If I recall, the classic Ping heads were pretty light and used 110 gram or so shafts, so I'd go with a heavier shaft. I'd think a standard S300 would be a good shaft for them.
I had the ZZ Lite shafts in my Ping Eye 2's and JZ shafts in my ISI's. I liked the JZ shafts better. Smoother for me. The ZZ Lite shafts my short iron shots really ballooned.
I agree the classic Pings are still great playing clubs. I bought a set of ISI's last year as they were my favorite Ping design. I hit them great too. I just didn't care for the wedges, I couldn't open them up for flop shots. My eye didn't like mixing the ISI's irons with modern wedges, just didn't look right.
You and someone else here have asked this question. I played around with doing a wedge this was but the method I used did not work. But after reading your post I looked it up on the internet, under remove chrome from steel. There were several methods listed. This one is the least toxic, and probably the most work. The other suggested muriatic acid. Which will probably work better but then you have the waste to deal with plus the acid is nasty stuff. I used some drain cleaner one time that took the chrome off of the stopper in the sink, and it was muriatic acid based so i know that works, wheather you want it to or not. But here is what was listed. Once this is done then you have to sand and buff out all the little dings, and then refinish it. Let us know how it turns out.
1. Put on proper safety gear such as respirator, splash goggles and protective gloves. Pour either acetone, ammonia or bleach into the large metal bowl or pot. Only use one of these chemicals; do not mix them.
2. Submerge the object from which you wish to remove the chrome in the the chemical. Cover the container with aluminum foil to keep the fumes contained. Allow it to soak for at least two hours.
3. Remove object from the chemicals. Dip a toothbrush into the acetone, ammonia or bleach.
4. Brush the surface of the object vigorously with the toothbrush. Continue dipping and scrubbing with the toothbrush until the plating comes completely off.
