Worn out finish

[seppo]

Hi there!

I have a special question for all those clubmakers out there.

I have played my wedges and some of the shorter irons very often on the range. The range i go to is very sandy and after a few thousand balls the chrome finish is gone now.

Is there a way of rechroming the clubs? I suppose it could be possible with some sort of electrolysis but i am not sure if a normal clubmaker is offering such services.

Am i doomed to play with those dark "non-chromed" clubs?

I dont want to buy new irons, i love my MP60 to much.

Second question I have: my wedges are "Spinmilled". They have not only lost their chrome but also a lot of their tiny "spinmilled" grooves. I know they are only legal without those grooves but can i get those back?

Thx in advance

It can certainly be stripped and re-chromed. The real question is if it would be worth the cost or not. I can't imagine a one-off like this to cost less than $50. A decent machine shop could also lightly surface mill the face to put the spin mill grooves back on it (before re-plating ). Again, the cost might be prohibitive.

It may just be less expensive to get a new wedge of the same type or even look for one on ebay.

Another option to explore is to contact Titleist directly and see if they can do anything for you. They might surprise you, I'm sure they've had the same request a bunch of times.
