thanks
i like this article
yeah, i always thought the rust spin thing was a load of crap
because i never thought the rust would dig in or bite the ball enough to really affect the spin at all on a already grooved wedge
i also agree with the sentimental thing, i have a raw mizuno wedge
mine had a black ox finished
ive soaked it in pepsi (lol they had no coke at the store) and now its got a plain steel look that makes it seem like its a one of a kind wedge made a long time ago
i was checking around to see if there was a faster way to get the rust off, because i like the raw wedge, they reflect less light and look rugged, but i dont like all the rust because i think it looks a bit dirty

I will then get more spin on the ball right?

Did you read the article? No, you won't get more spin. You might even get less.

Hey man,
Thanks for the insight on "rusty wedges". I kinda like the rusted look myself. It gives the club (and the golfer) a little character. I'm not very fond of the sparkling clean clubs and the all white outfits some of the guys show up with. Besides, looking good does't make you a good golfer.
Anyways, my question is this. Can you make a wedge that has a black oxide finish rust? I have a Cleveland CG10 56* that I love and would like to "rust it up" a bit.
Keep up the great work !

Fairways and greens Brad

Thanks for the part on how to make the wedge rust faster, I'm tire of waiting.

Here's a question for ya...

Is it against the rules to rust a non-raw wedge? (I figure it's possible, since my true temper stainless steel shafts gained plenty of the stuff just by spending the night in the trunk of my car... )

Hi,

Will the rust on your wedges spread to your irons and cause them to rust as well? I want to get raw wedges but i DON'T want them to spread their rust ro my irons. Please email me back!!!

Callaway's X-Tour wedges are a mixture of old and new, especially the models with the PM grind and MD grooves.

Thanks for laying it out about the wedge rust issue.

Its nice to differentiate between marketing huh-bub and reality.

Keep up the good work.
