I love that you are into the older gear. I have found so many interesting old clubs where I live in Florida. They are such a pleasure to play even with the “weaker” lofts. Pure golf :)
The “I” stands for “improved”. The IPT are from 1963. I’m super jealous of the shape of those ‘67 Bounce Soles. The muscle on muscle design is such a beautiful feature of the Hogan irons. Great great finds.
I found some Lynx clubs that were made in the 70's. Shafts and grips are in bad shape but the club heads look nice. Thinking of getting new grips and shafts to see how they play.
Ryan, you should find a set of punches that are designed to knock out those pins. There won’t be any drilling required. Put the shaft in a vice and use the punch to knock out the pin. When you want to re-attach the head first glue it and then put the hosel on a flat part of your vice and reinsert the pin, again using the punch. You will effectively create a rivet of the pin. The also sell replacement pins which are long enough to make a better rivet.
Hey ryan, I recently got a set of nice hogan persimmon head fairway woods, but the 3 wood has a bent shaft. How do you pull the shaft on a super old wood like that? The ferrule has a spring looking wrap that covers the end of the hozel and I am just genuinely stumped on removing it carefully.
I wish I had the experience working with re-shafting persimmon to offer advice but its not something I am very familiar with. My suggestion would be to reach out to Louisville Golf.
Ryan, I drilled the pin out of a set of Hogan Directors. The worst thing I ever did in my life although they turned out great. If you want to punish yourself I say go for it. It is so time-consuming. If you do decide to tackle it drill one side, heat the epoxy up with a torch, and use a wood chuck to twist it off. No need to drilling both sides, once you twist it off the rest of the pin will fall out. I used metal filler to fill the holes. IG @builtbybmason
Ryan, I have a set of Nike VR TW forged blades 2-PW and I clean and polish them after every use. They’re showing their age because whoever had them before me didn’t take care of them. Would it be worth it to see about getting them re-chromed? It could be just me but I like the shinny look of new irons.
The costs of rechroming costs more than the current value of the clubs so it's not worth it from a financial standpoint. But if you're doing it for sentimental reasons then go right ahead.
Sorry for the delay - I always thing of clubs as tools not jewels so I've never considered it for a personal set but if you really love the set and dont mind the cost then by all means.

Thanks for the tip. I'll find an old head to test on and give it a try.
Ryan, you need to go to Fore Golfers Only in St.Thomas. They have tons of 'old' stuff!
Fore Golfers Only is a regular haunt on mine!!! They have tons of awesome gear and are great people.

Couldn't you just heat up the shaft, to loosen epoxy, then punch shaft pin out with a ground down nail?
