  • 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.
    If you need your parts restoring please contact us:

      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.

    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.

    • @ianmcguinness7477
      @ianmcguinness7477 4 года назад

      @@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
