Quick question b/c i can't seem to find an answer and i know guys here have done it. What is the process for paintfilling in clubs? i.e. what paint to use, sanding if needed, prep, etc. ?
Thanks a bunch in advance

I have always used a hobby store paint. Get some good model plane or model car paint and and a tiny brush. Clean where ever you plan in filling back in of all the dirt and what not. Paint in (im guessing your doing the numbers?) and don't worry about getting paint all over the club. Fill it it nice and thick. Give the paint 20 mins, than take a paper towel with a TINY pit of water and ever so gently wipe away the excess paint around the number. Then let the clubs dry for a couple of hours to ensure they dry all the way.

not myself.... a friend wants to do his numbers and his putter over (he's got an older odyssey and the sight lines and whatnot are gonzo) and unfortunately he doesn't have this site to help him out lol. would taping of the club be beneficial? i told him i'd help and if it came out well i'd do my putter too but i was wondering. could i tape it and use an airbrush using hobby paint as well? thanks for the suggestion, much appreciated...

This is the same process I have used to paint fill.

Acetone. You can get it at most hobby shops with the paint. Also at most hardware stores. Its cheap.

I usually just use my wife's nail polish remover. Just apply a good amount of the remover, let it sit for a minute or so (you might have to keep applying it because it evaporates quickly), and the paint should come right off. I did this to one of my putters (SC Studio Select Newport 2) a few weeks ago thinking I was going to repaint it, but I actually really like it with no paintfill at all.

Sorry i forgot to mention about how to get the paint off thats already there. Most of the time we are polishing clubs and that takes the paint off, but like others have said acetone or nail polish remover. My vote is for acetone on that. You shouldn't need to tape any part of the club up, like i said, just use a small hobby brush and hobby paint and let it sit. Its really easy and something like that can make a club look much better!

Acetone does work better, but for lazy people like me that don't want to get off the couch to go to the hardware store, nail polish remover is a lot more convenient.

      When does a 'non-conforming' club become just another piece of metal or plastic?

      My Swing (Retoid)

      By retoid · Posted

      This is my second year playing golf, I started last season but have always struggled with a slice. I've tried multiple things to try and fix the slice: Closing the face. Rotating my right hand out or clockwise in the grip. Keeping the club head low in my back swing. Focusing on a straight swing path. Trying the straighter arms like Bryson D. (as seen in the videos above) Trying to not let me hips get too far ahead of my down swing. Trying to keep my shoulders down until after I've made contact with the ball. Etc. I recently changed to the straighter arms which has helped me adjust away from such a drastic slice. So it has helped a bit. Before that, I was trying to keep the club head low in the back swing and this was the most helpful in correcting the slice, however it drastically removed power and distance in the strikes and would even sometimes result in a hook. About a couple months ago I had a single lesson with my driver and learned some helpful things, but have since struggled to perform what I learned well. One of the things in the lesson was to keep my shoulder down more in the the down swing until after making contact with the ball. This would help the slice a bit, sometimes drawing the ball. To even it out, I was instructed to rotate my hips a bit earlier in the down swing. What I have noticed however with the earlier hip rotation is that it's really hurting my lower back a lot. Since backing off on that it's helped not injure my low back as much. I believe my main issue might possibly be the swing path, being a Pull Slice.   See above, was mid typing when you posted. I have never watched Moe Norman's swing to be honest. I have never measure my hip rotation, but I'd like to hear your thoughts on that after you read about my hip rotation / back pain issue.

      Two questions… Are you trying to swing like Moe Norman? What's your hip turn like? Have you ever measured it?
