Wow! They look brilliant.

 

[Curls]

Woah!!! Those are smart ????????

Wow! They look brilliant.

It’s a great refurb, they look as good but in a very different way.

I would recommend but I guess they are not to everyone’s taste, I am going to take time to get used to them for sure.

I went very understated, didn’t like the look of the very dark or very light grey, happy with the result. A part of me wanted something snazzy but in the end I toned down my original ideas and settled for just the small blue accent on the logo.

Very nice. Do they say how long the finish is guaranteed for?

 

[Sats]

They look decent, though haven't seen dark mizuno's since the jpx ez's

I'm not a fan of coloured irons but those look fab!

 

[Slab]

Very nice result

Neither am I but I didn’t like the look of matt in light grey and wanted the deep refurb that keeping the chrome look would sacrifice.

In the end it’s all a good compromise, you can’t have everything you want.

Not sure, they recommend headcovers so I guess bag clatter marks are inevitable...

 

[Canary_Yellow]

That's been done very nicely indeed!

I wouldn't want that finish on a new set of irons, but as you say, for refurbing a tired set and making older clubs look like new, it's bang on.

Is that a powder coating?

 

[Imurg]

I must say they do like good...
How long they'll stay looking good is another matter...hopefully long enough.

You know taking all the chrome off changes the swing weight

It’s called “Cerakote ceramic”, I don’t except it to last ages, I don’t have any headcovers so it will scratch up within a few rounds.

In the end golf clubs are meant to be used and the main reason I sent them off was to freshen them up as I intend to play them for many years. I wasn’t going to be using them as a display piece.

If they still look “good” next summer I will be happy.

They look incredible, a great way to freshen up irons without spending mega bucks on a new set

*Just managed to find pricing for irons too - £20 per forged club isn't bad at all for a sateen finish. I think i'll treat myself before the courses re open*

Looks great... I'm tempted to do something similar with my Nike vr Pro combo irons as they are definitely showing their age but I have no intention of spending £700+ on a modern set.

What's the rough cost for a set of irons? I see it's £120 for 3 wedges... If its less than £250 I'd definitely do it, along with new grips.

 

[ScienceBoy]

What's the rough cost for a set of irons?

150 for the first 5, then 50 for any additional (inc wedges I guess) and then £15 return postage. Cost about £15 to post them there too.

Thanks. I didn't realise the ceramic coating was for forged irons too. That's a very good price compared to a new set.

They look great!
