Iron Refurbishment

[shivas irons]

They look fantastic but surely all that hard work will be ruined once they start clattering in the bag and you play with them. Fantastic if you want to sell them and clearly they are a good make and model and so will command a decent resale value especially in this new condition but personally if I was keeping them to play with I'd be happy with my set to have a few battle scars. As long as it doesn't impact the shot in anyway I don't see the problem with the odd ding

Its just like starting again with a new set of irons as the finish is that good.It will be interesting to set what they make refurbished as I currenty have them for sale.

Hi, It took the guy three weeks but I was in no rush because they are not my current play set of irons so I didnt need them back quickly and he lives about 15 miles from me so there was no postage for me because I just collected them,you will have to contact him about delivery etc.
Hope this helps.

I am in Norfolk, so I can't imagine it being that far from me either! 3 weeks is the killer though!!

I phoned round last week looking for someone to do this and was told a few times that forged irons cannot be re chromed as the EU have banned the waste product that is produced when this is done. One guy told me that if someone were to do them for me it would just be "cutlery chrome" and not last.

These look fantastic and a great price.

I will be sending a PM along for some info and will have a chat with the guy.

Thanks for the post.

No point in having forged irons chromed as it will soon chip with bag clatter and cheap chroming is not worth the time, money or effort. Your better off having them polished and having the grooves sharpened. It may not be worth sharpening cast irons as the metal is too hard to make much difference but forged irons are much much softer and will sharpen nicely just be carefull you don't overdo it and make your grooves too deep(not that anyone is going to check at club level.) Polishing is easily done with a bench grinder and a couple of mops and soap off the interwebery. If your going to polish your own then be carefull you don't over heat the ferrel or you might soften the glue holding in the shaft but it's unlikely.
I would pop out and polish up one of mine but I can't get photos to upload onto the site.
