Vokey Wedge Care

Having just purchased a nice, rusty Vokey wedge yesterday for £20 to complete my wedge set, I'm not sure how much or how little I should do to restore it a bit.

1. The grip is old and should probably be replaced. Is it easy enough to do this yourself? I have no aptitude whatsoever for DIY so when I say easy it must be easy! How much would a pro charge (roughly) for doing this?

2. Do people sharpen up the grooves when buying 2nd hand wedges? If so, how?

3. Most importantly, should I be leaving it outside to rust, or in a bucket of water, or should I wash it, or should i just leave it alone?

Thanks for your help

regripping by your local pro shouldn't be a lot.

I just wash mine and clean the grooves then spray it with WD-40 if it is likely to be used in the rain.

Don't know about groove sharpening though

leave it out in the rain with a liberal sprinkling of salt on it...........

My pro used to charge £7 each to regrip a club, considering I can buy a Golf Pride grip for £2.50, £7 is a bit steep which is why I do it myself now, see other threads on here about re-gripping.

If its rusty dont use WD40.

£7 is a sound price really as the "Pro" is just that, a profesional, which is why he charges for his services to make a living.

Just give me one and I'll test it out for you then everyone will flock to buy one. Nobody will believe you because you sell them so will lie to put bread on your table. Do the right thing

(I can't put smilies in my message (angry face) which is seriously affecting the tone of my messages!!!!!!!!!!)

Never under estimate the power of a smilie!
