Hello, I am picking up a set of Ping ISI BeCu Irons this weekend 3-PW. I found them on Craigslist and I am paying $125 for the irons. They are dirty but not hacked up, grooves look new, but they are tarnished to hell. First question is, do you think the price is good. From what I have seen on completed sales on Ebay it looks like I am getting a steal. Not sure if Serial #s match but I will find out Saturday. Second question is I have read differing opinions on the best way to clean them. Everything from Coke, Vinegar & Salt, Ketchup, Tarn - X, Bartenders Friend, Brasso etc, I would like to remove the tarnish and get I nice polish to them. Any ideas are appreciated.

Thanks.

the best way to clean them is to play them . If you are looking for a set to show then brass-o works very well on them

Sorry Snofrog, but I could have a car that could get me from point a to point b yet look nasty and ugly, but with a little elbow grease could shine in the sunlight I would do it every day as opposed to driving a dirty nasty car.  I feel the same about my clubs.  These clubs I just bought looked like ASS when I picked them up. But a 20 minute soak in a vinegar/sea salt mixture and a quick scrub with a Scotch Brite pad and these things looked almost as if they were just off the Pro Shop floor. 45 minutes and about $8 is all took to transform these beauty's. To hell with all  you guys that think "Patina" has some kind of magic. That is just ridiculous.

I was gonna suggest Mother's Mag and Aluminum wheel polish, but what you did is a lot faster. Don't try the Mother's --you won't be able to stop. The clubs look great and you stole them by the way. I am weird in that I would clean them at first and then let some of the patina come back.

      So Does Anyone Know Who This Pat Simmons Is?

      By Haxo Angmark ·

      after some years experimenting around, I've settled on a mixed bag of mostly Pat Simmons vintage Tiger Sharks (the ones with the blue enamal on back of the clubheads): 3 thru 9 iron, + 3 wedges (PW, sand, chipper). Those super heavy clubheads really help me get my swing down and thru the ball. Also I carry an old Taylor 18-degree rescue club, 17-degree and 14 degree ImagineGolf metalwoods, and the famous Pat Simmons "alien" 1-iron. Finally a real brick-on-a-stick, the big-headed Bettinardi Ben Hogan model putter which is excellent for taking the break out of short putts and getting the ball hole high on long ones. Wait....is that 15 clubs? Oh well....

      Struggling With Fat Shots and Dont Know Why

      By Haxo Angmark ·

      this topic brought to mind one my favorite golf-spectator memories. Back when, living in Santa Barbara CA, parked in my yellow cab just behind the 10th tee  (c. 380 yard par 4) at SB Muni golf course while eating lunch. A twosome comes by, and first up is this fat little mexican guy who takes a kinda squirelly practice swing, then addresses the ball and bashes a long, high, perfectly straight drive up to w/in about 5 yards of the green. Other guy is dressed to the 9's, pulls out what looks like a $300 driver....and hits a maybe 150-yard pop fly. Slams clubhead to the ground and yells, "it's fat! It's fat! Everything is fat today!!"  And that's how I learned what a "fat" shot is.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By billchao ·

      It may not be surprising that in the previous 7,064 posts, this particular point has been discussed. To which I will counter: If we're talking about results, why only the majors? Unless you know something that I don't, neither of us are in any position to judge whether Woods or Nicklaus lived their overall life better, not that such a thing is even objectively measurable, nor is it relevant to the discussion.

      As we've had to tell other people, the topic is which is the better GOLFER, not human being.
