+TourSpecGolfer Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 That wedge is classic! one of the best in it's day. vinegar, soft sand paper, steel wool & gun blue can bring it sorta near new looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supo Posted August 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 i dodnt know , as ive not done it , but does sand paper take a layer of protection off the club and make it open to rust easier? on this one i immediatly caked it in corrosion X just in case. this wedge is magnificent. my gamers in sydney with the bolds. tiny sole HEAVVVVVVy as hell DG tour issue x-100 shaft . schweeeeeeeeeeet wedge the yonex came up a treat this AM. , the extra night in the pooo really did the trick . im repainting them. i can not bel they are the same wedges.

+TourSpecGolfer Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 my flow has been vinegar soaking to remove rust, soft sand paper to soften any dings, gun blue, water, steel wool for the new black finish. Works like a charm! Your protos non conforming right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supo Posted August 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 yup., took it ot the range last night for a workout .god ilove this thing. problem is i use the 52* the least of all my clubs. its in that distance range where i dont hit too very much. ordinarily ill use a driver 6-7 iron on par 4s and driver 3 wood wedge on par 3s so the trusty 52 is basically an insurance wedge for whern i fkkk it up i just love practising with it tho. weird its my fav club but i hardly ever use it. what is "gun blue?"

Gun Blue is a chemical used to blue gun metal. Done right and you get a nice bluish color on the metal like on new guns. Unfortunately it was never intended for the impacts that a golf club goes through so I doubt it's worth the time and trouble to apply it as it does not last too long in use. I get that whitish gray color by dipping the club heads in a local rust converter. It lasts about 2 or three rounds of use, probably less if you need to wedge a lot of shots. I've come to prefer the brown patina that develops naturally as it's the lowest maintenance. I just clean the clubs with water and leave them in the bag waiting for the next golf day.

supo Posted August 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 ok thanks. i like the rusty wedge heads generally but iwanted to try somehting differnt this time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayDM Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 Depends on the wedge for me, if it just rusts and does I let it happen and the rust covers the whole head, sometimes I find it really cool, and like the look, but if it just happens and I start getting strange random rust spots on wedges I don't want to rust than its not cool.... I didn't know that totally getting rid of rust could be done so well, I'm going to give it a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supo Posted August 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 (edited) i left the yonex wdge heads semi treated. cud have gone much longer but i kinda liked the blackened rough look. the faces are clean as a babies bum. damn was going to sell these , but they look so good , and i ve got a cpl of spare shafts laying about. i might re shaft them.

+TourSpecGolfer Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 Give the gun blue a try, it is used by many crafters in Japan for golf clubs. We ship it by the case to Japan as a favor to manufactures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayDM Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 Gold's Factory does a "Gun Blue" finish, is this the same stuff Sasaya-san uses or does he do it a different way/with different materials? His raw gun blue wedges are gorgeous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
