JPStuff, there seems to be conflicting information about this subject..
Another important design element of wedge is groove design. Grooves are the horizontal lines that run across the face of a golf club. The purpose of grooves is to channel away moisture and debris at contact to ensure maximum surface area contact between the ball and clubface, ensuring consistency and accuracy. There are two main types of groove design, V and U grooves. V grooves, commonly found in Titleist wedges, do not spin the ball as much as U grooves. U grooves, found in Cleveland and Taylormade wedges, maximize spin as the grooves are deeper and squarer, and “bite” into the ball more. Currently, Taylormade wedge faces and grooves are CNC-milled and ensure the most consistent and highest rates of spin for retail wedges.
