... Well mroppositeofthin this SM8 is proving to be particularly difficult to strip. Very uneven looking and has a sparkle finish underneath so it looks like Vokey is using a different coating than in the past. SM7 was easy to turn raw. Maybe it will last longer for those that like the black look but it is a b!tch to get to a raw condition.

Might be the undercoat usually copper flash or the metal prep.
I had a Tad Moore putter project years ago that was trashed and when I stripped it and tried to torch it had same results as your wedge.

Those look sharp! I know you are having a hard time getting them how you would like, but I think they have a very interesting finish. I would game those.

Thanks for sharing!

Melonite somewhat similar except for the “blotching” on the hosel. But your correct it does look like a salt residue.

I found and awesome vintage Ping Pal 4 BeCu with the somewhat rare Ping graphite shaft under $50. I passed in it since it wasn’t worth the hassle to try and get it into my golf bag that was already backed for the trip home.

... The blotching came from an inconsistent submerging. Here it is after a second night in white vinegar. Look much more uniform but still has the sparkle finish that reminds me of a zinc wedge head. I am hoping once I put it in play the natural elements along with some rusting and removal will dull this finish.

Love your sarcasm. Great stuff. Yes. She approved and the fitter from True Spec reviewed my swing changes and helped suggest new shafts two try. Was able to try them and they felt so much better

As I mentioned I made a drastic swing change this offseason. The low balance point of my previous shafts was causing my driver and 3w to get stuck way behind me and give me a huge in to out swing leaving to huge blocks. My pro giving lessons originally suggested to moving to a higher balance point and lighter swing weights. That's when I contacted my fitter, had a phone conversation with him, sent me him new videos and numbers and then had a follow up conversation. 

So yes I still recommend True spec because they go above and beyond.
