    Hi Has anyone custom stamped their wedges? I quite fancy getting my initials done on the wedges. I’ve seen some really nice custom stamped wedges but can’t find anywhere to do it. Is this something that can be done yourself and how? Or is it specialist job? Thanks

    I have stamped a few of my wedges and they've turned out decent, I have access to a stamp kit and bought some paint pens. It's not too hard if you have access to the right tools.

    Someone had posted about this before. Try and look it up if you can find it

    I had mine stamped when I purchased the wedges from golfsupport.

    They look great imo.

    I almost always have my wedges custom stamped with various items. Sometimes it is my username Chris92009 othertimes if I change the loft and bounce I will put the revised numbers such as 53 etc..

    I stamp my own, its not difficult, but I do recommend practicing on a couple of old wedges you don't care about just to get a feel for it. For my A-Z and number stamps, I use Pryor Goliath 3mm stamps (same ones Aaron Dill uses), I find the larger size shank makes it easier for me to give a solid strike. I also buy random design stamps from various online retailers that specialize in metal stamping. I also use a steel bench block as a stamping surface on a workbench. I also make ball markers as a hobby, so it was easier to justify spending the money on stamping equipment.

    If you're curious about how to go about stamping your own, Golficity did a video with Aaron Dill a while ago, it shows Aaron doing some stamping and discussing how he does it. www.youtube.com/watch

    Here is a photo of my current wedges, I messed up the 48 (white) one a bit so I stamped the same thing on the 56 (red).

    That's so cool you stamp your own wedges.

    I bet that's a little scary on an SM7 or SM8 though

    My wedges would of looked terrible if I did them myself plus all the gear would of cost as much as the custom stamping.

    I'm honestly looking forward to getting an SM8 because there is more room for stamping! Now that I've had a bit more practice it's not so intimidating striking a new club, I just take extra care to make sure I'm lined up properly.

    I do agree it's probably not worth buying stamping equipment for most people, especially the high quality stuff. I enjoy making stamped ball markers, occasionally jewelry, things like that so it's a good investment for me. As soon as I can source some decent copper divot tools I want to see what creative things I can stamp on those too.

    Here's the ones I stamped, I messed up on the 'E' on the SM7 and the 'W' on the SM6, but I'm happy with it and will probably stamp my others once I figure out what to put on them.

    I've always stamped my own. Many of the guys who have seen mine have had me stamp theirs over the years too.

    It's easy. You just need to make a clean strike on the head of the stamp with a 5 lbs hammer. It's best if you can get the stamp set up in perfect position and held in place mechanically (I use a special clamp arrangement I came up with), so you can focus solely on making a good strike. Trying to hold the stamp still by hand while at the same time swinging the sledge with your other hand is just asking for ooopses.
