Doing this without a heat-treatment furnace which has precise temperature control could change the microstructure of the steel alloy. As a metallurgist, I recommend doing this with inexpensive clubs only. Forged club heads have a directional fibrous "grain" arrangement of lattices that relax when heat is applied to them. The amount of heat needed before microstructure transformtion varies widely with the alloying components. (Yes, steel is an alloy)... Please do this on cheap clubs only...I doubt if any high-end manufacturer would recommend this method of "Blueing".
