Rusty wedges appear in many a tour pro’s bag. Sometimes, the rust is a result of a hard life spent splashing shots out of bunkers and pounding golf balls from the turf on ranges around the globe. … ‘Raw’ wedges (where there’s no plating or finish coating so rust can for on the head’s surface) are nothing new.

Is Rust good on wedges?

TaylorMade says, and it has been a commonly held theory for a while, that raw wedges that go rusty will spin more and feel softer over time. They should also reduce sun glare and preserve the geometry of the grooves for longer-lasting spin.

How long do Rusty wedges last?

Ger21: “Raw steel is softer than chrome plating, so raw wedges will scratch and scuff more than chrome, and potentially wear faster. But if you keep them clean, you should easily get 10 years or more out of them at 12 rounds/year. If you don’t want them to rust, clean and oil them after each round.”
