Club Head Weight After Restoration

[@brianmcg321]

So I gotta tape four Cheetos to my clubs now?

[@BradMeehan]

Haha!!! Pinning this comment to the top!

[@thebloodyshambles]

You can get away with two if you spit on them first.

[@redhed9776]

you do incredible work with these old clubheads. The end product is beautiful.

[@BradMeehan]

Thank you!

[@lucandria9090]

Excellent video as always. A true connoisseur who answers our wonders.

[@jackhoughton8868]

Great video Brad. If you wanted to keep the finish look for the club like at 1:07, how would you do that?

[@BradMeehan]

You can finish it with a brushed metal look, then nickel plate over that. The markings will still be there. Same theory as when I sand blast the face and plate over it - it still looks matte.

[@jackhoughton8868]

@@BradMeehan Thank you, makes sense. So skip the polishing step and then nickel plate. I am really looking at starting this a ‘side hustle’ but just need the nudge to go out and try it!

[@fromthisdesk]

Apologies for resurrecting old thread but have you weighed what a double plating exercise - copper + nickel - would do to final club weight as well?

[@ikigai47]

I love this channel, so good

[@BradMeehan]

My man. Thank you for always taking the time to comment here.

Unreal bro.... Awesome video

[@BradMeehan]

Thanks, Jeff.

@@BradMeehan YW... What's the best way to sand the face without gouging it with belt sander?

[@thomasb132]

Love seeing this stuff, it’s got me tempted to try it myself. How does the strip and bright nickel finish compare to stripping and replating chrome?

[@BradMeehan]

Chrome is harder than nickel, but the bright chrome in its appearance is comparable to chrome. "Regular" nickel has a yellow-ish tint to it, but bright nickel looks shiny and, well, 'bright'.

[@thomasb132]

@@BradMeehan got it. When working with the deburring wheel and sanding after stripping, are you down to the bare metal or a nickel layer? Or does it really matter if you’re going to refinish anyway?

[@neonbobo1971]

Great video....been waiting for that one!!! Do you have any socials to follow you on?

[@BradMeehan]

I got rid of all social network stuff about 7 years ago. I'm in the digital biz for work and it's made me anti-social network.

[@lewiswest6801]

Great video

[@chrisdarp5030]

what solution you used to remove the stain?

[@BradMeehan]

It's muriatic acid. Sold in the paint department.

[@nickjohnson8246]

Realistically, most players won't notice or care and are just lucky to make solid contact a few times per round. But 5 grams isn't insignificant and probably needs to be corrected with tip weights since that's about 2.5 swing weight points. Pretty much an automatic hard step in flex if not accounted for. But, most golfers wouldn't notice or care especially when their clubs look that gorgeous.

[@BradMeehan]

Thanks, Nick. I call into the category of not being able to notice. I'm not good enough!

[@scatterbrain9490]

Wish i still had that album with the contents lol

[@BradMeehan]

I have the contents! Full sheet of rolling papers in there.

[@lickburner86esquivel91]

The cheetos had me rollin!! Good stuff

[@BradMeehan]

Did you catch the rolling papers on the Cheech and Chong album? lol.

[@abele8085]

I did now lol that’s great!

[@abele8085]

@@BradMeehanman I’m kinda stuck a little bit. Hoping you can help me with my restore I feel like I’m just about at the end to be ready to nickel plate just had some questions

It takes me to your comedy page but I don’t see how to Email you

[@divotdigger247]

So 4 Cheetos will make a 2 point or so difference on the swing weight scale! Tiger might be able to sense the 4 Cheetos, but not I!

[@stevehickson1812]

Who’s to say what they weighed brand new, the rust could have added weight from factory and your measurement could be closer to what they were new.

[@ikigai47]

excellent point!

[@BradMeehan]

Great point!

[@kessekg]

im gonna start using cheetos as a measurement of weigt.

[@thebloodyshambles]

That's not even a quarter of weed!!!

@@thebloodyshambles Right!?

[@thebloodyshambles]

@@BradMeehan I have an idea to make this a custom job, I thought of it first, you can do the Cheeto Chester club!
