Black finishes wear TOO fast IMO, so personally I would suggest satin. You are looking at anywhere from 40-60.00 per head to get the job done right, so anywhere from 300-500.00 to do the full set. Depending on the time of the year, turnaround time is anywhere from 2 weeks to a month. Hope this helps... Steve :smile2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toshman Posted October 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 hey i actually called the iron factory rather than wait any longer for an e-mail, they can do satin finishes and mentioned that black finishes wear really quickly. has anyone actually refinished a set in satin and find the experiment worthwhile?

I had them do 3 wedges for me in black, and the finish was gone in like 5 rounds. I have my 690.CB's getting refinished in satin with copper underlay as we speak. If you really love the irons and want to make them look like new and give them a softer feel, satin is the way to go. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toshman Posted October 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 what does a copper underlay do and how much extra would it cost per club? also when you get you 690's back can you post a review and whether you were happy with the job they did. thanks in advance steve.

Copper underlay is going to create a softer feel off the club face. 99% of the time the copper underlay in included in the price of the satin finish. I will make sure to post pix and a full review when they come back. Steve :smile2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
