My current bag, and I'm loving it.

Only new addition coming: Just ordered a Scratch TD AR-1 PW to match-up with my other irons. Jeff M. is going to get it to exact specs. Can't wait.

So I'll have plenty of P-wedges to choose from

8620 47* SS raw bent to 49*
TD KLD modified 49*
TD AR-1 48.5*
All with matching Nippon 1150 shafts.

[JJensen]

let me know if you're up in the Virginia area this summer, maybe we could play at VGC... not the best, but it's a fun little course.

[size="3"]Just got another email from Scratch with an update on my new PW:
[/size]
Jeff has started working on your wedge; specs have been adjusted, some initial grinding steps. The shaft is on order and should be here
shortly......shouldn't take him too long once we get that in.

[size="3"]I am pretty pumped, and will post pics when I have it. For the sole stamping, it will match my other AR-1's, but instead of a "P" on the sole it will have a "10" for ten iron.

Here it is in its current state... Looks good so far...

A few new pics in original post.

New wedge is almost done. Can't wait!

Just gave my irons a dip in Caswell Black Ox to freshen the look... OIl still drying (little shiny in places) but where they've dried/soaked-up the oil the look fantastic IMO. What do you all think?

[ladahl]

My new 10 iron arrived today! 48.5* TD AR-1 w/ ZO

See more pics on page 1

The caswell is sweet! How many "coats" of it did you apply?

[ladahl]

Thanks. Just one dip for a minute or so and then oiled... As they were already black ox'ed....

I was given a wedge with that little mc logo on it by my coach, what does that mean?

[ladahl]

Hand-ground by Jeff McCoy.... It's a very good thing

And your "free" TD wedge retails for $300+.. Good score

Whoa, well I love it... I hit it a ton at the range since he gave it to me, and I think I'm going to get a 58 head to match but it won't be a Jeff McCoy haha..

[ladahl]

A few new pics in first post. New putter in for now.

Keep comments coming. Good or bad, I appreciate it.

New 63* wedge arrived today

[ladahl]

Just finished filling my Del Mar.

[Love2Slice]

This bag makes me want to order some TD SB1's....
Awesome.

[hoganhawk]

The guys at Scratch are great. If you're ordering a TD set or just a single wedge, they treat you right.

What first got me into it was this site.... This addictive site.... The more I read about their stuff (reviews on the clubs, craftsmanship & customer service) the more I wanted to try 'em.

I started off with a couple wedges, and it kind of took off from there. I guess I like the idea (and passion) the company puts into their product. I also really like how custom you can get something made. It's not just the standard LLL "specs". The only drawback is that there is some "trial and error" as you can't physically try the grind/club before purchase anywhere... It's taken a few wedges to dial in the right set-up for me.

Here's a pic I took today of the "pile" of Scratch wedges I've been getting the past 9 or so months... All thanks to WRX's addiction

[MBianchi]

this may sound real stupid but what finish did you get on those wedges, are they the tour dept? I'm curious because I want that raw finish

[Deerslayer]

One of my favorite setups on the site. Great stuff Blake

[Kadin 25]

Nice

Thanks man. I ordered all them direct from Scratch (the raw 8620's are not TD, they come raw and I did the finish at home: Plum Brown & Black Ox)

Thanks. And thanks for all the small, but important paintfill tips.

Sweet bag(s)! Even though you're a fan of bad hockey.

Ha. The only bad hockey would involve two hoops and a round ball with over-paid babies.

[M.C.H.]

Great setup. What kind of putting green is that in the pictures?

Thanks. I ended up ordering a Big Moss General last Winter. (6'X12')

If I had to do it over I would have ordered the smaller/cheaper Augusta (4'X12')

[ladahl]

Just had another 4-wood put together.
Same head, different shaft
Nike SQ2 17* w/ Oban Devotion 65 04

Not sure which one will be the gamer
