Anyone have any tips on how to reduce glare coming off my cromed irons? Can I take a fine steel wool or something to them? I don't want to hurt the finish so they rust, but on a sunny day I have a headache from looking at the shiny heads all day!

I would be interested in here any suggestions as well.

A few years back Cleveland came out with some irons using their gun metal finish, you may want to take a look at ebay for them.

That was the route I was thinking about going. Guess I will dig up the old dremel and get to work!

I agree. They will lose their shine over time. Chrome has never bothered me, but some people prefer the duller finishes.

A salt and water solution should be able to tarnish the chromium leaving it dull. However, this process might make green residue.On the other hand nickel should be under the chrome so for a pure nickel finish you must use NaOH/ lye in water with a 6V battery connected with cathode at one end of the water solution and anode at the other. Any plating company should be able to do this for you and put a new dull finish pretty easily.

      Day 203 3-8  Focus on getting wider in backswing and reconnecting arm in downswing. With wider backswing reconnecting arm wasn't happening as well. Made some good progress. Hit foam balls.

      Lets see, Kapalua, and any other course played on Maui, Hualalai, Koolina and the course where the LPGA now plays the Lotte, Poipu, St Andrews, and Ballyliffen. I think that's it, never chased it but sure do enjoy playing Kapalua, Koolina and Hualalai. Will

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Updated feels Backswing 1. Knees stay at the same depth 2. Shift right 3. Right now it's imagining the hand path going right and up by raising the right arm. I imagine the hands holding the club while it is pointed up and behind me at my right shoulder.  4. Torso (belly) and hips stay facing forward.  Downswing 1. Mostly just straightening in combination with arms down behind me. I know my knees are bent, but it doesn't feel like much. It doesn't feel explosive because I am not going from a deeper squat.  2. Hands to right pocket or right foot. It should feel like my go down as my shoulders stay up. Stay taller. I don't need to use the body to get the club down.
