I have wanted the Taylor made Ghost so bad that I painted an old putter white. So far the paint has held up, but its still no Ghost.

Looks good.

It was a badly chipped up black. I sanded it down to the metal and airbrushed automotive paint on it. It took about 4 lightly applied coats to cover it. I used flat white but if I do it again I will use a satin finish to make it easier to keep clean.

Did you engrave White Lightning on there? That is really cool. Looks good. If only that insert weren't phonebook yellow.

Wow, people really do a lot to make putts don't they? It's funny, cause to me, putting has always just been putting, It's easy. Now I see tour pros are doing everything, belly putters, white putters, heavy putters, weird grips, routines... I don't quite understand it.

Does this aid you in putting, or is it just aesthetic?

When I first saw the title of this thread, I thought of someone dumping their nice, new putter into white wall paint. I guess not.

It looks great though, very nice job. I would imagine that in bright sunlight it could get distracting, have you tried it yet?

That's pretty rad! I like the "White Lightning" too. I remember painting my first XG7 putter flat black because I was nearly blinded by the glare and missed a 2 foot putt in a tournament. haha. Some excuse huh?

I tried painting a 2h of mine, Metallic Bronze. I put probably 30 coats of paint with another 10 coats of clear coat. One missing element, I didn't realize how fragile it is, I don't know if manufacturers have a hardening agent or use some kind of hardening procedure. I hit one shot high on the face from the rough, and the top chipped. Now its been eaten up. When it first came out it looked great though, shiny. I'll try and get a picture.

Good job again on yours!

Got some pictures...

Generally, companies use special paints made to adhere to the material in question. Basically, the way most paints for things like this work, is they put the paint on, and it shrinks as it dries, forming a tight skin. The other way is to use paint which is charged, and to charge the club the opposite, so there's an electrostatic bonding that occurs. I would venture to guess that electrostatic charging is how they do it. The type of paint you get at the hardware store does not have the same quality, nor the same ability to stick to metal.

Yeah, that makes sense. Thanks.

Good, because halfway through typing it, I started to wonder if it did.

BTW, tried the tour issue Aldilla shaft (It was George McNeil's Titleist 909D... D2? driver to be exact, with a VooDoo), and you're right, they are good shafts.

Do you know George McNeil personally? I've hardly been watching golf lately, but when I was I always checked on him. I remember when he first came on the PGA Tour not too long ago. He was a club pro? In his 30s, if I remember correctly?

Anyway, yeah, that shaft kicks butt in my 3w. I'm currently using the VS Proto By You in my driver with some nice success.

I haven't met McNeil personally, but one of his close friends is a pro, (hopefully going to be out on tour soon.) Anyway, I practice with this guy a lot, he gets a lot of clubs from Titleist as well as many of George's hand me downs (they have the same fit).

    • On my car I got the extended power train warranty. I do read the fine print most of the time. Though at now 37, my eyes aren’t what they were 10 years ago.    The problem with most of these extended warranties on electronics and appliances is you don’t register the warranty with the place you buy the warranty from, which I’ve always found strange. Unless it’s GameStop then you know Alina drops her Switch in the next two years and the screen cracks they’ll replace it. No questions asked.    You buy a slow cooker at Walmart for $50 and the extended warranty is say $6, you have to go through a third party to register your product for the warranty, and it’s pretty damn annoying. Target is the same way. Anything you buy the extended protection on you have to go through a third party.    Why do retailers go through a “broker” for warranties? Because they don’t wanna deal with it? They make me talk to someone from another country, that I can barely understand, when I need my warranty fulfilled.   Sorry for the rant.
    • You may be able to find a regular flex Blueboard on the second hand market. I’m little more than half your age so I swing a shaft that launches pretty low so I don’t have a lot of experience with Regular flex (other than when I try to hit it I miss way to the left).    There are other shafts, such as the newer Ping Alta that I’ve heard good things about. And one that no one talks about. The Jupiter shaft. You can get this shaft for a $100 with a grip and your Ping adapter installed. I was talking to the golf manager at Dick’s Sporting Goods here and he has one in his driver and has nothing but good things to say about it. I thought about getting one for my Paradym Triple Diamond to play it a little shorter, but haven’t pulled the trigger yet.

    • Meanwhile, another old Tour Edge guy switches to Callaway for this season. I have a different problem, course dependent set-ups. What I’m wondering is if @dragonsmhas the 8 iron set 5-PW, AW, GW or just 5-PW, GW. Because the PW is 42°, AW 47°, and GW 52°. Because that could potentially be a gap there. The 5-iron to 6-iron length jump is 5/8” instead of 1/2” so you should be careful of that.    @WUTiger the problem most people have with 3-woods is they don’t play them far enough back into their stance. And they usually don’t have enough loft and the shaft is too long. So 3HL, 4 or 5-wood is probably better for most golfers. I do the “Frankenwood” approach. I have both the 3+ and 5 woods. I typically will either add two degrees to the 3+ on 6600 yards or longer courses, or take a degree off the 5-wood on shorter courses than 6300 or so, and use the 5-wood shaft for both. I don’t usually find a situation where I need both the 3 and 5 wood on a course. I don’t play from 7000 yards it’s no fun. Edit: I mostly agree with @WUTiger on the gapping, although a lot of the newer even fixed hosel fairway woods are made better than what we had when we were playing the old Exotics XRails.
