How can I rust the face of my sand wedge? (DETAIL PLEASE!)?

I did this to mine on accident, and glad I did. My wedge was already roughened up from hitting out of the dirt and brush (that's usually where my drives end up). I was using my wedge in the yard one day and forget to bring it back in the house. Well, after a couple rain storms and the club getting wet then drying, then getting wet again and drying again a few times, it rusted up real nice. Next time I went golfing, I didn't clean off the rust and hit a 60 yard SW shot and spun the ball back hard for my first time ever. After repeated use, the club has developed a shiny (but still somewhat rusty) spot around the sweet spot, and I can stick the ball on the greens real nice.

I am a hacker with cheap hacker clubs, but you don't mind roughing up your wedge a little bit, take some hard swings in some gritty sand or dirt (or even take some emery cloth to it, though I'm not sure if that is legal), then leave the club out in the rain (or wet it yourself) and let it dry. Then repeat the process a few times. Protect your grip so that it doesn't get ruined.

when you cant hit the lob far enough, you must move to the sand wedge. If you have no room for roll you will need to use the lob so the ball doesnt roll fifty feet by the hole or off the green. I always use my 60(MY LW) if the shot is downhill all the way to the hole. If i need the ball to run though, i use the 56.(MY SW) I know i cant hit my 60* more than 80 yards consistently. So if i have an 90 yard shot, the 3/4 -7/8 56* is the way to go. I will always take the full swing with a club if the shot permits it, rather than a half swing or 3/4 swing. Its harder to tell the difference between 65-85% than it is to tell the difference between 85-110%. My money range with my 60* is 75 yards. If the ball is inside 75y i hit my 60* all the way to 30y. Then I pick the right club for the right shot. A pitch and run will be done with a lower lofted club. a flop with a high lofted club. My advice to you is to find the perfect club for your flat short game. Then modify the club based upon the shot at hand. Uphill, downhill, left to right, right to left, carry distanceXroll distance (End of the hazard to the pin), and speed of the green are the factors to watch. In all there are many times where a club has a distinct responsibility/purpose in a players bag. But the same truth is that no club has any single responsibility/purpose in the bag either. After Jon VandeVelde lost the british open after a triple bogey 8 on the last hole( score could be wrong). he played the hole again two years later with only his putter. He scored two strokes better and could have won the british open if he had done that on championship sunday. IN THE END PICK THE ONE YOU ARE MORE COMFORTABLE WITH FOR THE SHOT YOU ARE EXECUTING.

First, it has to be a club that will rust. Like a Cleveland "gunmetal" wedge. If it is a polished club, it more than likely will not rust quickly enough to suit your purposes. If it is an unfinished surface, soak a shop towel (or other small towel) in salt water. Make sure there is a good amount of salt in the water you soak the towel in. After soaking, take the towel out of the water, do not wring it out, and place it around the clubhead. let the towel dry around the clubhead overnight. You will see rust starting to form on the clubhead, repeat as desired.

The easiest way to rust out a wedge would be to soak it in Coca Cola. If you buy a couple of cans of cola put in a bucket with your wedge let it sit there for a couple of days and you have a rust wedge with a lot of backspin possibility's. I have done it to a couple of my Titleist Vokey wedges and they work great I soaked them for a week. I am a 3 handicap and I love my rust wedges.

it matters what your club is made of. if its stainless dont even try it, your wasting your time. for best results use sand paper to smooth the surface. then take the club and put it in a mixture of sea salt and water. leave it there for about two weeks. this will definitly form a layer of rust to create much needed spin for you
