Hopefully somebody reads this, but I'm thinking about refinishing my versa putter. I don't have a torch but could probably get one if I had too and I also don't really wanna mess with the insert or shaft.. What kind of options would I have? I'm considering rusting it like my wedges that turned out well but have no idea if I would like it or not. Any ideas or advice

Refinishing DIY articles are all over the web. Basically you will need a few basic supplies and a drill. (a bench grinders works great, but need to adjust RPM to a lower speed)

Supplies are available at GolfWorks - http://www.golfworks.com/search.asp_Q_ipp_E_5000_A_t_E_c_A_c_E_30 

It's not really very difficult, you could buff by hand with durable soft rags/towels. A bench vise helps, or the old "workmate" bench. Dremel's are useful for details.

Also, there are many club refinishers who are reputable, experienced and usually lower costs than returning to manufactures.

Some items around the house work well. Brillo pads, souring pads, fine sand paper, stainless polish, goop hand cleaner to name a few.

Thanks guys!  I'll have to try out, or check out the interweb articles on refinishing and check out the black oxide finish for pitting

I read about guys, probably over 10 years ago, and they would pour Coca-Cola into a can and put their putter head into it for a soak ... apparently Coke eats everything. Then they would buy some gun blue ... if you search, you will find.

My preference, with so many guys doing this professionally, would be to send it to someone... Scott does have a custom shop; Tom Slighter refinishes putters, as do many others at varying prices. I remember BOS - Black Oxide Service - too.. http://www.bosgolf.com/finishes-and-prices

for pitting

Expand  

Rather than fill the pitts, with black oxide, you could use a sanding block to smooth the surface.

Alloys used in putters are easy to re-surface.
Start with a 80 grit and next step to 120 grit, then a 200. If you want a smoother surface finish with 400 grit.

It also knocks off dings and other marks.

Then apply the black oxide as the last step.

Worked on "polishing" some yesterday with a wire brush drill attachment and brasso.  I'll have to try the sanding block grits to get some pitting out.  IDK how brass and black oxide work together...good or in-different?

Here's an old thread - http://thesandtrap.com/forums/topic/14700-rust-on-black-oxide-putter/

I'm just guessing, Black Oxide would make the Brass color a darker finish?

Here's some info on www.puttertalk.com  and also http://www.puttertalk.com/community/index.php/topic,4596.0.html

Another thought, if you have access to a sand blaster, they are quick and do an incredible job.

Or find a local company, if you prep the club (tape the hosels, and lower six inches of the shaft) they are really reasonable.

Part of the beauty of the MyDay is the BeCu. I'd take off the dirt and the dings and leave color as is. I remember those putters as being fairly light. good luck.

    • Adding in, feeling like I purposely try to smash the clubhead into the ground 2 ft behind the ball. Just an arms down swing feel visual. 
    • Its good to hear you're back to swinging, and more important that you're feeling healthy enough to do it.  As Bill says, take it gently, push just a little, I'm sure you'll be back to speed soon.  
    • Yeah, all of the basic PA relief options are available for just one stroke.  However, 17.2a(2) offers an additional choice, the Player might choose to take Stroke and Distance by dropping within the PA, where he made his first attempt to play from the PA.  If he decides after dropping not to play it, he can then take any of the other options, for one additional PS, two in total.   Model Local Rule E-11 is probably being used.  The Committee can define whether the rule applies only to specific power lines or structures, could limit it to only those lines or structures in bounds.  However, then you have to determine where the ball hit the power line, which is pretty difficult, so most often they apply no matter where the ball hits the power line.  You can check the specific wording of the local rule to be sure. And the MLR as written applies no mater where the ball ends up.  So I think you did right, the player should replay the stroke with no penalty. You're right, the DQ only applies if a Stroke is made with the non-conforming club.  We'd have acted very quickly if we could have avoided that.  However, he had stickers on the driver, and we were made aware he had hit driver several times before we got the report.  
    • Always summed up my feelings about the man.  I'm a life-long Reds fan (took me till 12 to discover hockey). Even though I was pretty young, I remember the excitement when Rose came back to Cincinnati from Montreal and broke Cobb's record.  My parents weren't big TV people, so the night he got that hit off Eric Show, I was messing with an ancient black and white we had in the basement. Got it to work just well enough with the rabbit ears to get a half decent picture. It was an exciting moment for sure.  Unfortunately, it all went downhill from there. I suppose it is always tough on kids when their team's major stars show their warts. All those years of denial plus the occasional indication that he may have been an out-right pedophile, makes it hard for me to feel much one way or another. After all, the man is dead.
