Annual Wedge Refinish

In this video I am refinishing my sand wedge in preparation for the upcoming golf season. I show the basics of how I refinish this club to get a solid performance out of it.

anther tip: you can use a Groovex tool to sharpen the grooves back up, which the Groovex one specifically will get the grooves to the maximum allowed depth and width as it is specifically designed to do this do to the garud system that is on it.

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.

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.

Suggestion, where some heavy duty gloves when working wire wheels and clamp the club down when using angle grinders

First thing you did was sand the sole. My new SM9 went through the plating on the sole in two months of not heavy use. No way to sand any more.

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) :)

For buffing, try starting with a denim wheel and then final touch with a cotton wheel. I know u said its not a showroom club, u could just even use the denim wheel and call it good.

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?

[Criscross]

Looks great. Why didn’t you show the sand blasting process?

[张克里斯-ym]

Wondering how do you do on your impact face. Sand blast using what kind of Sand material and how much Pressure is used?

[Levihooper]

Can you do a video on painting wedges after refurbishing them? I want jet black wedges that I can do myself every year

[MAED_Media]

sandblast recepie for the face please?

[chazzman]

Question: do you refinish clubs for customers? I have a set of vokeys that I’d love to have refinished.

[craiglopatka]

Lots of good tips. Nicely done video. Wondering what blasting media you use? If aluminum oxide, what grit?

[MUTiger]

Do you ever put new paint in the indented writing on the back?

[noworriesman]

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?

[worldschaos]

Does the grinder and sanding mess with the bounce of the wedge?

[robertbrown]

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.

[kchilz]

Will I be arrested if I use a groove tool on my clubs?

[JonDraper]

Could this be done with an orbital sander you think rather than the squared finishing sander?
