      I would like my MacGregor MT forged irons re-chromed. How do I contact you and what do you charge for set of 2, 3, 44, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, PW (9 clubs) please?

    • @RRSperry

      Approximately how much per head did that cost?

    I clicked on this in hopes that I’d be able to accomplish this myself.
    I was initially disappointed to see the effort involved, but to see the end result is remarkable. This is art. Absolutely beautiful work.

    The grooves themselves are in fact not as important as the sand blasting of the face which the golf ball will come into contact with. For more information see Tom Wishon's books and articles on the subject. He is the foremost expert on clubhead design in the world. So, good job, very interesting to watch.

      really, so if I want to spice up some old wedges I can just hit them with the blaster?

    • @ianmcguinness7477
      @ianmcguinness7477 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@tedwardx Hi. The grooves are important in order to create "bite" as the ball is compressed into the club face, but you need to have sufficient technical skill in order to do so. Some players can get spin from a wedge, many just can't. It's an angle of attack and hand pronation/supination thing. However, those areas of the club face directly in contact with the ball are also very important. This is why you see "mini-grooves" in the hitting areas on many modern designs, or why many players let their wedge heads rust. A quick sand blast can have very pleasant and surprising results. If you can redraw grooves a bit too that is an added bonus. (Be careful though to not make your wedges illegal) As I say, see Tom Wishon's teachings on the issue. All things clubmaking, he's your man.

    Very nice. I was wondering why these clubs I bought that looked pretty much new had a little bit of Browning on 7 iron but from I can tell now it is just the nickel. I wonder if there is a way to prevent from going thru the next layer. Or a quick chrome I can touch it up with. I feel newer clubs have such thin layers these days so people feel the grooves are bad when it must be plating has wore off

    • @ChromeandCarRestoration

      Unfortunately there is no way to 'touch up'. The only way is to strip and start again from scratch.

    If you plan to play refinished clubs in competition, it might be a good idea to get the grooves checked. If the dimensions have been altered by the refinish, some spotty Herbert might throw a rule book at you.

    Absolute craftsmanship! New subscriber....your team has an excellent process and meticulous attn to detail and safety. I am an weekend warrior golf club restorer...so no acids or nickel or chrome dipping lol. I also use varying sanding grits, grinding wheels and wire wheels. I spend a lot of time cleaning between steps. I use Nevr Dull wadding cleaner polish first, a Quick Car Detailer w cleaners and light wax, then Turtle Wax Ice spray wax, followed by Turtle Wax Hybrid Ceramic spray wax...allow 24hrs for ceramic coat to bond and cure, followed by a 2nd coat. I find this process, with an occasional water clean w soft brush and light wax coat...has kept my family and friends clubs rust, corrosion free along w ease of debris rinse off or wipe off. I use several diff microfiber cloths of diff colors and softness during wax and buff out steps.
    My son is concerned any grinding or wire wheeling nicks, gouges, or deep scratches removes too much material, affecting weight, feel, and performance of the clubs. My first month practicing ....I did botch a putter...even though it LOOKED GREAT, the putter head is very....susceptible to too much metal removal...I learned to use multiple sanding and grinder grits....to avoid heavier grit aggressive material removal.
    I must have watched this video several times.....if I ever have clubs I cannot restore myself...your technique is stellar. Guessing u r in UK, kinda wish u were in the States...I would use you, and play more golf in my retirement!

      I have a set of these 690MB's, knowing that it's about $40 USD Each, $320 total, has me completely rethinking ever buying new again. To me, the 690's are the prettiest clubs ever.
