StrawberryShortCake Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 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.

Zeebedy Posted July 13, 2020 Author Share Posted July 13, 2020 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 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.

Zeebedy Posted July 13, 2020 Author Share Posted July 13, 2020 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. Quote Link to comment

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.
