Bruh! That’s reincarnation not restoration
What a great comment. I'm pinning this one to the top! Thanks, man.
Dude, you do incredible work.
Love it. Thanks for the nice comment!
@@BradMeehan honestly. that is better than new I'd say!
Made me say “WOW!” out loud in awe and amazement! Great job!
@@J.C.LeatherCo. thank you!
Not going to lie; I would have been happy with the restoration halfway thru the video haha. But you just kept going and going. Amazing work, though. Incredible work!
Thanks for the compliment!
Nice and shiny, easier to find after I toss it in the bush after a shank 👌🏼
One guy here said he got his club from his dad as a reward for climbing up a tree to get it down.
That’s not restoration, that’s art.
Your vision and ability to find the treasure and beauty buried beneath the rust, dirt and scratches continues to amazing me! Incredible work sir!
Thank you, my friend! I'm glad you liked it.
This is the exact wedge I still play with. I’ve tried replacing it a few times. But I always go back to it. Great video.
Bro, this was one of the most satisfying videos I’ve ever seen. Amazing work!!
Honestly, comments like this are the reason I keep making these. I really appreciate that you took the time to write this to me.
I’m in shock at how good it looks.
Unbelievable. What a talent. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the nice compliment. You guys keep me going. I'd love it if you shared one with your golf mates.
@@BradMeehan I did. Just told a bunch of them at golf league tonight about your channel and how relaxing it is to watch.
Thank you for showing the restoration process, the end result is stunning. So beautiful, it would be a shame to use.
Looks better than a brand new wedge! Great work brother.
I appreciate it!
What's old is new again. Love it!
Outstanding work! It looks better than new!
Thanks! The guy I bought it from said "want to sell it?" lol.
I have a 54 degree vokey wedge in terrible condition given to me by a well aged senior player, wish I could do what you do! Amazing work sir!

What grits are you referring to when you say medium and fine? Thank you for all your help.
@@christianwreiole5810 The Scotch Brite belts have those gradings.
@@BradMeehan thank you! Amazing work.
@BradMeehan do you do orders from people?
Beautiful work
You are an awesome artist - I never get tried at seeing your miracle transformations - Thank-You on letting us watch - Simply WOW! 👍From Donbcdn Canada
You are so welcome
Really nice work . Keep those videos coming . Awesome work.
Thanks, Manuel. Always appreciate your nice comments.
I got into club restoration as a hobby a couple years ago. I love turning rusty bangers into jewels but you are FAR more skilled then I am. But I still love doing it as a hobby.
I'd love to see some before and after pics if you'd like to share them with the channel?
These are the best wedges Vokey made. He needs to bring them back with the conforming grooves. The SM line finally got the look and feel bank with the 9 series(for the most part).
Video kept getting better and better
That was the best restoration Ive ever seen.
Thank you. I would love it if you shared the video with some friends.
That’s the beauty of well made items
This is my favorite restoration, incredible
Thank you!
WOW.......that was so soothing strangely enough, that is crazy !! I honestly sat here watching this in awe, what great work 👏 👍
Thank you! Mission accomplished! The goal of this channel is to show you tutorials on how to do this at home, then sit back, relax, and see the steps unfold in a relaxing, soothing way. 😀 There is plenty more to see, so i hope you stick around, friend.
@@BradMeehan most definitely mate, new subscriber from Sydney, Australia 🇦🇺
That's now a masterpiece!!
Thank you! This was one of my favorites!
That was so touching, I wanted to cry at the end.
Like, a full cry-face? I'd love a pic of that to add to the thumbnail.
@@BradMeehan LOL... not quite. I'm 60 years old and have been playing golf since I was 5 years old. Made it to the USGA Mid-Amateur when I was 35. I love seeing these old clubs brought back to life! I have a set of '71-'72 Wilson Fluid Feels. Like what Johnny Miller used in his US Open win. I'd love to see those restored. I'd display them in my office. Now that, would make me full face cry.
You are a talented dude. Nice work. I’m blown away
Thank you. Please share with friends!
Fantastic stuff my man! Being born in 1996, I’ve never seen a 258 look like that ever. What a gorgeous club… truthfully much better looking than the new SM series.
Thank you. That's what fun about the channel is we get to see what clubs look like when they were sitting on the shelf - something most of us weren't alive to see or didn't care about then.
Very impressive. Excellent work
DIY with this guys help maybe. Great work.
WOW man hats off to you!!! Brilliant
Thank you. I'm happy you found my channel. More to come!
That's some excellent work. I use to think i would want to restore some of this stuff, but that's not restoration, that is a true art form
Thank you. This is my art. I love reviving them. It's also pretty simple, so don't hesitate to try it. Happy to answer any questions.
All I can say is wow
It’s beautiful
Thanks, Jacob.
Breathtaking art!
Brilliant work. So shiny. Regards from South Africa
South Africa! Cool! Thanks for watching!
Beautiful! Better than new.
That was a pleasure to watch! Amazing work….. 👍
Thank you. I'd love it if you shared a video with your golf mates.
Just amazing - what a finish!
Very nice Brad. My all time favorite clubs are wedges and I love them when they are all rusted out, but if I was every going to hand one off and let someone get their own feel and history, this is a perfect starting point. Keep up the great work!
Thanks, Matt. I'm making a video soon on how to make a club raw (and rusty). They look so cool like that.
Somehow looks better than a factory Vokey. Great job!
Just so cool to watch... what a transformation
I appreciate it. New video tomorrow!
I've got to admit, I got a little excited down below when I watched this, and it wasn't even a Cleveland 588 wedge! Great job!
Just a little tingle
I have a Cleveland 48 degree wedge and love it.
Astonishing results, bravo!
Thank you for taking the time to comment. It's what keeps me going!
Phenomenal job!
Tolles Video, bin sprachlos.
This is actually wild. Amazing work
Thanks! It's really satisfying to take it through the transformation. I hope you give it a try!
A thing of beauty 😍
Amazing! Talent at its best!
Beautiful art.
Thank you so much 😀
beautiful. i cant wait to send some clubs of mine to you in the future.
Now that’s impressive
Awesome. Thanks for checking it out. Lots more here to watch when you need a zen moment.

Mad skills!
Artistry!
Really well done
Beautiful work
Thank you very much!
Thanks for showing this ..impressive.
You're welcome. Thanks for watching.
I have one of these clubs that has a little wear on it but it’s my favorite club in my bag. I will never get rid of it.
I had a fully rusted Vokey in the bag I called Trusty Rusty. I loved how that thing looked in the bag. It was like looking at an old sergeant standing in front of the new recruits leading them into battle.
Great job. You make it look easy. I know it isn't easy to get that great result.
Thank you! Cheers!
Beautiful!
Thank you!
wow ... awsome man! Good Job Brad
Thank you!
Nice work.
Awesome work
Incredible stuff
Very impressive!
I'm glad you found it. Thanks for watching and please share!
Hey! I am an electrochemist as both a hobbyist and part of my profession. I would highly recommend you look into chrome dip plating. With this, you refurbish the clubs to their original coating. Now there is a high level of procaution that is needed but it is within your level of skill no doubt.
I'm fascinated by this. Can you point me to a product I can research? I'd love to learn this. Is this the same as the Caswell triple chrome method, or something entirely different (and simplified)?
@@BradMeehan so there is two types of methods possible: chromium iii then chromium vi. Criii is for decorative applications and “safe” and Crvi is usually for more corrosion resistance and durability; much less safe. I would say the Caswell Triple Chrome method is a good way to apply decorative chrome for more of a wall decorative club/set. I’d give the club like 2 rounds before the chrome is removed. If you want to plate the clubs with a more durable coating, chromium vi electroplating would be your best bet. Do your research and look up chrome vi tanks and management of the tanks to keep them from falling out of working order and if you do try stuff without proper safety, understand there are risks.
Wow. Top work. 👍
Beautiful work !!
Thank you. Thanks for watching!
Wow awesome work brother!🙏🙏🙏
Wow amazing!
Looks better than a new one
This is crazy good work
Great job!
Thank you! Cheers!
Impressive work.
Thank you!
another good job, i did a set of SM6s a few months ago lovely clubs
Great job.
Super impressive can’t wait for future projects
Exceptional
This turned out way better than expected! Almost like brand new actually.
One gripe is that I think groove sharpeners make the grooves non-conforming. So I guess if you care about that you can skip the sharpening.
But other than that you took care of everything! Like, usually when a plated club that isn't supposed to rust gets like that, it's surfaces are pretty wore down and the rust can be pretty deep. But it all polished right off. Then after you re-plated it I imagine it'll be unrustable again for a very long play time.
is it non conforming if you return grooves to their previous sharpness? That seems silly
@@kramerdesignco Oh it's not the sharpness persay (Although there's a rule for that too: "5. Club Face". So it's possible to make them sharper than is conforming because they need to have a certain roundness ratio to the corner angle.), it's the width of grooves. They can only be 0.9mm wide because they channel debris away from the face and the wider they are, the more they channel. Golfwrx reported that Titleist Wedgeworks won't resharpen grooves because the margin is razor-thin between their conforming grooves to nonconforming. So a sharpener would likely remove too much material.
I bet your next thought is that wear and tear would widen the grooves and you would be right. But there's actually a rule for that: "4.1a(1)/1 - Wear Through Normal Use Does Not Change Conformity". I swear there's a rule for everything at this point, lol! But this at least works in the player's favor because you wouldn't need to get new clubs all the time which would be very costly and of course make the game less accessible. My guess besides that as to why they are still conforming is likely because they checked grooves under a variety of wear and debris then found that the grooves widening are losing their sharpness (because it's primarily surface wear) and thus are either equal in usefulness because the wideness compensates or is detrimental because there's less groove edge able to grip the ball. I never looked into the studies though. (I only have looked up rules on stuff out of curiosity, not necessarily the science behind them.)
They now make wedges that are meant to rust. You can use a sharpener on grooves. You just have to use a sharpener that won't make the grooves wider than what's legal. Grooves actually tend to get thinner and shallower as they wear.
@@MichaelShinosky But how would you know if you aren't accidentally making them wider? If you get a sharpener that is the exact width you need for instance, getting it at a slight angle would widen it.
@@PkGam With a machine tool sure. With a hand tool - not very likely.
As usual, phenomenal!
Great job
Cheers!
This is awesome
