I would say they are not going to go away, i like the look of satin and black wedges and irons, but there is something about the rich and traditional look of a Forged Blade that can not be replaced. Wedges not so much, the new finishes are probably prefered, but I still love the shiny look of forged.

Another way to just scuff it up a little with a scotch brite pad or sand paper. Don't remove all the chrome if you don't want it to rust.

How coarse should the sandpaper be? I have previously attempted this with sandpaper and without advice but it just looked like poorly maintained chrome

Try a maroon 3m Scotch Brite pad. I do alot of satin brushed finishes on motorcycle chrome parts and they always seem to do the trick.
hckymeyer
For sandpaper the finer the better. If you don't like the look go over it again with a finer paper.

You don't want to sandblast anyway. The most abrasive media you'll want to use is glass beads, though walnut shells would be even better. You don't want anything that'll dull the grooves. Bit I'd use a red scotchbrite. If you want to make it easier, use the scotchbrite Dremel atachment.

Why does the shaft square off?
The shaft and clubface are able to square off because the butt-end of the club, at just the last millisecond, is going to be pulled sharply upward through impact. The fulcrum of the club movement prior to impact is not at the butt-end of the club. It’s actually a few inches below the right hand nearer to where the grip meets the shaft.
Which wrist is flattening?
The right wrist must re-hinge at the finish, which allows the back of the left wrist to flatten and puts the left hand more “on-the-forearm” to help support the weight of the shaft.
Where is the weight of the shaft supported?
Balances neatly into the plane formed by the left upper-arm and forearm where the weight of the shaft is supported along the left upper-arm. The portion of the shaft just beyond the grip should come to rest near the colic at the top of your head.
