In the WITB Photo Edition thread I was asked about one of my putters so without junking that thread up with a different topic...

I stripped the honey finish from a CA Series Sonoma using naval jelly from the hardware store.  It was very easy to do and had no effect whatsoever on the paint fill.

The process is fast...

  • brush on the naval jelly with a brush to coat the entire putter head well
  • let it sit for 10 min
  • rinse off with warm water
  • repeat

This stuff has a strong rotten egg smell when it's working so you probably want to do it outside.

Looks like a Studio Select now! Just kidding. Looks simple and clean. Thanks for sharing.

It is very close to the finish of my studio select.  I don't like the looks of the putter, but it makes the most putts.  I had to do something to make it a bit more "mine"

That's pretty sick......One of the classiest looking putters I've seen if they just have the "scotty cameron" on the bottom and get rid of that "California Sonoma" crap....

looks good :)

The schoolteacher was taking her first golfing lesson. "Is the word spelt p-u-t or p-u-t-t?" she asked the instructor. "P-u-t-t is correct," he replied. "Put means to place a thing where you want it. Putt means merely a vain attempt to do the same thing."

    • Day 36: back to some mirror work tonight. Need a bit more forearm roll in my feels to help with the shallowing. 
    • _sigh_ so close to red text.  Went away for three days, but didn't do a practice morning-of-departure (Friday) nor evening-of-return (Sunday), so I had three misses, back to day one. Day 1, May 4 2026.  At home today, spent nearly an hour in my practice room, hitting about three dozen practice balls, primarily with my 6-iron.
    • Day 254 5-4 Arms off chest in backswing and downswing. Short swing, pause and then hit.  Hit foam balls. Keeping arching of wrist a focus as well. 
    • I would think of it in terms of time. The time it takes to get the arm angle into a good position to deliver the club with proper shaft lean. Another component is rotation, but that is also a matter of timing. It relates to how the body stalls to give the golfer time to hit the ball. If you have to get 80+ degrees out of that right elbow in one third of a second versus 50 degrees in the same time then you have to steal time from somewhere. It is usually body rotation. That does not help with shaft lean.  I agree in that amateurs tend to make the swing more complicated than pro golfers.
