob wedge 2-3 times a year depending how much I play and where.
Thanks guys, I am going to do them all now since they are about 4-5 years old, and I am going to hold off on the gunmetal wedges until I get some blueing.
Just finished up the 3-GW , some of the less used clubs sharpened up real easy, no resistance at all. Some of the more used clubs were really hard to pull through and took a while to smooth out. But they all shine now in the light.

DO NOT USE WD40 to protect your bluing. As a gunsmith, I have heard this for years and it is wrong. WD40 is a rust remover and gun bluing is a rust. It is a controlled rust but it is rust none the less. By using WD40 on anthing that has been blued, you are prematurely removing the bluing(rust). Use a light machine oil like 3 in 1 to coat your clubs. Never use WD40 on guns or anything blued(gunmetal).

Thanks for the heads up, I have just been using REM oil on my wedges since I clean my guns with that stuff, I already had a can handy.
