If you do, be careful. I picked one up on ebay and attempted to refurbish my worn 60 degree wedge. It worked great....too great. After doing some reading, I fear that I made the club illegal.
I don't feel like I widened the grooves any but the edges are so sharp, I can stop the ball in its tracks with a simple pitch shot. When I take a full swing, I'm picking strands of surlyn out of the grooves. I tried sanding the face down to minimize it but no dice....it's still shaving balls.
I'd hate to get called out in the club championship or something so I'm going to retire the club. Anyone seeing this club putting the breaks on like that on a short shot around the green is likely to question it. I just went on ebay and found a replacement club with a clean face so I learned my lesson.
