I've watched a few 'restoring' videos in my time, but this one is superb, what a fantastic job you've done on that beautiful club! Probably even better than when it rolled out of the factory.

[@BradMeehan]

That's a great compliment. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!

[@TheKeenej]

That is what I call entertainment. Great job Brad!

[@TheWinstonDouble]

This is so well done. I've done my own club restorations for function but this is above and beyond. I now wanna find an old blade set like this and bring them to life with new shafts. This is epic!

[@dbuckfanplays7991]

Great timing. Between family, work, cars breaking down, and this damn economy I needed a good calming moment.

[@BradMeehan]

I remember last year I was in a funk, and you checked in on me here. I appreciated that. I guess this hobby bonds us all a bit. Glad the video was a bit of peace in your day.

[@morningbone]

That was more zen-ful than 2 hours of yoga.

[@ZaxDrumsandGolf]

All the clubs look like new. I can imagine this very satisfying seeing the end results!!

It's really rewarding to see their transformations.

I really enjoy the content of your channel! Such an amazing transformation! I enjoy watching these clubs come roaring back to life! I have started down the path of learning more about the process mostly cleaning, face blasting, sanding/polishing and painting. But so many clubs really need plating. I’m still trying to better understand that process through your videos. Thank you for putting them together!

[@trevoradams7225]

Awesome work. Have you hit your clubs after restoration?

[@319vegeta5]

Thanks for all the great videos! I recently got some Ben Hogan irons from the 70's (I think). I gave them a vinegar bath and scrubbed the rust off pretty well but now I'm thinking the next step would be to polish out the scratches with 220 grade sandpaper? I don't have a machine to polish them, so I'll have to do it by hand. If you could offer me any advice on next steps, I would be very grateful. Thanks again for the great videos!

[@erickg3508]

I have this brand new in box, since 1983. maybe I should sell them

[@asee7117]

Do you ever Re-Shaft these club heads and play with them or is this just a keeper club head for your collection. Does the media blasting help the face become more playable if used again or just for looks more? Nice work very oddly satisfying and something I might want to do at my uncle's since he has some of these tools already, now just need to find the right clubs to do the work too

Hi Brad, your videos are amazing. Do you reshaft the heads onto the old shafts or do you typically put new shafts on? Also can you get the plastic ferrules that match the vintage ones? Thanks!

Thank you. I put the old shafts back on. You can find.vintsge ferrules on ebay or take a look at BB&F Co. They make really cool replacements with some vintage options.

[@ATMoore]

Hey Brad, I’ve dipped my toes in the club refurbishing waters. I started with some traditional belts but thought they may be too aggressive. I bought 2S and 3S scotch brite wheels and they don’t seem aggressive enough because of how long it’s taking. I understand it’s not a super fast process. How long would you say it took you to get the club from 1:40 to 1:50 in the video? Thanks!

[@mike__mcmillan]

Also curious

[@charlesbellemare3657]

Quick question : how many irons can one place in the nickel solution at the same time ?

[@Erink1]

If i wanted just the brushed steel look, is there a protectant i could put on it to keep it like that

[@BradMeehan]

If it's a forged club and there's bare steel, you'd be better trying the brush plating kit and covering with a layer of nickel to protect it. Might take 10 minutes. Using a spray like wd40 would stall it, but it's still going to corrode again. You could also re-brush finish them if it gets bad. If they're cast clubs, they won't rust, so you can just leave them brushed.

[@user-gq9jz4cn3w]

Hello, I'm one subscriber who watches your video. I'd like to try restoring it, so I'm leaving a few questions. 1. Does restoring and using iron head damage quickly? 2. How many iron can you restore at the same time? 3. Is there a recommended method between electroless plating and electroplating?

[@freedomson1]

Nice work!!! Did You strip the chrome off or just sand it?

[@BradMeehan]

The acid etch takes most of it, the sanding does the rest.

[@coloradoraptorguy9250]

Dang that’s a neat iron, I’ve never seen Titleist with a capital E in the script

[@TheMarkthetruth]

How long do you wait before taking the excess paint off? And what do you use when taking the paint off?

[@BradMeehan]

Immediately, I use acetone for the initial swipe. Then, when it's dry, I put a single dot of acetone on an eye glasses microfiber wipe, and it will remove all of the smudges with no effort.

[@strickstang85]

Is there a Dewalt hand drill attachment I can use instead of using the wheel for polish?

[@kelsonlockhart854]

love your content man, just wondering what you do to the face? Do you sand them down? with a belt sander, or hand sanding? Do you simply go straight to media blasting? Sorry if it seems like a dumb question but when I try to do this that's where I struggle. Thanks again for the content

[@BradMeehan]

The blaster hides some of the imperfections, but if you want it flawless, you have to hand sand it to get the appearance of the scratches out. If you're going to play them, then sand less/blast more. If you're going to make art, then sand away and the blasting will just be a dusting to show contrast between the shiny sides and the matte front. It takes a LOT of hand sanding to get to a point where you've damaged the club in any way. 220 grit works well.

[@kelsonlockhart854]

@@BradMeehan ohh makes sense. Thank you! What grit do you use?
