Just started a putter collection and bought my first SC.  I want to restore to original look and feel.  Have a pretty good understanding about getting the head done thru BOS but what about the original grip?

Here you go.

You can always go to Scotty Cameron's webpage and look up what the original grip was. It is clearly shown here:

https://www.scottycameron.com/archives/putters/1998/oil-can-classics/newport/

That grip is no longer sold by Scotty Cameron. 

You basically have 3 options.

  1. Send it back to Scotty Cameron to be restored and ask for them to put the original grip on it. 
  2. Hunt around for a similar grip, plenty out there. Or even look on ebay for the exact grip... maybe out there.
  3. Choose a grip you like. Could be a Scotty Cameron grip or could just be one you like.

I just bought 10 used Acushnet bullseye putters that need sresotoration on eBay.  I really enjoy working on bringing back the original finish. Brass is a very forgiving and easy metal to work with. Eventually I might start selling them but for now I enjoy the rewards of restoration. It is fun researching and reading the histories of these putters developers.

 I have developed my own "Putting Lab" in my office. I probably hit 100-200 putts daily. There's no question that has  improved my putting stroke and technique.

In terms of  the grips I have been changing the leather ones that have no company logos with a more modern rubber grip that I like. I am leaving the original Bullseye grips on  that are in decent shape. They definitely are not anything I would like to use. Too thin for me.

    • Day 82: mirror work again tonight. Working on the same shoulder down and roll and twist stuff. Going on vacation tomorrow and putting the clubs down, so new streak starts in about 10 days!
    • Day 44, June 17.  Today was some preliminary stretching, exploring what I'll want to set up as a regular routine (both while on vacation without clubs and when I'm back) (aside: this is part of an upcoming goal to stretch daily in a meaningful way, but I don't plan to count it as practice on days that I can meaningfully practice with a club)
    • Having a rough week. Went to the Dr. because I was really weak and could hardly swing my driver.  I take Propranolol 20 mg tablets twice a day. Seems like the Propranolol was driving my pulse down (low 50's).  So we cut the dosage in half and I started taking my blood pressure. It was a little high but pulse came up.   Then yesterday I raised it to 15 mg tab by taking it 3 times a day. Blood pressure 127 / 77 Pulse 75.  Heading out tomorrow morning for 18 holes.    I have my driver set at 10.5* but seem to have my swing speed to low and I can't get the lift on the ball I need.  I have not played this week in hopes I will have the strength to raise my swing speed. I may have to raise my loft to 12* . (I will take my driver wrench) tomorrow. (This Parkinson's is a pain in the butt.)  Will give you a report when I get back.    Retired Old Man, Terry
    • You still got to lift your arms. You basically just roll your wrist over in the 1st half of the backswing.   
    • Day 288 6-17 Low point control without ball. hit quite a few swing where i was wanting the club to hit the ground.  Added a ball with towel behind it, just to see where im at. Wasn't horrible but need some more work. Pretty much full speed swings.
