I Want One Of Those:

TaylorMade Interchangeable Face TP Wedge

Until now when the grooves in your wedge wear out, you have go out and but a new wedge. TaylorMade have now come up with an easier, and less expensive, way to get new-groove performance. Their new TP wedges with xFT, short for Exchangeable Face Technology, offer a new innovation in the market: replaceable face plates. By using a torque wrench that is identical to the one that comes with the R9 driver, players can remove the face plate and screw in a new one with fresh grooves. The whole procedure can be done in about 60 seconds. For professionals and amateurs who have custom grinds on the heels or toes of their wedges, being able to replace just the grooves could mean less time tweaking new wedges. Available in even-numbered lofts between 50° and 60° (as well as 64°), the TP wedges have a classic teardrop shape, several bounce options and come standard with KBS High-Rev shafts.

Dr. and The Medic:  Proper Grip Pressure

Problem

You want more yardage and need to improve on accuracy.

Cure

Avoid applying pressure too soon with your trailing hand.

Therapy

Great players tend to apply pressure with their trailing hand just before impact and eleven inches past impact. Golfers lose potential power when they apply pressure as soon as they start their forward swing. Allow your trailing hand to simply be on the club for support and focus on letting your forward hand to almost feel as if it is pulling the club down along with gravity. You will then feel your trailing hand gain pressure and power as you approach the impact zone.
