- Here we restore the chrome finish on a set of old golf club irons. A set of Titleist 690mb golf irons.
You can follow them all the way through the refinishing. You see the whole process including stripping the old finish, polishing and chroming. When the chrome needs re-finishing it is not a DIY job you can do yourself.
When we have finished with them they are finished to a higher shine than when they were new. It is a full set of irons including the wedge.

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?
Approximately how much per head did that cost?

Any Titleist fan that watches this will be drooling 🤤
They did turn out nice.
I was.
Absolutely mate 👍🏼
Haha just got some new Titleist hence why I am watching it!
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.
DO NOT TRY THIS IN YOUR BASEMENT! My home is ruined
@@Nunya24567 lol
Those are beautiful blades. Absolute classics. You raised already beautiful clubs into jewels.
daaamn!!!. I've never seen a brand new clubs shinier than those. , absolute master craftsmanship!
They are a finer finish than new
Amazing! More people should have these beautiful vintage clubs restored!
That is not craftsmanship,it is pure wizardry.
For something to look better refinished than when it was new is just incredible.
I don't know whether your dad did this work also but if he did he passed an extremely rare and outright amazing talent on to you.
Thanks for posting as i don't think any such video exists on RUclips! 👏👏👏
Thanks. Yes it is a family business. My dad started polishing in 1948.
Had no idea how much work and craftsmanship is needed to refinish clubs, end result was amazing
You're right there isn't anything like this on RUclips. That was fascinating, thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it!
By far the finest and most comprehensive restoration of irons ive seen. The sandblasted faces blew my mind i always thought it was 2 diffrent metals...now i look closely and you sir are correct.
10:30 Stop right there! Golden clubheads! 🤩 That will be a rage on the golfcourses!
We also do them in actual gold
this is the most satisfying video I have ever watched in my life
Now that is craftsmanship!! Those clubs are beautiful.
Happy you like them
Wowww!!! They are museum pieces now. Amazing work!
Thank you very much! Much better to use them though.
They are gorgeous.
Wonderful restoration better than new.
Yes the finish is better than new. I am always surprised at the original quality of the finish considering how much they cost.
Top notch job, good to see this kind of workshop is still going strong!
Many thanks
absolutely beautiful work. I'd love to have this done to my backup set of titelist 690 cbs.
We can do that for you. Email me sales@marquerestore.co.uk
I’m very impressed. A lot of work, but them irons look so good. Better than new. Top marks from me 😎👍
Thanks 👍
Very impressive photography and editing. Well done.
Thanks. I have tried to improve the production values. I hope you can see the improvement from the early to late videos.
That was very satisfying to watch! Great work!!
Thank you very much!
Brilliant work my friend!
Thank you! Cheers!
I’d be scared to hit them again after that! Amazing work 👏👏👏
FordF if I’d done all of this, I’d never hit them!
Wow! an amazing job start to finish and so nice of Martin Roberts from Homes Under the Hammer to do the voice over.
Wow, impressive. Top notch work! 💯
Thank you! Cheers!
Man, that was so satisfying! Great work.
Thanks a ton!
The Titleist 690MBs are one of the sexiest blades i've ever seen (besides the Taylormade RAC smokes).
Lmfao
They do look good when restored
Brilliant! Cheers from America!
Interesting video. Great job explaining all the processes. The refinished irons look better than new store bought irons. Lovely job!
The finish is better than new
Brilliant. I had my mizuno blades rechromed 4 years ago, also £35 per head. Came back so shiny that I could barely believe it was the same clubs i sent away
Good stuff
Wonderful work... Very interesting!
Many thanks!
Great video
Thanks!
Good lord this is amazing. Nice work!
I've got 690's and if these guys are still in business I'm going to send them my clubs!
We are still in business!
What kind of cost is associated with restoring a set of heads like this please? Thanks
This is really interesting, these guys are so skilled and talented
Happy you liked it
Great video, very informative, very well presented, so good, I watched it again 👍👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it
An incredible piece of work there!
Wow 👏 fantastic guys what a great job you did of these. Love watching proper craftsmen bringing such a beautiful looking bladed iron back to life 👍
Absolutely fascinating watching this. Better than showroom. Now if I could only hit forged blades. But they would look great in my golf bag.
Your a Master my friend!! Exquisite Craftsmanship and skill!! Well done !! Peace brother
Simply amazing. Fantastic work
Thank you so much 😀
I never realized how much work it takes to plate objects in general.
Most folks are surprised by the amount of work needed
Those look super cool with the flat finish when you took them out of the rust-remover. Bronzed Titleist irons would be an interesting finish I think!
I will have to take a look at that.
Fantastic work
Many thanks
A properly interesting video. Well done. You guys are craftsmen. 👍🏻
Happy you enjoyed it. We will soon have another golf head video (being edited). Mizuno heads restored using the 4 layer 'Layers of Feel' process like originnal.
Wow. That was great. Forget about new clubs.
I’m just gonna get mine refinished.
As long as it makes financial sense.
Awesome video! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Nice finish.
Thank you! Cheers!
These are absolutely beautiful. What amazing work.
Thank you so much!
absolutely amazing. obviously requiring skills that are probably very hard earned. liked and subscribed.
You are correct. Takes a long time to learn these skills.
Some quality workmanship 👍
Very good set of blades...
That’s just incredible
Thanks for the comment.
How much does this proccess cost? Would love to know if its cost effective against a new set or would it only make sense for nostalgia??
These were £35 each ex VAT
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.
Absolutely stunning work, reminds me of my Hogan apex blades!
Thank you! Cheers!
Watched this video, just restored my Hogan apex blades.
Wow!what an amazing procedure with so many elements.very interesting.
Thank you! Cheers!
Awesome!! Incredible amount of detail and effort.
Glad you like it!
Awesome video. I do have 4 wedges that could do with that treatment... might have to give you guys a shout 👌🏽
Loved watching this and especially seeing the finished product. Thanks for making the video and sharing.
Our pleasure!
Really interesting video.
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video, thank you.
Glad you liked it!
In all seriousness, I CANNOT imagine anything more satisfying than restoring this set.. What is the ballpark price for this service? I presume it would take some hours?
What a beautiful job. Would love to get my mizuno set like these
Just let us know if you want it doing.
That takes time and talent. Beautiful work. Thanks for sharing this.
Thank you very much!
they look amazing
awesome job. wish I could have my set of Mizuno MP-14's refurbished
You can. Our contact details are in the description and at the end of the video
Does grinding-out the deeper gauges not lighten the weight of the clubhead - and then change the swing-weight when re-shafted/gripped?
A good club builder can dial in the swing weight. They can add in weights to the tip section I believe. Plus, I don’t think it would affect it too much.
@@serenityinsilence 🙏🤝
Can i ask how much that would cost to get done to a similar set? Rough ballpark figure? Incredible work!
Excellent! Question: why not chrome and then blast the hitting area?
You can do it either way
Must be a rewarding job to see how things turn out
Wow that is amazing can you kindly confirm cost ?
The heads in the video were £35 each +VAT
Gorgeous. Would love to find a restoration shop like this in the USA
Thank you very much!
Great work
Thanks
Epic!🤙🏽 Makes me want a set! Great job keeping us on the end of our seats waiting to see the finished product! I’m going to polish up my Ping Eye 2s now!
Completely different process, thankfully, since they're investment cast stainless steel heads that don't require any of those hazardous chemicals. I'd get a tumbler, the "mops" and compounds for those.
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.
Thanks for the comments.
really, so if I want to spice up some old wedges I can just hit them with the blaster?
@@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.
Fantastic work. How much would this service cost?
The irons in the video were £35 each + VAT
This is absolutely unbelievable. How much weight does the head lose from the process?
Absolutely amazing! How much do you charge for this service? And can you fix deeper dings from rocks?
I second this question!
Yes we can fix up deeper dings. Price does depend on condition but these were £35 each ex VAT
Incredible work. WOW!
Thank you for making this
Stunning. I have irons where the plating is gone. Would that process ruin the structure of them?
Not at all.
That’s really impressive.
you did a fantastic job
Wow, that’s amazing
Why no copper plating before the nickle? Thanks!
Amazing work!
Glad you think so!
How do reproduce the micro-grooves between the normal grooves on clubs like Titleist Vokey SM7 ?
This is a fantastic video. I wonder what the weight difference is between original heads and refurbished.
We dont know as we have never measured it.
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
Unfortunately there is no way to 'touch up'. The only way is to strip and start again from scratch.
Have you ever weighed a club head before and after? Just curious....
No we do not have the equipment.
Wow stunning.
Wow great job. What grit media do you use for the faces?
240
Outstanding work you did on those clubs!
Thanks a lot!
So your stripping solution stripped the chrome and the nickel at the same time?
yes
Amazing, how much would It cost me to do that in my irons?
At the moment £38 each ex VAT
great craftmanship. Is there much demand for this service and how much would a set of irons cost to restore ?
The ones in the video were £35 each ex VAT
Absolutely incredible. Some serious knowledge at play here
Thanks for the compliment.
This will change the weight of the head of clubs?
Don't know
Great job
Thanks
Amazing. How much does it cost to have a set of heads refinished. (?)
Depends on condition, but these were £35 ex VAT each
