“I guess that’s good mojo” – Wedge Stamping Caviar

Published

on

It’s once again time to pop open a tin of the finest beluga, GolfWRXers! But really, it’s less jelly-like substance, more richness of intrigue here. No salt-cured roe at Wedge Stamping Caviar, as we present to you some of the finest instances of hammer-and-stamp work spotted in the Beehive State at the Bank of Utah Championship.

Grab your mother-of-pearl spoon and dig in — with restraint, please. And be sure to check out the rest of our photos when you’re done.

Carson Lundell’s stylishly spaced inclusion of a popular phrase looks good on his Vokey SM10. 

Kihei Akina’s Ping S159 features a dancing configuration of his first name. Very nice!

Akina actually has excellent wedge stamping across the board. “Hana hou!” is, based on my Googling, the Hawaiian equivalent of “encore,” exclaimed at the end of a performance. Appropriate for the golfer born in Hawaii.

Last year’s champion keeps the “Butter Fingers” stamping going on his Ping Glide Forged Pro. 

McCarty explained the stamping to GolfWRX last year, saying: “I dropped my club on the ball, got a shot penalty in a Korn Ferry event in Sarasota this summer, so my caddie [Devrath Das] thought it’d be funny to put ‘Butter Fingers’ on it, so that’s where we’re at…we haven’t dropped it since, I guess that’s good mojo.”

Zac Blair’s WedgeWorks showcases a Z-Blair stamping we’ve seen from him in the past. Still a gem!

 

Houston native Matthew Riedel leaves no doubt about his NBA allegiances!

Like we said, Houston native…

This isn’t a rendition of The Traditional, well, it is, but it isn’t… Rather than being the two letters of a player’s initials, Yi Cao’s wedge features his two-letter first name.

Neal Shipley, AKA, the “Big Fridge’s,” custom stamping

Published

on

Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.

That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.

On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.

“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”

On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”

“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.

Check out Shipley’s full what’s in the bag and the rest of his wedge stampings here on “Inside the Ropes” from Colonial.
