Awsome. Thank you

Did you just make this club illegal?

Try using hot water to save the ferrule. It’s too easy to overheat the ferrule with a torch. Hot water from a coffee pot usually works. Use the inside of a cut grip to grab the ferrule and spin it until it comes loose.

Is it just me or does the reconditioned face look more dinged up than the original?

Wow amazing work sr

Put a squirt of Dawn on the old grip, scrub it with wet/dry sandpaper under running hot/warm water. Rinse thoroughly....They feel brand new!

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

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

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

How did you know what thickness of copper you need to fill the insert? I'm interested in this as a summer project so I'm curious how you would kow that before pulling out the insert. Thank you in advance!

It burned the black rubbery tape part that hold the club and shaft together still works but any way i can avoid that part getting burned ?

Does the face finish lasts long? Won't it get rust quickly? I've seen videos with some kind of electric treatment (I thought it was needed for the refinish to last longer). Thanks!

I normally grind and polish the whole club face. Not too much at the grooves area, they still should be present 😅. After taping and sandblasting the grooves area the club face looks like new and the sides are still shiny.

I tried it on a vokey SM5 but I got a very blotchy Wedge. I guess this could come from the nickel or chrome plating. Maybe I haven't removed all of it. The blotchy parts turned blue very fast but lost the color later on. Maybe you have some hints for me.

Sheesh guy, if it were me I would be wearing a protective leather glove, at the least, to protect my fingers from an errant grind / sandpaper skin gouge or scrape. Second, I also try to stabilize the club head by inserting into a grip wedge inserted into a vise. Otherwise, another "dime-a-dozen" vid on golf club refinishing. Anyway, thanks for your time and work, still informative.

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.

very creative with the tools you have. I'll just go and buy the insert for a few bucks.

If you wanted to torch just a section of the club what do you recommend? I bought some aluminum foil high temp tape but it’s still not strong enough at Max 200 degrees

Hi can I check with u isit possible to tape up the areas that doesn't need to be nickel plated before soaking in for electroplating? Cause am thinking to restore some irons clubface /grooves area only rather than the whole club as its only the sweetspot rusted and chrome wear off .

and all of sudden, vinyl and stensil pop up without any explanation 'how' but 40 secs spent on vinegar and salt solution, hahahaha

Amazing, no clamping, no gloves, but GREAT results!! I admire your process!!

Tell me you’re scared of sparks without telling me you’re scared of sparks… nah I was scared before myself after a few spark showers you realize it won’t burn you

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

What if it's chrome plated?

What if it is chrome plated?

Looking at buying some wedges but they looks pretty scratched. Are scratches just cosmetic?

Brilliant job but i assume it was a raw wedge and not chrome. Shotblasting the face would also add to the aesthetics and improve performance 😊

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.

late to the party but words of advice.. invest in a portable bandsaw, and build yourself a mount for that belt sander for things like that. good way to get a finger sucked into it.

This is more of a video, on how not to use tools. You could’ve gotten a more consistent edge with a file.

Vinyl wrap?

Hey mate! No issues with rules of golf compliance doing something like this?

tried this, but wedge is just glowing orange and not changing colour. any ideas what im doing wrong?

Just wonder if the blasting damages the surface of the club, ie removing a protective layer?

sandblast recepie for the face please?

I haven't been having much success myself since I can't find copper sulfate anywhere in my country

How did the club perform after compared to before?

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.

How did you get the heat shrink to slide on the shaft? I'm having a hell of a time right now 🤦‍♂️

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.

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

Great job

Virtually, a great job. In theory however, wedges are specifically engineered with precise bounce, toe angle, drag, etc… in mind. The balance point and center of gravity is being altered by removing even millimeters which is evident based on this video. It’s just an overall aesthetically pleasing process, but performance wise, you are far better off buying a new wedge. Even a bargain bin wedge will perform better than this if it hasn’t been sanded down.

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?

Good tutorial. Thanks for taking the time to share that

Great video. New subscriber! I have a quick question. I have an old TM Daddy Long Legs Spider Putter, and I want to refinish it with plating. My questions, what is the best method to remove the old paint? After I remove the soft face insert (I think I will need to boil the putter, so I can reuse the face insert. Impossible to find replacements) and the plastic piece on the bottom, can I have it plated copper as it is just cast metal? What are your thoughts on plating with this type of metal??

I used a permanent vinyl stencil and a relatively low voltage (9v) but the vinyl started peeling off my wedges. I cleaned the wedge with isopropyl alcohol beforehand. I did use the transfer tape and tried to press the vinyl down but its still peeling. I'm also tapping with the cotton ball instead of rubbing. I'm trying to etch the lofts onto my new wedges soles so i can see which wedge I'm grabbing without having to look at the back of the club, such a pain to have to do that every time. Im cutting the stencils by hand so I'm wondering if there are small nicks in the vinyl edges that the water is getting under?

Hey, did you oil quench this? If not,could I? And also any idea what oil is best for quenching, synthetic/semi/?

hi, is there a way to get a red finish torching? I would love to see a nike red like they used to with their drivers..

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.
