Could this be done with an orbital sander you think rather than the squared finishing sander?
thanks man I now flip a lot of wedges i find on facebook market place because of your vids. I find some cheap Vokeys for 10-20$ each and re-sell them for 60$-80$ each once i'm done with your refinish process. (I paint and stamp them too) 🙂
Can you do a video on painting wedges after refurbishing them? I want jet black wedges that I can do myself every year
I love your job! is this a chrome or raw model? if it was chromed, after sanding and polishing, does it become raw? Thanks a lot!!
Do you notice or have you tested spin rates and performance when refinishing the face and grooves?
can you make my wedges illegal so i can have more spin
I appreciate all the work you put in redoing your clubs, but wouldn’t it be easier to just not let them get in that bad of a shape to begin with? After every round of golf I clean my clubs using diluted simple green in a spray bottle for woods & hybrids and a club clean golf ball/club cleaner washer using the same simple green solution. After a year of playing they still look great. I’m just saying.
If I want to sand and level the face but don't have a sand blaster… what would be good to "add texture" ? Or just use a rough grit sand paper?
what do you use to sand blast?
Looks great. Why didn’t you show the sand blasting process?
The front edge should be sharpened to a razor's edge. That way the club will cut through the grass and dirt without much resistance. LOL But you have to buy a leather cover to protect from cutting your hands.
Lots of good tips. Nicely done video. Wondering what blasting media you use? If aluminum oxide, what grit?
Does the grinder and sanding mess with the bounce of the wedge?
A deburring wheel is much better than a wire wheel. It’s blends the metal together and creates a “new” finish. Then with polishing, you basically have a new club.
Great videos! I have just bought old mizuno mx25 and I want to refinish the face (there are some rust and scratches). I have one question: on this movie I see that You only grind the front of the face with one snadpaper grid / manu grinder, you have also used bigger grid and polishing grooves after like rest od the face (but just dont show on the video) or for grooves You used only sandpaper about 100 and than blasting?
Do you ever put new paint in the indented writing on the back?
Thank you for identifying the 54 degree as a sand wedge, it's suprisingly odd how many people today (mostly new golfers) refer to a 54 as a Gap wedge, along with a 52, 50, and even a 49… I feel like people think the word "gap wedge" sounds cool or something, but it's just plain annoying.
Looks like fun. I have four wedges in my bag (present day set with lower lofts, 44° PW) Callaway set new 10 years ago. They came without any wedges, so I spent big on Callaway 56° and 60° and thought I was done. Later on I realized this left me without the 48°and 52° and was upset with the expense. Found the $25.00 Powerbilt wedges at Dunhams Sports and I like them best. Get em. They are excellent.
