Hoyoymac Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Recently I was able to purchase a set of Corey Paul Functional Art wedge heads on EBay. The wedge heads are forged of 1025 steel in a raw brushed black finish with some minimal stamping and understated paint fill. They are 52, 56 and 60 degree heads. This is my first time building clubs by myself. Decided to pair the wedge heads with some BB&F ferrules, KBS Tour V wedge shafts and SuperStroke Traxion tour grips. Kept the color scheme of black, red, white and silver throughout. Very happy with the way they turned out and I’m excited to take them to the course tomorrow to try them out. aerospace_ray, cnosil and Hobert 3 Quote Cobra LTDx LS 9.0 TPT Power Range 18 LO Cobra LTDx 3W lofted to 16.5 TPT 17 HI Tour Edge E723 21 degree Diamana Thump f85 S Cobra LTDx 24 degree 5 hybrid TPT 17 LO Corey Paul - 5 & 6 CB with KBS $-Taper 120 Stiff Black Corey Paul 7 - PW Japan Forged Minimalist Blades KBS $-Taper 120 Stiff Chrome Corey Paul Functional Art 52, 56 & 60 all with BGT ZNE shafts Odyssey O Works Black #7 with BGT Stability Tour Shaft, SuperStroke Traxion 3.0 & 75g CounterCore Bridgestone Tour BRX or MaxFli Tour Tracked by Arccos, Bushnell V4, Vessel Lux XV 2.0 bag, Bag Boy quad XL cart with Alphard V2 wheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoyoymac Posted July 27, 2020 Author Share Posted July 27, 2020 Forgot to mention that I put Prosoft vibration dampening shaft inserts in them too. aerospace_ray 1 Quote Cobra LTDx LS 9.0 TPT Power Range 18 LO Cobra LTDx 3W lofted to 16.5 TPT 17 HI Tour Edge E723 21 degree Diamana Thump f85 S Cobra LTDx 24 degree 5 hybrid TPT 17 LO Corey Paul - 5 & 6 CB with KBS $-Taper 120 Stiff Black Corey Paul 7 - PW Japan Forged Minimalist Blades KBS $-Taper 120 Stiff Chrome Corey Paul Functional Art 52, 56 & 60 all with BGT ZNE shafts Odyssey O Works Black #7 with BGT Stability Tour Shaft, SuperStroke Traxion 3.0 & 75g CounterCore Bridgestone Tour BRX or MaxFli Tour Tracked by Arccos, Bushnell V4, Vessel Lux XV 2.0 bag, Bag Boy quad XL cart with Alphard V2 wheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoyoymac Posted July 29, 2020 Author Share Posted July 29, 2020 Put them in play yesterday. Stuck a sixty in tight and made birdie. The next hole with the same club chipped in for another birdie. 39 front, 38 back. No doubles, no three putts. Used the wedges a bunch yesterday since I missed a a lot of greens. Really like them, they will be staying in the bag.

Absolutely beautiful clubs. Love your style, I too use the same brand ferrules and always Prosoft inserts. Again, very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoyoymac Posted August 4, 2020 Author Share Posted August 4, 2020 Well, I guess my club building skills need some work. The 56 head came loose while playing a couple of days ago. Easy fix though, removed the epoxy, sanded everything again, cleaned everything up real well and then epoxied the head back on. Played Sunday and today and no worries. I think I must not have mixed the first batch of epoxy well enough, because it was kind of rubbery. This time it is very hard. These wedges have just been dynamite around the greens. Still figuring out the full swing yardages. I’ve had at least one chip-in per round so far and several close calls besides. Loving the performance and the looks. Will be bidding on some more to build for friends.

Theo10 Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Do you have to grind these heads or are they ready to play once assembled? GaDawg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoyoymac Posted October 21, 2021 Author Share Posted October 21, 2021 The heads do not to be ground. They are fully finished, just need to add a shaft, ferrule and grip of your choice and you are ready to go. The weight of the heads are right at about 300 grams. The lofts and lies have been consistent. Since experimenting with this first set I have now built probably ten sets of these. Some given to friends, some donated for golf tournament prizes and some sold to golfers in our Mens Golf Association. The heads are soft enough to bend easily if you want to change the loft or lie. Some of Corey Paul’s heads have additional hand grind applied to remove material on the leading edge and or provide additional toe and heel relief. There are some with additional face milling to provide additional spin, but I have found that not to be necessary as I’m getting lots of spin with premium urethane golf balls.
