I have a fitter that I have been talking to about making me a custom set of miura's... I dont really need them... but they are too nice to pass up. Anyway... they only come in a raw finish.

Does anyone know where I can send them to have them finished (black pearl, copper, nickel, anything)? I hate having a wedge rust... especially ones like this.

I've seen some good work done by this company:

Thanks... it looks like they do Nickel and Copper plating as well... just what I was looking for.

You can also look online at GolfWorks and GolfSmith. They do refinishing and I've used them in the past with good results.

Rust is the best way to go. Chrome is blinding and I did not discover this flaw in the finish until after purchasing two chrome finished wedges last summer. I have a CG12 Mirror chrome and it can cause quite the bad headache when looked at wrong. I've since taken steel wool to dull the effect of the glare but black pearl and oil can are by far the best finishes

They offer some cool services and their black-fog treatment is awesome (albeit a little pricey).

I'm with you. I've never understood the idea of rusty wedges. I want my clubs to look nice and new even after years of use - however I always stop short of club head covers for my irons...

Looks to me like you swinging a club. Got any pictures of your refinish anywhere else?

    • I think I remember reading that Wilco Nienaber broke some record for having the fastest hands at around 27mph. His clubhead speed is probably of the order of 130mph or so, so that's roughly 5 times as fast. As Erik said, the math gets very complicated - it's at least a double pendulum system, but also with the "fixed" point moving and all the forces and torques applying to the club and the hands and the rest of the player start to get very complicated. My coach works with a biomechanist and between them they've put out a few books on the physics of the swing and it's hella complicated, but fascinating.
    • Well, it was four years ago, but… yeah.
    • It's still moving, but it's not very fast (which "almost" might cover), and it begins slowing down around P5.5 to P6 in most good players, for a bunch of reasons. The math gets pretty complex pretty fast seeing as how we have two hands, the club is acting on them while we're acting on the club, etc.
    • I was talking to a buddy of mine and he said he stock a GPS tag in his golf bag. Seems like it might be a good idea. What do you all think? Have any of you put one in there?       
    • I am six and a half minutes into this video and honestly don't think I can handle any more of it. I do see some of my swing in his - sucks it inside and gets across the line at the top. He also looks like he comes OTT a little, but is then very in to out. That's probably my cluelessness about the swing showing up though. Did I hear him say he's 15* in to out? That's insane and not something I would think anyone would want to do. I'm surprised he put this out there if his goal is to sell his method to other people, you'd think he'd find someone good who uses it to model it, not himself.
