I am going to be sending off my 3 Miura wedges to Tiger Nick Golf to have him refinish them in black nitride. I have seen a ton of pictures and read a lot of reviews that say he does a top notch job and the finish holds up nicely. So I am going to send off and have them blacked out, and maybe even do my irons afterwards if I like the look.

I worked on an old, very heavy ladies sand wedge head a while ago. Didn't want to grind the head or sole so decided to try porting it. First, it was not easy to clamp it up on a drill press at the right angle and was only able to drop the swingweight from D-9 to D-6 or so. It was the change I was looking for but it's not a lot of weight.

So the other day I hit a shot off into the good old wooded area and played my ball. Well I hit my 52 degree wedge and after hitting my shot I looked at my club and apparently I hit a rock that was under the dirt. Can I just beat the dent back in or is it best just to get another wedge and keep this one in my bag as my bad area beater?

jballard388

Mine is on the sole right in the middle. Really ticked me off because I love my 52 it is the most used club in my bag.

joekelly

I'd file it smooth as possible and forget about it. Frankly i don't think the ball will ever know.

jballard388

Yea its my most used club besides the putter. I was excluding that bad boy. I just have the fortunate ability of being able to smash the golf ball so since alot of my second shots on par 4s are 100-75 yardish I use my 52 a lot. And my local course's hole that is a 50 yard par 3 that one day I will hopefully figure out.

jballard388

Ok cool, i'll just take a file to it. I didn't figure it would affect it to much. Not to mention its not like I am a sniper with it to begin with.

jballard388

Yea I don't care about damage to balls I play cheap tommy armours and whatever I find in the woods. And my sand wedge has enough rust on it it gives the ball lock jaw.
