One of the most historic changes in club design occurred at the turn-of-the-
century when grooves began appearing on the clubs of the day. Clubmakers
realized that players could impart more backspin to the ball with a grooved club. Increased backspin led to more distance and better control. Today, it is nearly impossible to buy a golf club that does not have grooves.
