I'm considering doing some plating on my old irons (I know the chemical processes involved), and obviously the best finishes would be if I took the head off the shafts.

My question might be daft, but I presume I can just reattach my iron heads to the same shafts, and I don't need to buy new ones?

If they are steel shafts than it's pretty easy. You will want to get new ferrules, however.

If they are graphite shafts it can be done, but you'll need to be a lot more careful. 

You will also need 2-part epoxy. They make some especially for golf clubs and if you are a beginner at club-building I'd suggest using that. 

There are tons of Youtube videos on the subject. IMO - The best ones are done by McGolf Custom Clubs.

    • It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…
    • I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
