I was dreaming of this club for so long.. I wanted a 52 degree, Vokey Oil Can spin milled wedge.. Well as we know they don't make a 52 degree, So I thought about getting a 54 degree and having it made into a 52.

I went to my local pro shop and after doing some research online and talking to so many people, they all told me to take a 56 degree 10 bounce and bring it to a 53 degree, that between a 52 and 53 degree you won't notice any real difference and the bounce will go from a 10 to a 7, which would be really good.

So I have the head of the club sitting in a salt water cup right now, I hit it a couple times on the computer machine and it feels great, tomorrow I will see how it really performs...


Thoughts??



** EDIT, should I rust this up, or just let it rust by itself?

its up to you, rusted wedges supposedly produce more spin, but the oil can finish looks nice. Personally i would keep the nice looking oil can finish and let it rust on its own, but it's up to you.

Little Hint: Cup of Coca-Cola would work much better rusting it than salt water.

As nykfan4life has said you have to get the oil off before it will naturally or artificially. Coke or Vinegar (light acids) should work, and then the salt water acts as a catalyst for the rusting process.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 ·

      Live Updates from the range! Open the club face at address, and trust that you’re gonna be able to get the face in a good position at impact. I don’t have to feel like I have to keep the face open throughout the entire downswing. The swing feels much more free-flowing through impact. Difference in ball flight is that previously it would be a low to mid trajectory that starts straight and draw left, or slight pulls. New ball flight are high push draws.  It’s kind of stupid. I feel like it should slice off the planet. I look up and it’s maybe a slight push. 🤣 Some distant wedge feels. More weight on front foot. Keep weight on front foot.  Pivot around left knee. Solid contact all the time.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 2:  I hit a bucket of balls this morning.  Not gonna lie, almost didn’t go since it was my first time going alone and it was a little intimidating.  I mostly hit with my driver (the last bit of balls was with my 7 iron).  The sun was in my face but I think the ones that had good contact with went the furthest yet (maybe 150 yards then a good roll?).  Once I switched to my 7, the first half of my balls were crap.  I’ve always hit my irons before my driver when practicing and done fine - does this make any difference or is it just because I’m so green?

      It's likely per "category" of clubs, so irons would be one category, wedges would be a category, driver a category, fairway woods/hybrid a category, etc. They aren't going to charge you $50 per iron for a fitting. Almost all iron fittings are done with like a 6 or 7 iron, fitters don't carry full sets of every iron. So yes, if you use a 7 iron for the fitting and let's say you get fit into the P790 with a certain shaft, 1 degree flat and .5" longer than normal you would just order the full set of P790s with that shaft/lie angle/length combination and you'll be perfectly fine.
