Also, when using an engraving bit take care what font you use, dont try using a filled or bold font (ie anything that you may be temped to machine with a pocked toolpath) with a pointed bit, stick to the simple fonts that you can easilly engrave with contour toolpaths. If you want the 'fancy' fonts then you must use a flat bottomed bit, which as already mentioned are easilly made with 'heavier' stoning, but be prepared to have to experiment in order to get it to look right.

By releasing the club to the left, you’re effectively cutting across the ball through impact. And as long as you keep the clubface open and don’t roll it shut, you should create cut spin that will work the ball from left to right.

Stand closer to the ball than you would on a normal pitch, and pull the handle of the club down and toward your lead knee.

I concur with most who have replied. An engraving tool single flute d-bit style tool with a sharp angle usually works best. INHO.

With the tight pins, fast and firm greens as well as a swirling wind, you’ll be seeing players at Bayhill subtly shaping their pitch shots. He’s how and why you need this skill. 🙌🏼 pic.twitter.com/XASzfPv6Xa

If you watched the Arnold Palmer Invitational over the weekend, you saw a tournament played under U.S. Open-like conditions. The winds were swirling, the rough was gnarly and the greens were firm and fast. It made for a prime viewing experience and misery for those who had to play through it.

Sometimes, reaching those tough-to-reach hole locations required shaping the ball — even on pitches inside 75 yards. It’s a high-level play, but one that is required when playing a brute of a course like Bay Hill. GOLF Top 100 Teacher Jonathan Yarwood shared a video over the weekend explaining the technique behind these shots so you can add it to your arsenal as well.

I would tend to favor the 2 flute because they offer better chip evacuation and being that you are machining wax that has a tendency to build up any way, go with 2.

FYI DIXI do some pretty good carbide 'D' bits, which I quite often use for plastic. personally I prefer a 60 degree bit.

It was that type of week in Orlando. And with the conditions so difficult, players were forced to use every shot in their bags — especially around the greens. Standard driving-range chips and pitches were largely ineffective.

“From this setup, I’ve got no choice but to lift the club up and away from me,” he says. “But then the key move from here is feeling like the left pocket keeps moving, the ribs keep moving, the belt buckle keeps moving — so the handle gets pulled sharply left. It almost feels like I’m pulling the handle into my pocket.”

I have found that there is often a problem with 'burring' at the bottom of the grove when engraving plastic with a pointed bit, the solution is to very slightly stone the tip blunt to make a flat bottomed tool, not enough so it shows, just enough to make sure the swarf if fully severed from the parent material.

Bay Hill was a battlefield in a war of attrition. Pars came with a sigh of relief and big numbers lurked with every mis-hit shot. Gary Woodland summed it up best when he came off the course following a bruising final-round 73.

With a slightly open setup, you now want to set up the clubface behind the ball. But instead of having the face square to the target, open it up just slightly.

I agree with James. I machine a lot of models out of wax. 4 fluters build up extremely fast. I do, however, strongly suggest buying an engraving tool. That would be the best way. Are you worried about the taper that the cutter would leave. Do not worry. Even if you go .05 deep in the part, it will look great. You can even get engravers with a 1 degree taper made.
