Calming Titleist Restoration

[@GlenD1977]

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!

[@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.

[@nismo78]

I just bought a set of Callaway apex mb 2018. Im so tempting to buy everything here and try and learn how to restore my clubs. These videos are a work of art.

[@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!

[@ZaxDrumsGolfandMore]

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

[@BradMeehan]

It's really rewarding to see their transformations.

[@keatonhaskell6842]

Brad you are a wizard with the restoring. If you ever start a business doing this I’ll send you my set of old Wilson staff blades. I’m dying for this kind of restoring work. Love the videos!

[@jamie_dru]

This could be the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen

[@BradMeehan]

Thank you! I'd love it if you shared with your golf mates!

[@stephendaniel168]

I’ve never watched anything more enjoyable.

[@BradMeehan]

Thank you. My new favorite is the Tommy Armour I did recently. Such a relaxing transformation: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZSrmIGOm8h6aa8

Dude, you are so talented. I've just got my first grinder and a few attachments. I'm so looking forward to diving into this hobby. Also, thank you for posting your Amazon lists. It makes it much easier to find what I need. Please, please, please keep making these videos.

[@BradMeehan]

Thanks for the nice compliment. I'm glad you're giving it a try. I have more tutorials on the way!

Amazing work mate. Love watching your craftsmanship all the way from Australia.

[@BrownKiing97]

FINALLY! I have a set of Titleist 731PM and this is a great comparison as I’ve been wanted to diy polish them. Cheers mate.

[@dabwizardstark]

I have been eagerly waiting for this video. I started this hobby because of your videos and have been just wanting an in depth step by step

[@bubnale6268]

Always a pleasure watching your informative videos. Thanks

[@tpeberle]

Wow, above and beyond what I was expecting

[@BradMeehan]

Awesome. I'm glad you liked it. The Titleist Vokey video seems to be a popular one if you want to check out more restorations: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4a5qK2ugMyhnLc

My two passions! Golf and restoration. Also.. this dudes got a good sense of humour! I’d definitely have a “soft drink” with him 😂

[@BradMeehan]

Mine too! I'm glad you liked it. Soft drinks on me!

[@jeffreyprice2982]

Always amazing. Just beautiful.

[@raymomull2258]

One of my first sets. What a job.

[@BradMeehan]

Thank you. What's great about this channel is that I'm learning that every club has a story or connection with someone in some way. Thanks for watching. I'd love it if you shared it with a friend!

[@dougmurray7684]

Fantastic work.

[@BradMeehan]

Thank you. This one was a great transformation!

[@kurtier]

This was extremely satisfying to watch

[@BradMeehan]

That's the goal! Just chill out and relax and watch the transformation... It's total StonerVision

[@speerchucker64]

Out of this world good! Well done

Wow incredible

[@redhed9776]

I wish I could have found this hobby 50 yrs ago...

[@RedwoodGolfCo]

I have a full set of these exact clubs, planning on restoring them in the next couple weeks! Great video as always 👍

[@jamessinclair7428]

Did you end up restoring them? Did you purchase the same equipment Brad has to restore them? I also purchased this same set of vintage titlesist irons with the goal of restoring them. Without the specialized equipment and chemicals I’m wondering what the best result could potentially be.

[@Paul-cm7ie]

Outstanding. Thank you for sharing

[@matthewhurley3263]

Nice. A lot of love went into that restoration. Looks new and it was fun to watch the process. I often wonder what some of these older clubs sound like when hit perfectly.

[@skinnyguygolf]

Incredible transformation

[@stuartbarclay1134]

Price of art👍

[@donaldrippetoe5246]

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!

[@BradMeehan]

You're welcome. Thanks for watching. I made a facebook group to help you along with questions. We have about 1100 members now that contribute if you want to check it out: facebook.com/groups/diygolf/

[@donaldrippetoe5246]

Thank you! That is a big group! I look forward to learning from them!

[@G2niverse]

Another stunning transformation

[@glacier30006]

bravo!

[@VividJayz]

love your vids brad got me restoring clubs as well, i found a trick instead of hand sanding everything which sucks I've found a palm sander is 100 times faster and you can use it from 400 up to 1000 grit which gets rid of those close up waves i used to have that drove me nuts.

[@ひろ-m8n5j]

Excellent😊

[@quadrapayunir]

another gem saved

[@livingtribunal4110]

Quite unbelievable. 🤯👏

[@BradMeehan]

Love it. Thank you. Check out the tutorials if you want to give it a try. I also have a Facebook group for help.

[@livingtribunal4110]

@@BradMeehan I´ve already bought 2 sets of old 681/690 Titleist Forged irons in much better condition than ones shown in your video that I´m going to try and refurb. with whatever materials I´ve got (not much) (you´ve inadvertantly going to get me into _serious_ trouble with the wife as Im already looking at more on e-Bay! lolol)

[@CaliBillsTalk]

real clean! good work brother.

I restored a full set of these last year then sold then for £200. Great video as always Brad

"for the homies" pour earned a sub on top of all the great content. thank you

[@BradMeehan]

lol. Thanks for catching that!

[@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!

[@texasgreg]

Another great video/lesson. I appreciate the step-by-step breakdown. Thanks as always.

[@sobaze]

This is amazing! How do you restore the grooves? Do you have to widen them?

[@paulgoy9325]

You are amazing

[@BradMeehan]

Thanks! YOU are!

[@MrOffshore]

Any way to get a detailed list of your equipment? I’d love to take this on as a hobby. How durable is the nickel finish you’re putting on the club? Do you restore a rusty shaft or replace it? Your work is absolutely amazing!! Bringing a beautiful club like this back to like new, or even better is incredible and has to be very satisfying!!

[@JEECODE]

What a beaut

[@VibesLaCroix]

what did you use for rust removal?

[@BradMeehan]

Dilute acid bath.

[@fletch69gmc]

Awesome!

[@BradMeehan]

I'll have to look for alternatives for you. The activator prepares the remaining nickel to take on new nickel.

[@BradMeehan]

Awesome. You're welcome. I have a mizuno video from the past year that turned out cool. Take a look when you get a chance.

[@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

[@boypiercemusic]

Pure Zen is RIGHT!

[@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

[@MrA71717]

Only 8 more to go!

[@richardwittstock3199]

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!

[@BradMeehan]

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.

[@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.

[@claymould8700]

Beautifully soporific just what I needed before I went to bed - great to see these restorations 👍🏌️⛳️

[@BradMeehan]

Perfect comment right here. This is the vibe. Club gets restored, you get restored. 🧘‍♂️

[@glenrolls5679]

Love the videos. more or less, how much weight are you removing with the sanding/polishing and then adding with the plating? cheers

[@BradMeehan]

I got you: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f322pniGdtmaqskfeature=shared

[@ET_Drums]

OMG beautiful... imagine if you could find the rest of that set? I'm sure they'd be worth $$$...but i would be torn between selling them and putting them in my bag. But i would probably sell them after one round after realizing i'm not that good. LOL Great work!

[@BradMeehan]

Haha. There is a lot of satisfaction from doing this. I hope you give it a try.

Amazing job and I am gob smacked ! I really want to try that too but all that material and equipment , how much does it cost for all that ? I could see me if I had that equipment and do it as a hobby and make some money for club restoration . Please let me know the cost Ty
