I have a set of MP 57's that are showing some serious wear... is there any place out there that can restore these?

I have seen services that can restore regular irons... can forged clubs be restored? Thanks

Never played Pebble Creek... where is it? I am guessing north Tampa... the only time I go that far... I keep going... to World Woods, El Diablo and Brooksville... all great tracks.

PM for those kinds of things, guys. I know it's just the third post and it's your thread, but PM or start a new thread please.

On topic, I've always heard good things about http://www.theironfactory.com/ . Check them out. Can't vouch personally for them but again have heard lots of good things from others.

Black Oxide Services is very well known for putting finishes on irons and putters. Don't think it is just black oxide, they do all kinds of custom finish options. I was impressed with the irons I saw from them. Read about them a few months back on a putter forum. Very loyal following they have. Referred to as BOS, they are very well known. Check out their website and email them. Ask Sherry to email you the .pdf of pictures. That is about 60 pictures of the different finish options they offer for both putters and irons. I can't attach it here, file is too big, or I would do so. They will email you promptly though. Heard nothing but great things about them. Pretty affordable too!

small company i work for refurbishes any kind of iron. We would sand and buff the irons first. send them out to get stripped. finish polishing, then send them back to get re-chromed. Finish with a sandblast of the face and paint fill.

how does it affect the weight of the club head, i'm guessing a layer of the metal from the clubhead is removed, similar with the grooves???

no metal is removed. just the chrome. that part is stripped so we can polish and buff off all the nicks. Its then re-chromed. Sandblasting the faces doesn't do much to the actual groves. It will obviously clean them out entirely but it puts a finish back on the face similar to that of when the clubs were purchased. so long story short, you shouldn't notice much if any difference in club head weight.

basesloaded190,

Would your process work with very old irons? I have my wife's Dads irons from the 1930s and I want to restore at least one of the heads for her for sentimental reasons. If so, can you send me a PM with the contact information? They are definitely steel heads.

Thanks,

Scott

      Day 1 (19 Jan 26) - after a week lay-off due to travels, felt great to get in some drills in the backyard today.  Started with lead arm only short pitches focused on squared face and light divot post ball.  Haven’t done this in a while and it showed, with some skulls and slices.  Settled into easy flighted balls - wrapped up with standard two handed swings.  Good restart to the daily drills.

      That depends what you do within those two.  Are they your only options?   Check out Fit for Golf if you get a moment.  It's linked on the sidebar;  I did it for two years, stopped for a really bad reason, and I plan to get back to it soon.   Mike Carroll also has a great free podcast about a lot of topics in golf fitness.

      Day 19, 1/19.  Finished work in time to spend 25 minutes hitting balls (hit 15) indoors, off a mat, into the net.  Usual focus.

      Day 30 - 2026-01-19 Got 10 minutes in on the mat / net working on exagerrating movements I'm working on. And grip. Also worked with my friendly AI to summarize key negative tendencies I have so that I can build a personal checklist to follow. Will do more mirror work tonight.
