Abstract

See full text

The test procedure for determining groove conformance employs a replicating compound to obtain a self-supporting mass with a negative image of the grooves of a club face. A thin test specimen strip is sliced from the mass and then scanned to form an electronic trace of the profile of the ribs. A negative image of the profile of the ribs is then obtained as a replica of the profile of the grooves and the grooves measured to determine conformance to USGA Rules. A protective covering may be placed on the self-supporting mass to insure the integrity of the ribs during slicing.
