As part of this relationship, I was given a tour of their factory located in Albany, Georgia. They had a custom option on the irons that allowed me to have absolutely nothing stamped on the blades except my initials...just a pure, satin back with the club number on the sole. Maybe such an option is available through the custom club department of the major manufacturers today.
But I wouldn't hold my breath!
Macgregor still offered such an option about 5 years ago, personal grind for around $1200. They had a lot of information on their website. Not sure what the status is today.

The reason you can't sustain the lag is because you are so eager to make the club move fast (a reaction to the intent of "hitting it far"). So on a full shot you throw it away too early, which doesn't happen for your short chip. (bts)
We'll open up attachments if you take down the link.
It will take a few days to set this up and it will only be available to folks that reach a reasonable post count. You fall well within that range.
I'm pretty booked until the weekend and will try to get the background work underway.
Post deleted as requested. BTW, I wasn't fishing for any special priviledges, I just don't know how to add pics like some of the other guys here. I'm pretty computer stupid.
I just wanted to show Metallion some great, classic blades without all of the pimped out logo crap found on todays irons.
Metallion, now that Bagger has the attachment feature set up, here are pics of two classic clean blade designs that pop up on eBay from time to time at very reasonable prices. Ben Hogan Directors (1980's version), and Tad Moore Tour Forged Blades (yup, the putter design guru). In these pics, the Hogan is always on the left. These are both 7 irons.

Every once in a while they show up on eBay and go for about $250-$300. Tad sells a new cavity back forged (kind of an Apex Plus/MP-30 looking club) for $1000.

For whatever it's worth at this late date, I have an unhit set of these Tad Moore irons listed on eBay. Just type in Tad Moore Tour Forged 4-PW if you want to see more pretty pictures of another set of these sticks.
...go to ebay and search "PowerBilt". I think you will find a set of 76-77 PB Scotch Blades. I have 'em...they are PURE!!Check out the pictures, and you'll see what I mean...
