I love golf and KZbin. I also occasionally suffer with insomnia. I find that if I can’t sleep, popping on a Pete Finch video sends me into a night of slumber no problem within 10 minutes. Pete hasn’t fixed my hook, but he’s fixed the insomnia. Thank Pete. You’re the best.

I would like to see a rusty wedge vs a chrome wedge after 3-6 months of use and see if it maintains the spin better with wear and tear.

[@mizunogolf1906]

Nice Pete. New grooves always win. We have noticed a difference between chrome plated and unplated when new. The chrome plate will ever so slightly round off the grooves. So new but unplated (Raw) for the most spin. Chrome plating will make the wedge more durable and resistant to rusting.

[@kentbrown3736]

I had all my irons which are soft forged stainless, professionally milled at a machine shop. They milled the faces perfectly flat by removing 0.05mm, or 1/20th of a mm from the face. Changed the weight of each club by less than 1 gram. And then they refilled the grooves the same amount to maintain regulation. They then sand blasted the striking face. This cost me $300 bucks. Worth it as I love my irons and don't want to pay $2K for new ones. WOW!. Such a different ce in confidence and the compliments I get from those who see them is nice also. Quality older irons with a bit of love and skill are so rewarding and remain very relevant in the modern game.

[@PenguinsFanatic87]

On a recent golficity podcast, they interviewed one of the wedge guys from the tour truck. He mentioned that the only reason most tour players use the raw finish is because they have a custom grind, and would end up stripping the chrome/black finish off in that process anyway, and would therefore look terrible.

[@spencerb311]

That’s a good point

[@Burschlag]

Yeah I've done my own testing, grinding the bounce of a set of old chrome plated wedges and it ends up looking pretty bad. Especially true if you over-heat the plating slightly, you end up bluing the chrome, and the transition from raw to chrome can turn a straw color.

I like it when the club-head has a shiny finish.. But just the club-face is 'raw' and able to rust.. I think TaylorMade had a few wedges that were like that..

Yes my God thank you finally someone comparing the same two wedges Apples to Apples good grief I've seen so many videos where someone is comparing a rusted 5-year-old Cleveland wedge to a brand new Vokey 😀 The grooves on that Cleveland were worn down years ago no amount of rust would help you've got to have a rusted brand new wedge versus a non-rusted brand New wedge same brand and make with the same golfer hitting the shots

[@chuckyz2]

I played a raw jaws the entire time I have played golf. Until they outlawed the Mac Daddy grooves. I used to clean them then aquired a taste for the raw patina. But you have to remove the orange rust and leave the rest. 0000 steel wool very lightly. The face stayed pretty clean in the impact area because I used it every day. When it got nicks and worn grooves, I would take a a knife sharpening diamond stone and clean it up. Then some Japanese wet stones that were planed perfectly flat with the diamond stone. Resurfacing the face would make the grooves very sharp again. Like new. The wet stones would put a grey "patina like" finish on it that looked pretty cool. I miss that club. Been stuck playing a dark Jaws MD5's since I retired it. Waiting to get the raw version in T grind. Backordered because of the scamdemic.

[@TomH001]

I always thought the premise of a rusty wedge that it kept the spinrates up when it started rusting , I never thought it would outperform a brand new wedge .. When I got my TM milled grinds they spun a lot , now a little bit less , and when they start rusting over they would simply not lose as much compared to a " regular " wedge , but I guess you had a different outlook on it

[@Justin_General]

My thoughts exactly. I would make more sense to compare these same wedges after both have been used similarly for months.

It’s my belief that the rusty wedge keeps the spin for longer than a wedge that is getting older. Meaning a new wedge is the best spinning option due to new grooves, however you’ll not have to renew your wedges as often when they rust as opposed to the wedges which aren’t designed to rust. They say you should renew a wedge every 2 years to keep the spin but a rusting wedge will be good for 4 years plus.

[@stompingpeak2043]

You know I have a question. Why don't they just use a stainless steel plate as the grooves? Then your clubs would never rust and never wear down. You could make it where it would weigh the same or less. It's like they have to make all clubs as cheap as possible and sell them for as high as possible. Like a 800 dollar driver has maybe 40 dollars of materials in it.

Ive got Cleaveland RTX 52 and 56 wedges that are raw. They rust... fast. If they get wet the rust is on next day (rain). The one thing I have noticed now that I have had them 3 years is that they seem worn quite a bit. I just bought a new RTX 60 full face and the grooves look to me to be noticeably not as pronounced or "edgy" as the new club. I bought a groove sharpener which I plan to apply to them just to get the grooves back on those two clubs. With the cost of these wedges being about $175 each the sharpener seems a reasonable and cheap "fix". I don't play professionally and don't care if someone wants to say "that's not legal on the course"... too bad, I will say the new 60 has significantly pronounced backspin, like scary levels. I have to land the ball past the pin in play lest it roll back past too far.

[@Zipening]

Hello Peter, first of all nice Video. My thoughts on this ... rusting starts most of the time on the edges and thin micro parts with a lot of surface to the air. So the rust de-sharpen this edges and micro texture ... and this again is in my thoughts responsible for the spin of the ball while interacting with the soft urethane cover. Thats why always a fresh wedge, no matter raw, satin or whatever outperforms a rusty wedge. And like on every wedge, these micro textures loose their sharpness over time, from rust, sand, dirt or brushing or whatever. And i think the rusty crystals (iron oxygen) are not that stable to create more spin like fresh cnc milled metal. :) Greetings and sorry for my bad english

[@mattj3351]

I’ve never got the theory behind rusty wedges giving you more spin. At the end of the day rust is the metal oxidising which ultimately means material will be being lost from the face resulting in less friction from the milling process and less sharpe grooves. It’s purely aesthetics

[@GregMcKeeman]

The problem I had with the brand new vs rusty comparison is that they do not portray what the rust actually does. Especially with the TM MG I’ve played my MG2 coming up on 2 years (75-100rounds per year) now, the first year I meticulously cleaned them to the point no rust had developed on the faces. (Tooth brush and dish soap after every round as I do) Brand new they had an almost sand paper feel, after use the face smoothed off, a LOT, and that’s where the spin was noticeably reduced. After thinking about the performance drop, I did a day of salt bathing the clubs, and really rusted them up. The spin was noticeably higher. Not brand new high, but much closer to new than with wear. I’m on my third cycle of purposeful rusting and am more than happy with the lasting performance of the raw face. The grooves are holding up with a little attention, and I’m sure I can get another season at least before I pick up some MG3’s Just my 2 cents.

[@PbD187]

I prefer raw, oil can and black wedges but only because of the reduced glare. I always gravitate toward the rusty ones because I like the way they look.

Pete, the real test should be between an old rusted wedge and one that is equally old but hasn't rusted. The rusted one will probably spin more as the rust helps compared to eroded grooves. Whatever the answer, nothing will spin better than a brand new wedge, which is why the best players in the world change their wedges every few rounds or 2-3 tournaments depending on their technique.

[@kourt2469]

In the past Typically the reason a raw wedge would spin more is because the grooves are initially cut on the raw wedge and are fairly sharp and then doing the chrome plating actually softens the edges of the grooves so they aren't as sharp. Now days manufacturers make their wedge grooves just slightly on the illegal side in their raw form so when they get chrome finished they end up softening enough to just barely become legal.

One problem I have with a rusted wedge.....when you hit a few during a round you will knock off the rust from the face as iron oxide is not tenacious like chromium oxide, meaning you may change the amount of spin you see during your round (also for the taylormade comment on roughness, you can manufacture to whatever roughness you want). Would a tour pro chance this change during a round where if they are off by a couple of feet it could mean not winning? That being said I have a raw wedge....simply was the cheapest thing i could find and i love it :D

[@marknakanishi7093]

I would be interested in a before and after test on rusty wedges but in the other direction. Test the rusty for spin, clean it, then test for spin again to see if there is any noticeable difference. Could the rust be affecting the shape, depth, etc. of the grooves?

What’s the quick explanation on why that is the case? I definitely assumed spinnier = more fade/draw/hook/slice.

[@kylerichardson7536]

@@EnjoiEmerica11 the amount a ball fades/draws is dependent on the spin axis, not on the amount of spin. When you hit a spinnier shot you're increasing the amount of backspin far more than the amount of sidespin, which then moves the spin axis closer to center, so it'll actually decrease the overall distance that a ball fades/draws.

[@benmain5642]

Love the Haywood s/o! Glad to see you still have them kickin' around. Should take a look at their new combo set! I think it will be a massive upgrade from last year's spoony blades. Might not be shiny enough for you tho lol

[@randelldanner8588]

I have a raw Mizuno. It just needs a new shaft for some reason. I love it and need to get it fixed. I also have a Cleveland 53° that's somewhat rusted

[@2DollarTakes]

To answer your question, I use rusted wedges and i use them strictly bc they looks cooler. Idk if it helps or hurts, but they’re siiiiccckkk.

[@sburns303]

Barr cola tastes horrendous? The north will remember Pete!

[@corysutton6847]

I like the dull, brushed metal look on my irons, but not the rust. It's a fine dust, between the ball and the face?

[@allanwallace6788]

How dare you dis Barrs Cola lol, im sitting drinking the lovely stuff just now 🙂

[@nicholaswinmar70]

Always wondered if the rust goes in the grooves therefore making them not as wide or sharp? Wouldn’t that make them spin less?

[@scottsmith8546]

If you really think about it...it's a great way for manufacturers to ensure that everyone gets new wedges every year or so...brilliant! Otherwise, I suggest you do not get rusting wedges or try to rust your non rusting wedges. Just keep the grooves clean and try to keep them looking new for as long as you can.

[@tylerhall7035]

I’m going with brushed copper on my next set!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@ryanokeefe12]

The wire brush removed the rust, not the cola... ps - some medium steel wool will remove the rust easier and reduce the risk of dulling the milling and edges of the grooves.

[@johnbrennan2636]

Chrome finish for me, how about a head to head video on soft stepping wedge shafts and potential swing changes required to see if it increases accuracy v standard?

[@justgettinby8260]

I love the raw finish but don’t like the rust. I prefer the patina like a used barbell. Throw them in some white vinegar and it works too.

[@ShinyChamelion]

The bronze colour variant of the T22 is the greatest looking wedge

[@willwatling]

Underrated.. have you seen the price of them 🤐

[@dantenapoli189]

Hi Peter! Excelent content as always. I personally use 2 Cobra Trusty Rusty wedges (a 54° and a 58°). Cheers from Argentina!

[@PoliTechBlog]

I like raw wedges becoming popular because I like using old 2nd hand forged irons and now they are also cool again (and CHEAP!)

If you want to remove the rust and stop it from coming back, use a product called Ospho. It's removes rust, stops the chemical reaction that creates rust and inhibits rust.

[@davidpiland8126]

Are use a Vokey 5610 wedge on full swing shots that I don’t have to manipulate. I started using it when I found it in a thrift shop for a dollar. They thought it was worth nothing because it was all rusty.

[@kurtncall]

What are your thoughts on the performance of the haywood wedges?

[@peterfinchgolf]

Yes decent. I think they need a little more bounce though

[@neilcampion5265]

I like the concept of a less reflective face (we get much more sun over here in the north east 😉) but surely if the face is oxidising it will just mean the groves are wearing quicker? My thinking is that when you rub your finger over something rusty your finger gets covered. Surely this would transfer to these wedges when they are getting hammered by balls and breaking up?

[@nicholasedwards7497]

What golf course is this?? I see that saguaro in the background, I know you're in Arizona ;)

[@Stikibits]

The rust looks gorgeous.

[@LTR1420]

Haven't even watched yet, but I'm willing to bet no difference at all. I simply like raw wedges for the look. I like National Custom's motto. Golf clubs are tools not "jewels".

[@mattkyle7997]

How do you rust your wedge just leave it outside??

[@raymondbabb1970]

"Raw spins more in the wet" Tests theory in the desert.

[@tyrantrex734]

I always use distilled white vinegar to get rust off clubs. Doesn't take as long and you don't have to use that sugary sticky cola.
