Posted August 20, 200420 yr This wedge is my personal grind from ground up. I got a couple heads from Ari for him to see my personal grind work and I've post the pictures before, remember? This is a 54* @D5 w/ 35.5" DG wedge shaft and 63.5* lie. This wedge has a thinner top line grind and a more compact look to it and it has a 8* bounce w/ trailing edge cut and a little heel and toe relief to it. I've played it a couple rounds but couldn't knock my Mizuno out of my bag. I don't know why! :smile1: I've reconditioned this wedge close to a new condition w/ a gun metal finish on it. ( see pic ) So I was thinking to give you guy a chance to give me an offer on this wedge. This is one of a chance for you guys to own my totally personal hand grind wedge. Please send an offer to [email protected]. I will let you guys bid for 10 days starting today. Let me reminded you guys one thing, It's not the amount of money you are bidding on this but it's gonna be totally my personal thing for me who i'm gonna let it go. I hope you guys understand. So when you make an offer, I need you guys to write up a bit of yourself for me to use as a consideration. Thank you very much! Good luck! Joe Kwok :cool:
August 20, 200420 yr Author OK I'll go first........Trade for my Terry/Vokey............. :beer2: No ! You are the 11th. :laugh:
August 21, 200420 yr Author Keep that thing!! JK it's like your grind. The JK grind. :scratch1: No ! I don't play it, i might as well let other people enjoy it. :smile1: :love:
August 23, 200420 yr Author Come on guys! 13 offers and none of them are over $100. I don't expect to much out of this wedge. I will pick the new owner from somebody who are offering over $100. That is all I need! The groves are sharp and deep but within legal limit. THX! Joe ps: Do I need to say "TOUR" grind on it? :wink:
August 24, 200420 yr Joe, What mizuno wedge are you using? I'm more interested in that... haha :wink:
August 24, 200420 yr I play a "Joe" grind 56* TM RAC oil can wedge. If you are a true club HO, you need a custom Joe K grind wedge. When people notice the custom grind they think it is the coolest thing in my bag!!!!
August 24, 200420 yr Author 10 footer, LOL! Psych them up ha?!!!! :laugh: Jonny5, That one is a bit worn out 54* that i got for a while, however still you have to pry it out of my fingers and shoot before i shoot you. :laugh: Joe
August 24, 200420 yr joe, i'm relatively new to this forum and I have been thinking about switching my 56* and 60* to 54* and 58*. Are you the person to go see to get some customized wedges or was it someone else? thanks, jonathan p.s. i live in the LA area in Cali.
August 24, 200420 yr As far getting completely new wedges and custom grinding the raw heads from scratch then Ari from Scratch golf is the guy you want to talk to. He gets his 1018 soft carbon steel heads from Himeji in Japan so the quality is top notch. If you want Joe to grind your existing wedges or do some customized work then Joe's work is nothing short of stellar. Any finish, bead-blasting, custom grinding, I think Joe can do it all.
August 25, 200420 yr Author Jonny5, Hornyjuan pretty much 99% correct. ( I'm not sure what is the 1% :laugh: ) Just call or email me if you have any question, I can do pretty much almost as far as your wild imagination can go. :smile1: To all, I have to add that this club has been spined and treated w/ dowel. BTW, I'm really having fun reading all your email about your offer on this wedge. Honestly, i might have a problem chosing the right candidate to be the proud owner of this art piece of mine. :love: Don't worry! I'll make sure I'll be as fair as possible chosing the right one. Thanks guys! keep it coming! joe
August 29, 200420 yr Author Ok guys! Today is the last day you have a chance to own this wedge. Yes! I'll be honest w/ you that so far 1 of you guys looks good to get this wedge as addition on your bag as 1 big family. :smile1: I will give you other guys a chance till 6pm this evening west coast time. Good luck! Joe :cool:
August 30, 200420 yr Author Thank you all for participating. I've picked the winner, you all will found it out yourself later from his review on this wedge. Regards, Joe Kwok
August 31, 200420 yr Author I hate to do this but it happend. THe winner of this wedge have an accident that put him off from the game at least till next spring, Thank god nothing serious. So he have back up from his offer and i can find any of the offers fit what i want ( honestly not the price ). If by end of this week this wedge has no good offer for the right new owner, i will probably do a contest or something interesting for all of us. Thx! joe
August 31, 200420 yr nice wedge Joe... but I know my vokey 54 is soft as butter...can never let that one go. I would never use it.
August 31, 200420 yr How about as the ultimate 'thank you' for the JK flash banner as well as my never ending gratitude :cool: :laugh:
September 1, 200420 yr Author How about as the ultimate 'thank you' for the JK flash banner as well as my never ending gratitude :cool: :laugh: Then you put me in trouble and slaughter by all the members for not being fair and you'll put me to work that will never end and take a brake. :D And every one here in the bay area knows that when they want to have an even easier win againts me on the golf course is when i have too much work. :wink: J/K :smile1:
September 5, 200420 yr Author The wedge has been adopted! Thanks again every one participate on this saga. Sorry to disappoint some of you but fair is fair, I hope i will be able to pay back some of you on the next round. Thanks again! Joe
