Hello guys.
At the risk of sounding like an old fart, I am not that keen on the modern Mizuno wedges, I just think they are a little bulky and over styled. But hey thats just me ππ, I suppose technology moves on.
I have 4 sets of classic Muzzy wedges on racks in my mancave.
MP-T4... I bought the 56 satin finish new when it came out and added the 52 and 56 a couple of years ago in great condition, for 30 sovs each, bargainπ
I had the MPR Chrome 52 from about 2008 which I bought new with a voucher I won in an Open doubles comp.
I found a 56 couple of years ago. with slight leading edge dings and damage for 5 quid..no kidding.. on ebay couple of years back.
The grip was a bit hard and the shaft sticker had worn off and the head had a lot of little rust spots on the back.
Tip....
I coated the grip with washing up liquid then I taped some black plastic from a bin bag to cover it, then I left it out in the sun in the back garden all day. The heat drew all of the dirt and gunk out of the grip. Then I washed and scrubbed the grip and it came up soft, tacky and like new π
I polished the shaft with Autosol then put a new TT DG sticker on it... you can get a set of 9 on eBay for about 8 quid.
I polished the head with some foil and soap and got rid of the rust spots... Aluminium (ALUMINUM to our friends across the pond! ... no offence π€£π€£π₯°π₯°) foil really does work and shine up your chrome clubs, try it π
The dings on the leading edge I used wet and dry fine grit to just take the edge off.
I managed to find a 60 degree for 25 quid and it polished up great.
My mother was born during the war and we were very poor growing up. She came from the make do and mend generation and I inherited her frugality.
Young people now just buy something then throw it away after a couple of years and buy another one. Nobody fixes anything anymore!
I guess I am just getting old!

Couple more sets to come π
Thanks guys.
