Hey guys and gals,

White scotch bright pad and a little oil has helped me many of times with light surface rust. Some guys like the rust, me I love clean clubs.

Naval Jelly. Apply with a brush... leave on 15 minutes... wash off...no rust.

Never heard of naval jelly...I'll have to look that up!

That's not bad at all!  A little surface rust is easily cleaned off if you need to...

Barkeepers friend and some 0000 steel wool will work wonders removing rust. I used it in a set of Wilson's I found at a thrift store. 20200601_191406-01.jpeg.3c42f498a52bc455a87235877db261fc.jpeg20200601_195028-01.jpeg.64c1d60f1ec3eb7fd5d043b9fc1077bf.jpeg

Hey guys,

I have just received my TP Forged TaylorMade irons. They are is decent enough nick, the only thing I noticed when I went to clean the "PW" up..

Rust on the shaft connection where it meets the head 😞

IMG_0178.jpeg.be0ac75d7a5ce06313b17cd23702551c.jpeg

 

Is this serious? I can't test them at the range until tomorrow, and I DO have 30 days to return, if faulty or just don't like, so no worry there..

Should I clean them up and use them (only looking to last me a couple of years..) or take them back and see what else I can get on offer?

 

Thanks guys!

Alex.

with the condition on the iron shaft, are these OK to use? Or could it be problematic?

So I have had this situation several times in past when purchasing used/older clubs.

Sometimes it's just "ferrule creep" and the ferrule can be pushed back down/re-epoxied and sometimes the actual shaft / club head is separating.

So I do my own repair work, don't know if you do? However, if you have 30 days to bring back, then IMO I would have the people that sold you the clubs fix or exchange/get $$ back. Good luck.

They look fine, easy to clean them up. Won't even be to much elbow greese. You can use a rust product or just use steel wool or scotch brite to clean them up.
