Rechrome Miuras or Buy New?

[IrishGolfer]

Was in touch with Jim at the Iron Factory. To rechrome and regroove set will cost $34 pc. ie $272. I already have grips, ferules and shafts so I figure I'll get a "New" set of Miuras for less than $300. Or should I invest in newer technology with the cash?

What would you do?

What can you get for them on eBay? HOw old are they? How worn are they? And most importantly how much for the new set?

My thinking is this, if you invest $300 this year and in 2 years still need to buy new, well now your into it for the cost of the irons PLUS the cost of this years rechrome adventure.

My opinion is a really weak one...LOL

It depends on what YOU want...but I can point out a few things to consider before you make your decision....the first one is the Miuras, despite being one of the sweetest feeling and looking heads on the planet have very low resale value.

However if I wasn't already a Miura dealer and owned a set, I think I would not wanna part with them too soon...I think i would "sample" other clubs, see if anything stands head and shoulders better than the Miuras...and THEN, if nothing does, rechrome the "M's"

I think I am going to rechrome the 6 iron to see how it turns out. I practice with this one so it is the most worn out. Here's the before pics, I'll post up new pics of the after when I get it done.

get them re worked-- for practice time- use different clubs.. keep some old wedges, old set nd beat them at the range to work on a swing issue - timeing etc.. save the main set for weekend war time*

I couldn't do that. I have to practice with what I play with. Every club/set has it's own nuances in look and feel. Even two sets of the same clubs I think wouldn't feel exactly the same.

understand 100% deal with alot of college/ mini tour pro's. and when it is just time to work on tempo - form etc.. they use a back up set to hone in these spots- thus fresh grooves for real play. just fyi brother. play on.

Ok, finally I got this club back. Looks awesome and planning to get the rest of the set done and spook out some new shafts. Big shout out to Jim, outstanding job.
