The wet-collar tool
Wedges fail first because rye finds them first
A 56° lives in paste. The iron set can still look decent while the wedge has already turned into a butter knife. We mill the face and the walls as one job when the whole window is tired, not just the corners.
A pair is a family
Golfers love to mill the 56° to a razor and leave the 52° factory-dull. Then the spin window leaps. One shot checks, the next releases like a putt. We would rather map the trio and recut so the lands stair-step. If you only have budget for one head, we still mill it to the siblings you are keeping, not to a tour van photo.
Full wedge mill includes the facing pass, groove walls, Ra, and the soaked tray. Groove-edge restore is the lighter cousin when the window still has roughness. If you are unsure, pay for the map. Nia is cheaper than a wrong cut.
Turf tape is not the point
Bounce and grind live on the sole. This shop does not recut camber. If your wedge is digging because the sole is wrong, a face mill will not rescue the divot. We will say so. Plenty of Lane County wedges are dying on the face while the sole is still the right shape for the rye. Those are our jobs.
After March
Expect to come back in a year if you play wet collars twice a week. That is not a failure of the mill. That is Pacific weather doing what it does to corners. Keep the ticket. The second recut is faster when we know what the first one left.
Maybe you only need walls
