GROOVE RULES EXPLAINED

As you may have heard there are some changes  being introduced by the R&A and the USPGA with regard to the Grooves on Golf Clubs.  Below is an extract from the R&A website which explains how this rule will effect you.  In summary for the vast majority of us golfers this rule will not effect us until 2024!  What you will see is that both types of grooves will continue to be sold over the next couple of years, but manufacturers will cease producing "non conforming" clubs by the end of 2010, and thus over time you will only be able to purchase new "conforming" clubs.
 

Effective 1 January 2010, there were revisions to golf's equipment Rules, which are designed to enhance the benefits of accuracy by making playing from the rough a more challenging prospect in future. The new Rules, which relate to club face grooves, were the culmination of an extensive collaborative research project between The R&A and the United States Golf Association. This research showed that modern groove configurations can allow players to generate as much spin from the rough as is available from the fairway, resulting in a reduction in the value of accuracy.

The revised Rules will significantly increase the spin differential between shots from the fairway and shots from the rough, by limiting groove volume and groove edge sharpness. All of the existing limitations on grooves will remain in place.

The rule limiting groove volume will be applied to all clubs (excluding drivers and putters). The limit on groove edge sharpness will be applied to clubs with loft greater than or equal to 25 degrees (generally a standard 5-iron and above).

The Rules will apply to all new models of clubs manufactured after 1 January 2010. Existing models manufactured prior to this date*, which meet the current regulations, will continue to be regarded as conforming under the Rules of Golf until at least 2024.

It is intended that the new Rules will be introduced as a Condition of Competition at top professional level from 1 January 2010 and at top amateur level and in other professional events from 1 January 2014. The R&A and the USGA will introduce such a Condition of Competition at their respective championships in accordance with this schedule. The world's top professional tours for both men and women, and the organisers of golf's major championships, have all shown their support for the new groove regulations and the majority have already implemented the Condition of Competition.

A summary of this phased introduction – and how it affects each category of golfer – is included below:
