Default anybody else cringe.....
When they look down at their shiny Pro V1, Nike One, TM Black etc. whilst holding a lob wedge? I just look down in horror knowing this full 60 degree shot is gonna give my ball a dang haircut! Hit one yesturday and saw the paint stick up from 70 yards as it checked and rolled back. Ugh, new grooves may not be so bad.

Never even thought about, I am only worried about the shot and care less whether the ball gets scuffed or not. That is why they sell them in 3/12 packs so you can have another one

The grooves on my wedges are so dull they hardly ever scuff the ball badly. I nearly never hit a full lob wedge either.

Not really. If cutting up the ball means I get a good shot so be it.

I must be a cheap bastard. In fact I know I am. I definitely cringe when I know I am about to scrape off the cover of a new ball. Just like I cringe when a ball hits cart path.

Nah - Let it fly - if it gets scuffed it goes into a bag for my mom!

On the other hand, I take great pride in the hair cuts I give. I smile like a clown when I hit a solid wedge. I get almost giddy watching the ball dance on the green. I just can't wait to see those little strands of cover sticking up. Remember Chicks dig scares even on golf balls. So, play them scared up balls

I only cringe when it bounces in the wrong direction. If I get a good cart path bounce - I'm thrilled. Any help I can get is appreciated.

I dont cringe because I dont worry about scuffing a golfball. Some days I lose a golfball long before scuffing it because an issue...

Never ever cringe because I just don't care. It's a golf ball & if it gets scuffed oh well, I will still play it.

I never worry about the ball getting damaged. With a 60* wedge there is already enough to worry about. That being the swing. When swinging a LW, you can't be afraid to swing it.

I cringe at a lot of the shots I take, never because I'm worried about scuffing the ball though.

My goal is to strike the ball so purely that I do scuff it.

I don't care if it gets scuffed. I like to spin a lob wedge. I like to see it bite and skip to a halt by the hole.

I had a set of MaxFli Revolution irons that I just loved. They had the sharpest grooves I've ever had on a set. Playing a soft ball, it made them look like tennis balls in 3 or 4 holes.

Oh don't get me wrong I'll still play the ball for a few holes. It just doesn't take long to fill the shag bag, gets expensive.
