Par4QC why are they so shiny if they are "unfinished"?

    I know him as a casual acquaintance. His name is Mike Mixson and he lives here in Chattanooga and has those funny commercials where he has an old fashioned golf "truckers" cap or a Tennessee cap on and keeps saying "we buy golf" over and over in front of his store MIKES GOLF SHOP. Good golfer and I've seen him hit his own creations at Wilcox Driving Range here in Chattanooga where I go. Here's his facebook page.....

    Here's one of his videos

      Nevermind, not same outfit, thought it might be same as Mike's golf outlet on eBay.

      Polished.

      Look closely at the eBay ad Toulon posted. Rust is very apparent.

      Wow....from one extreme to another! The first set is BEAUTIFUL.....these are butt UGLY!!!

        JeffTilley I don't even know what to say about those. I have countless conversations with other golfers saying, "Hey, there's a lot of technology that goes into golf heads. They're not just a piece of metal on the end of a stick, ya know!" Well, I guess the footing I'm on for that statement is a little shakier now that I've seen those photos.

          kelco9 At that price you'd think the hickory shafts would come installed at the very least. Edit to add:
          Oops, I didn't look close enough. Apparently you get to choose shafts and grips for them.

          The shape is similar to a number of blade irons of the past including some Srixon models, the old Hogan Personal model and the Mizuno MP14.

            bad9 probably the same tool and dies. Companies don’t want to create new tooling, it’s a major expense

            accufitgolf Do not confuse the Jeff's.
            Jeff Jackson, Jeff Sheets, and Jeff Summitt

            You are correct. Too many Jeffs. Last time chatting on Hireko Jeff Summitt was still there. I remember two Jeffs on the very old Dynacraft forum before I discovered FGI. I am not sure which Jeff was up in Ohio. I think he bought a driving range and got involved with Tour Golf.

              Jackson was at Dynacraft and likely your range guy.
              Sheets is responsible for the good Snake Eyes stuff, especially the irons.
              🙂

              Sheets designed an iron that looks similar for an outfit called p53. Apparently they are forging them in the US and have some system where you have to fill out a questionnaire and apply for the right to by them. I guess they’re super expensive and you have to be a golf purist to qualify.

                Really? Where?
                Hasn't been anything forged in the USA since around 2003 I think, IIRC.
