So i played with a guy the other day and we went out and bought some cheap wedges and grinding down everything so it was completely bare and I loved how blank it was. A perfect canvas to put whatever stamping I wanted on a club. I don't have many tools at home but I was gifted a dremel4000 set that I've actually never used and I wanted to try my hand at it. 

 

I know it will strip weight from the club, and that's ok because I'll add tape as I need to when I'm finished. I just want a completely blank clubhead. 

 

Ive searched different forums and read the instructions for the dremel and I need a bit of help. I just want to know what attachment to use to Grind off the logos. I imagine the actual cutting wheel would be a bit much so I'm guessing the super heavy grit sanding bit for it but I don't want to screw it up horribly my first go around

It depends on how much patience you have. If you use one of the Dremel grinding stones, opt for a less aggressive one to start and take your time.  The Dremel will be hard to control if you are too aggressive. 

Once you remove the logo, you will have to smooth the area with finer sander bits. Keep in mind that you are removing the chrome coating and it will rust without protection.

As soon as you turn on the dremel, that ship will have sailed! ;-) 

Have fun, and show us some before, during, and after pics.   Sounds like it'll be interesting to follow.

Bench grinder is the only way to go for getting it all off. Dremel with take forever.

I realized this as I read more stuff this morning. I'll be returning the dremel if I can find the gift receipt for it and try to find a relatively affordable bench grinder. 

 

Turns out out I can find blanks online to which is cool. Gonna try my hand at it, the concept itself seems very easy, but I'm sure actually doing it will be somewhat tough. I'll update once I get wedge to Grind.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
