I think a lot depends on the component company and who they normally sell to. Some of them still have square grooves, they are still legal to play with, but are not USGA legal to make. The cost does not sound like much, but like drives you have to submit every loft or material change- black vrs chrome etc.

Many submit drivers and customers ask all the time if they are conforming. I had a customer ask if a set of component irons I sell are conforming. The design isn't unusual, proper grooves and such, but I wonder if most submit every new iron design every year (at $500 per set) to make sure grooves are conforming. Any clue? Thanks!
