If you media blast them with about a 70 grit on the groves with nice straight lines taped off all around the grooves it will give it a duller gray color like it its a new club
@@bradreef I'll have to watch a few other videos this was my first one of yours looking into doing mine had them 15 years need a nice sanding and polishing
It's a fine line. As long as you don't exceed the legal groove limits, then no. If you use a tool. Try to ensure it is the correct size. I measured mine.
You can definitely cut the grooves to deep and make the club illegal. That is why i really dont do much groove work. That is also why i use the smallest blade on the groove sharpener. I measured the width and it didnt risk making them too wide

Nowadays al almos every manufacturer adds some kinf of grinding face so by sanding them you'll remove it, so why dont let them rust the face just after sanding?
The micro milling adds some spin but minimal. Manufacturers (imo) add it because they cant do anything more with grooves. Grooves are there to remove debris and allow the ball to interact with a level face. I also believe that with a refinished face you can get all the spin you need. Obviously a fresh brand new wedge will spin a little more, however, a good ball matters more on short shots.

Amazing, no clamping, no gloves, but GREAT results!! I admire your process!!
Awesome! Exactly what I need to for a new old wedge I just picked up!!
That's an excellent result. Thanks for sharing.

Yep, i do that in most of my videos. I did this without since most dont have access to blasting.

Way too much time I just ran mine through the wood chipper
Is it just me or does the reconditioned face look more dinged up than the original?
Looking at buying some wedges but they looks pretty scratched. Are scratches just cosmetic?
Depends. I usually only worry about the face condition. Also, scratches in plated wedges won't look as good if removed.
@@bradreefto me the bottom club looks most rough but idk if I can buff it out etc
Also the scratches are on the face
What if it's chrome plated?
You basically will need to remove the plating, or it won't refinish well. I avoid chrome plating at all costs on wedges.
Did you just make this club illegal?
It's a fine line. As long as you don't exceed the legal groove limits, then no. If you use a tool. Try to ensure it is the correct size. I measured mine.
Great results!!! Just curious why you don't use a vice? Will have to try sanding the grooves!
i do at times. i didnt to show the angles and where i filmed
What grit of sandpaper did you use on your palm sander?
100- 120 then 220
Thanks for the vid, my question is , is that club still legal after that work. Thanks.

The way I see it is, when the PGA issues me a tour card, I'll worry about if my clubs are legit.

don't sand the face like that lol rookie mistake

You can also buy a media blaster from Harbor Freight and hit the grooved surface to create some texture.
Put-Put
What if it is chrome plated?
I have a video on refinishing a plated wedge. It is a different process for sure.
