Time for some new wedges

[efnef]

I agree with neil, at least for me the CG series was too light and didn't have enough feedback. I found the Vokey's didn't have enough heel relief to allow for creativity, just my personal taste I suppose.

I love my Ping Tour wedges (54 and 58 ), worth considering them if you haven't tried them.

Which is why I have a bench grinder... to fix the heels, among other tasks. The Ping wedges look nice, harkening back to the old Eye 2 wedges. You can also still pick up the Trinity Golf Eye 2 remakes on eBay.

Any tips or good links for doing this? (other than keep your fingers and face away from the stones and practice with an old wedge)

Wear rawhide leather work gloves and safety glasses. You can get practice iron and wedge heads from golfsmith or buy thrashed old clubs from Goodwill/Salvation Army. Go to Tom Wishon's website for basics. It's really not that hard to do. I just practiced a little before I tried it on my good wedges. Or just go on ebay and find a nice 60* Trinity Golf wedge. They are identical to eye 2 lob wedges (except those were 58* originally, I think). You can get up and down out of a ball washer with one of those.

What kind of grinder did you buy? Can a retard (me) do it?

I just have a plain old 1/2 hp bench grinder from Lowes. Cost about $80.00. You can also get the various buffing/polishing wheels and compounds to pimp out your irons (um... refurbish, that is) at the end of the season.

If you can rub your tummy and scratch your head at the same time, you should be okay. Just wear the gloves (the metal gets hot fast) and as Norm Abrams says, "Always weah youah protective eyegeah..."
