Hi Guys!

I need some help....

I got an original Bronze Ping Anser Putter as a present.

It's in pretty good conditions besides the color.... since it is made of bronze, its color turned to be very dark and stained.

I followed some advices like to apply some vinegard and salt, but it worked a bit but in the overall it did not change the color too much....from dark to a copper (brownish) finish.

any advice to get it back to yellow bronze?

how about a full restoration for the small dings and dents? do you guys know if Ping offer restoration service like Scotty Cameron?

Thanks!!!!

I don't know if this will work to your satisfaction, but I used Brasso on both my Ping Anser and my Ping Pal. Of course, it's not long before the finish starts changing color, back to dark and unshiny, again.

Thank You, Q.Q. Quillume!

So, what you are saying is that no matter how hard I try to polish.... sooner or later it is going to turn dark again?

In case you've never heard of Brasso

Is this good also for Bronze? or works best for Brass products?

Thank You, Q.Q. Quillume!

Oh, yes. Here's a blurb clipped from the Ping website

http://www.pinggolf.com/putters_classics.html "The material Karsten Solheim chose for his earliest models—Manganese Bronze—helped define the PING putter. Chosen for its feel and quality attributes, it tarnishes with age to create a distinctive look that symbolizes confidence and trust. These putters are offered with a durable 'baked' satin finish that is resistant to the scratches that occur with normal use."

Yes, I think that although it's named "Brasso", it works on other metals as well. It did clean up my Ping Pal & my Ping Anser. And, I'd forgotten I used to have a Ping 1A that I sold, and it cleaned it up too. I don't know how easy it would be to find (online??) info about Brasso that tells what, specifically, kinds of metals it's supposed to work on . . . good luck.

brass and bronze are both copper alloys. What works for one should work for the other.

Hi

yes brasso is very good but please don't sniff it as its very noxious!!!!!....also try dipping it in to a can of coke, that usually does the trick but what a waste of a drink

personally i don't see anything wrong with the tarnished colour of the Ping Anser

      How to Remove Verdigris From Black Burner 2.0 Irons....

      You might want to try a can of Bar Keepers Friend. Yes, it is abrasive, so just wet a sponge and dab it on. It has oxalic acid (no bleach like "Comet" kitchen cleanser), and it works wonders on stainless steel and other metals. Try it on a small area first to see what happens.

      Fair   My uneducated thought: the big miss is the penalty area. If you want to optimize score, missing into the bunker (likely 5) is better than missing right into the penalty (possible 6). With that, your strategy seems sound and if you hit a committed shot, you get a bunker 5% of the time, take your medicine and hopefully get a putt for par but accept bogey. You may find yourself in a penalty situation 2-3% of the time and accept the associated outcome. The vast majority of the time though you are giving yourself a good approach shot into the green.

      How Much do You Exercise?

      By Elmer ·

      I walk 30 mins a day on my lunch break. It is not very intense (since i dont want to get sweaty in my work clothes), so just a touch above leisurely. 3 days a week I walk on the treadmill for 60 mins. I alternate the incline from 4 to 10 for a couple minutes, once every ten minutes. I lift my kettlebells nearly everyday. I have a couple complex routines. I find just 15 minutes and my heart rates is elevated
