Refurbishing Forged Clubs

[TinCupTampa]

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???

[basesloaded190]

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
