Get me an investor and I'll train anybody to open one near by you. ;)

I'm in Fresno Ca. and don't have anyone with this kind of knowledge. I've been reading all of the posts about Miura, Scratch etc. I know this equipment is better than stock OEM gear. But, if I'm going to buy hi-end gear I need to be able to spend time with the guy who is going to prepair my gear.

I'm a low handicap player that rely on my wedges, those (Miura) look freakin' awesome! How much for a 56* and a 60*? I've really enjoyed the Rifle shafts, would they be a good choice for the Miura wedges?
[/quote]It's all depends on how difficult of a grind you need. It would be best If you can come in person and discuss everything to get the right grind and quotation.

That sounds great...where are you located in the Bay Area. I'm about 2 hours south of that area. I'm playing the Olympic Club in a few weeks, maybe I could come by during that visit? Do I need to set an appointment, do you have a retail location? Thanks, Greg

Appointment only!

Hi Joe,

I Hope Ryan hasn't bought all you're stuff? LOL

No need for thanks, it's the truth !!

Cold spell.... Tell me about it! Today it was already -3°C (that's about 26°F)
In the UK and Spain they even had some snow today...?
Oh well time to work on the swing right? (and of course buy some more stuff LOL)

Well, Ryan is Ryan by nature LMAO! :D

Anyway, we got to much rain this week and the day we palyed at Harding Park is the day the wet front were started to come. It made the course play soooooo much longer and harder by the minutes due to my old bones and muscles despite how many skins I won. :) Just a lucky one! Not easy to play with studs!!! ;)

Anyway, I'm gonna build a couple of this wedges for me and as a demo for customers to try.

Joe made up a set of these a month or so ago for me. 51, 56 and 61 degree. I've tried a BUNCH of wedges over the last couple of years and they were all GREAT. For the first few rounds/practice sessions. Then the honeymoon was over soon after. After talking with Joe about my game and what I wanted, he ground these bad boys up and sent them to me. I don't know what it is, but I have NEVER hit so many shots so close to the hole or in than I have with these. Don't know what it is but they just glide thru turf and sand. Just think of the shot you wanna hit and let it do the work.

If you want some really outstanding wedges and service to boot, I'd HIGHLY recommend Joe to fix you up. No pic's but they are real similar to the ones above.

BTW, Joe, when is my new set gonna be ready? Check's on the way!!  :D

Thanks for giving us a head up on how you are doing with the first set, hope you have more good shots with them for a long time to come.

The second set were ground and ready for the shafts. I'm just waiting for the shafts to come in.

Thanks again !

This particular customer asked me to match the leading edge shape with his iron on the picture and bounce style to fit his style of play and course condition.

Joe,

Which wedge would you recommend that grind most in the sand or the lob? What type of shot/swing will it fit?

I have a couple of extra V3s that I am retiring soon. It may be a good time to experiment.

Are you talking about which type of grind the most popular for sand and lob? IMO moderate M grind or I can call it "M&M" grind

IMO any grind can work for almost any swing, the key is putting the right amount of bounce angle for the right swing type and course condition and add grind for the heel, toe, trailing edge, center (P) or leading edge to meet your skill in manipulating it.

Most grind of tour issue club are not suitable for daily type course we played on, especially in tropical country where the grass are so lush and always moist due to the amount of water they put to counter the warm weather day in day out or pouring rain like mad on monsoon season.

If you are talking about V3 FOURTEEN wedge, I would not recommend that wedge to be grind...that wedge has a very light static weight already, thus is not enough room to grind.

Fourteen wedge is made out of Nickel Molybdenum, so the dust is quite toxic for your health.

I am sure my clubs are coming your way soon (as soon as I figure out my 100 per cent gamer set).

Thank you for the heads up. I still think the V3 are the best OTR wedges I can get for my game. I have tried a lot :)

Here is 56* with Heel, Toe, Trailing edge relieve grind and Sexy LIPS option for those of you looking for a wedge that can chip or pitch from a tight lie and yet pop the ball up on a fluffy sand and deep rough lie for a softer landing and a more aggressive swing. Leading edge on this is KILLED to make sure it won't dig to much on chip and pitch shots.

You know everything.  Plain and Simple.  We don't know how good we have it on this website with Joe here.  We really don't.

I am sure my clubs are coming your way soon (as soon as I figure out my 100 per cent gamer set).

Rob,
Thanks!

I'm sure everyone agree that you yourself is an outstanding member who are not only kind, but also knows how to be a productive member. Your type of member is part of why I agree to help building up this site from the get go

I will definitely be here for you when you are ready for my service.

Happy golfing !

Joe
