These Hogan Apex persimmons are looking like they will sell for next to nothing on auction here in the UK. I have little no no experience working with persimmon myself, but keen to make a start (I have plenty of experience with irons and general club work, just not persimmon).
To me, the heads appear to be in overall fair condition, except that there are visible scuffs and bruises to the club faces. In one case (5 wood I think) it looks like there is actually a “chunk” missing. Can anyone that has some experience with persimmon give me their quick and dirty assessment please?
You could always bodge up the face with some clear epoxy mixed with saw dust. Would be tricky recutting the grooves though.
Might be ok to have a bit of fun messing around with, but can be a false economy buying clubs like this. Surely plenty of decent persimmons for sale for about £30 each?
