Rust on Vokeys

[AMcC]

Is this normal ?

I have two Vokey wedges less than a year old and both are showing signs of rust.

I think certain finishes are meant to, oil can if I remember correctly

If you have the Oil Can finish, it wears and leaves raw steel underneath that rusts as soon as you wave a bit of water vapour at it.
It's supposed to increase the aount of spin and reduce glare.

It only reduces glare.....

I have the same with the gun metal, but they all go the same a blast in the bunker soon removes it.

But if you are really bothered take them back to where you bought them they will send them to Titleist who will change them.

Mine rust as well and they are the satin finished ones. I just clean and dry them after a wet round, but if they are left to late the rust comes off with a bit of a rub.

Use a sponge scourer (dry) it'll come off without much fuss.If you use it wet it will polish the club though.

Thanks for the replies guys, doesn't sound too serious after all.

Clean them and rub a little gun oil on them. No rust for a while.

After i clean my wedges (MPT10), as they are prone for rusting i whipe them with a cloth sprayed lightly with a bit of wd40, not enough to effect performance, but enough to stop the rusting. i know the rust doesnt effect the functionality of the club, but i was a bit let down that my nice new wedges rusted after one round.
