I headed over to Golfsmith this morning to check out some new clubs. At first i had my mind set on the R7 460 and hit it but wasn't really that impressed. Then I hit the Mizuno Mx-500 and was hooked. I dont know why, Ive never owned a Mizuno club before, and I'm kind of partial to TM woods but the Mizuno just felt really solid (and 100$ cheaper). I also picked up some new Titleist wedges. Cant wait to go out to the course and try em' out. One question... I'm new to the Oil Can finish, should I be aware of any maintenance things?

The oil can finish is made to wear off the clubs. After that they will start to rust a little bit. If you hit enough balls the face should stay fairly clean. If you dont care for the rust look, a little steel wool should clean it up.

good call on the oil can wedges, I play three of them now... they have a nice feel and are very responsive but the rust does not produce any more spin... I just think they look great with the rust, like he said hit enough balls they keep clean...

if you want more rust (like I did) take a bucket full of warm water and place a decent amount of salt in the water, take the wedge and wrap a cloth around the head and leave the wedge over night... it will get some nice rust...

if to much rust is produced either steel wool it up or leave it soaked in Coke (Coca Cola , not yayo) ... the coke will eat away at all the rust (its kind of scary... we actually drink something that can eat at metal over time)

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By iacas · Posted

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…

      I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
