It might lead DTG to rethink that green/black idea, at the same time. Theirs would make at least 4 out there.

Vertical groves give an extra 10 Yds... Seriously!

colej He's definitely a whore, but how bad could it be if he was willing to bag it?

      He has bagged a Wilson Whale and a ceramic driver among others...draw your own conclusions.

          All studies show that grooves on a driver have very, very little effect on .... well, anything to do with ball flight.
          Remember the SMT 455db and all the discussion that ensured. Most grooves on a driver are superficial, cosmetic.

            I do. And I have 1 of those 'illegal smooth faced' drivers. 🤣

                Just sold my 455. One of the best heads ever and after years of use it always looked like new. The paint finish was second to none. Absolutely the most beautiful head I’ve ever owned. I still have a 12 degree one in the rockstars bag. One day I’ll sell it and the eye 2’s to update his bag.

                  shokosugi impressive stats with it. I doubt it's bad, but I also doubt the veritcal grooves do a damn thing other than interest people who like something different.

                    Here's an excerpt from the patent of the Vertical Groove. It's complete claptrap.

                    “The vertical grooves on the club faces of the present invention have a beneficial effect on the ball and tends to generate a forward top spin traction producing a straight-line trajectory. Having only vertical groove face configurations, the vertical groove concept of this invention minimizes adverse direction such as exaggerated slicing or hooking and produces a low trajectory boring ball flight with top spin and increased distance.”
