It's The Real Thing

Blogcolawedge_2 Next time you're thinking about guzzling a carbonated beverage at the turn, you might want to use that refreshment to reinvigorate your wedge instead. That's right: A can of cola (or even club soda) will give your wedge a raw look by taking off the finish. It won't work on chrome or blackened finishes, but those designed to rust (Titleist Vokey Oil Can, Cleveland RTG and Mizuno Raw, for example) will be stripped right down to the pure carbon steel (see photo).

Just soak the clubhead in the soda (overnight works best), and the finish is gone. Doing this might void the warranty on the club, and it will probably rust more quickly. Plus, it's certain to be a little sticky from all the sugar, but the bath might clean out the grooves a little, too. At least that's what we found. Reduce glare, get cleaner grooves and avoid cavities. How good is that?
