Looks like the USGA is really trying to clarify and close any and all loopholes on their new groove change rule. Manufacturers were trying to go around the issue by making clubs that "technically" conformed to their specs as far as the grooves go, but were still way, way closer to the effectiveness of the old design. Basically, if the old design gave you 10,000 rpms of spin out of the rough, and the USGA's new design is supposed to give you 5,000 rpms, and manufacturers are making wedges that have the new grooves but still get 7,000 to 8,000 rpms, this is a NON-Conforming club.
In a word, yikes. Looks like they are cracking down and are modifying their rule to make sure that everyone knows it is the effectiveness, NOT THE Design that matters most.
Thoughts?
