Golf Club Restoration (Cheap Rusty eBay wedge to Golf Bag!) DIY golf club refurb 

Some people prefer a rusted wedge because it allows for more spin on the ball, they even made a club back in the day that intentionally had a face that would rust quickly

I got into restoring clubs last year, its a good stress release. Get creative with the paint though, throw some color combinations in there and make it your own. I did a set of Ping Eye clubs (circa early 80's) that were my grandfathers and used Candy Red auto touch up and those things absolutely pop in the sunlight.

You'd save yourself a TON of hassel removing old grips if you buy a hooked blade knife. Straight edges dont quite grab the way they need to. The hook blade runs parallel to the shaft and cuts through the entire grip in one swipe. Just a thought! The rest of this was extremely helpful too! I'm doing some Club refurbishing for friends and family and this helped me a lot!

When I regrip clubs, I spray the inside of the grip and the tape on the shaft with WD40. It makes the grip slide on easily and the club is usable within 10 minutes. I can re-grip a driver (or any other club) at home, drive to the course and it's ready to use.

You can buy a tool that takes the grip off with mineral spirits so you can use them again. Clean the grips with Bleche White tire cleaner and it restores some tack.

Nice job 👍👍if you do anymore grips, invest in some of those hooked blades for your box cutter. Worth every penny! Great video😁😁

Once more for those who dont know: a rusty 60 degree wedge isnt "junk" or "trash". It plays fine.

Vinegar and salt work much better than just Vinegar at removing rust.

Got an old rusty Cleveland 56 degree for 1 dollar at the good will. Going to try to clean it up a bit as well.

Great vid mate. Cheap and effective way to clean up old wedges but I agree with @PkGam reg the rust....it makes no difference to the spin. It's really for looks and glare reduction. Keep the vids coming mate.

Great video

Well done 👍🏌️‍♀️⛳️

Spray a little WD-40 on the face before using the Re-grooving tool. Much easier to recut the grooves.

Had a big grin on my face when I saw those Ping i3’s in the bag at the end. Nice!

Great job, however, a have good success with Brillo pad as opposed to soapy water and brush.

I enjoyed that a lot nice work for your first video mate !!

Great video! I'd be keen to see a follow-up video :)

Spray with salted water the face and will rust overnight. Use an angle grinder for grinding that sole!

Loved this. Thanks for making it. Subscribed.

Oh, that's no cheap wedge. Well, I mean at least it wasn't when it came out. It's actually one of the top ones in it's time. It was designed to rust for glare prevention and "supposed" extra spin. Though tests have shown rust doesn't do much of anything. So the look is more of a personal preference. Also, sharpening the grooves likely made it non-conforming as grooves are made to the razor's edge of conformity to begin with. Other than that, this is a pretty good cleanup! :D

bravo 👏 👏 👏 👏

I'm still waiting for the next video hehe 🤪

Nice video

I don't know if this was mentioned or not, but there was a period when many wedges came unfinished and were designed to rust. The rust is actually only on the surface and helped spin. Cleveland was famous for the "raw" wedges many players, including on tour, prefer them.

nice work! you might want to add audio in your next video. its nice to hear the sounds of what youre doing instead of background music, i find it makes the video feel a bit of a higher quality. also you dont need to have everything sped up, its nice to see some bits in real time. awesome video though keep it up.

I got the same 60 and I prefer my rust

That was cool. Good job.

Awesome!!

Nice 1st try but should've gone all the way with the resurfacing of the blade still to many pot marks, and get the proper grip tape that 3/4 inch double sided tape will break down fast.

Safety pin for picking the paint could get a old bic pen and make a makeshift tool

good job,, i like your video

Thought you were gonna dip the club head in the coffee ngl

Get a hook blade for cutting the old grip off

Bow are youngoing to keep the club head from rusying again because unfortunately with all the cleaning, sanding and polishing you removed alot of the protective surface, just curious as I have a few clubs I would like to restore myself.

When regripping, use a vice with a catch tray, way easier, plus the solvent that you use inside the grip you can pour onto the tape, also I assume you got the grip from eBay? Chances are it's a fake

I notice that you didn’t paint in the bottom groove on the face. Is doing so considered a bad thing? Any tips if I wanted to do that?

Nice one mate top work. I need a 60 degree. Any chance you got a spare?

Should of left it rusty you get alot more grip on the ball

When are you gonna do more videos man??

Please can you clarify why you have ‘cleaned’ the club as it was designed to have a ‘rusty’ finish - the idea being the the spin is increased and you have more feel due to the lack of a chrome layer on the club?

Yo when u gonna make that next vid

Don’t polish the rust off the grooves you’ll get more spin

Do you soak the rusty clubs in just white vinegar or do you had baking soda or dish washing liquid in the white vinegar?

May I ask why you only used the dremel to buff at the end? Ideally, you could have used the dremel for the whole process, right? Only asking cause I have a dremel and would love to give this a shot with old junker clubs

What polish did you use for that shine?

Wait ! I thought rust help increase spin?!

What do you search on eBay to find these cheap gems. I was thinking of doing this myself and find a cheap rusty set that can be restored.

You need some background music😆

where did you get a new ferrel??

So do you do this for a living?

Its not cheap just because its rusty A lot of wedges are supposed to rust

Bruh that’s a raw wedge.........it’s meant to be rusty.........

Great video
