When your retired you look for things to keep yourself busy.
I found some metal polish in my garage today so I tried it on one of my irons. It made such a difference I polished all of them. It made the crome finish really shine. My son thinks I'm loosing it!

I guess some folks think cruddy chrome is good looking. Great idea to polish chrome that you want to last.

It ain't bragging if you can do it.

I polish my irons from time to time. They are stainless but a good polishing with Mothers metal polish makes them look nearly new. Great way to keep your irons nice looking. Helps keep the value up also. I also wax the painted surface on my driver and hybrids. I'm not anal about it but I do keep them looking nice.

A special blend of salt water and battery acid should put a nice shine on those babies.

Just use any old polish, I used cola before and it worked great.

Those stainless clubs won't really shine with polishing like the OP's forged mild carbon steel irons. Stainless has more of a satin finish, so look for a stainless specific polish.

    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?      
    • Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
