Hey Dan! Thanks for a great video! Any chance you could update the last two links in the description, please? Thank you for the clarification and great video quality. Top notch! Subscribed!!!!
Dan, great videos! Do you always just paint fill your back plate rings on SC putter? Or is there somewhere you can purchase different colored plastic rings?
It depends on what metal your putter is made of. Stainless steel and aluminum won't rust (in most cases) but carbon steel will start to rust almost immediately, unless properly oiled
Good video. You never mentioned anything about restoring the face of the putter. Do you bead blast the face. If the face has a small ding how do you remove it. Thanks?
The only way to repair the face properly is by re-milling the face. I don't own a milling machine so I am currently unable to show that stage of the process
So you want to be able to pick up one of these sanding wheels at home Depot or Lowe's, they are 3M deburring wheels, I'd have to look up the exact specs because I don't remember that off the top of my head, but they sell them on eBay for 60 to $70
I am interested on that stone wheel grit # also...I have begun restoring many of my family and friends’ old golf clubs. I have a bench grinder w a coarse and medium stone wheels on it. I bought a few thrift store $1-2 irons and putters, verrrry beat up, gouged, nicked up.... ...just to test my skills on my bench grinder....ouch!!....Even w the greatest care and even strokes of the club on the medium grinding wheel...I found the bench grinder is wayyyyyyy too aggressive unintended removing too much metal.....especially on narrow edges where the grinding wheel is hard to navigate the club edges. I found this caused a ton of corrections to straighten the edges after the grinder. My son , who is an avid golfer warns me a putter’s metal weight is crucial to the integrity and feel of any putter, I.e. removing putter club metal on a grinding wheel....changes the weight to throw off the feel....He has tried a few test refinished putters and was not happy w loss of the weight on putter strokes. With that said, if....we can determine the correct grit on these grinding wheels, I would try again...hopefully a much finer grit wheel?
So I haven't done irons, because powder coat doesn't hold up well on hard impacts, but I'll have a bunch of videos coming out soon covering some of the new, stronger options available for blacking out putters and irons
The wheel that I used is linked in the description, but if you can't find it let me know and I'll look it up for you. Thank for your comment and support!
@@codyparker8187 irons are a bit tougher than putters, especially cast irons. The grinding process is similar, but requires quite a bit more work. A sand blaster is needed if you want to give the irons a "like new" or original finish. You also have to be careful not to remove to much material from the sole of the irons or you will change the bounce. The other challenge when doing irons is the face... It is nearly impossible to keep the face of the club perfectly flat when using a grinding wheel. When it come to irons I normally recommend either replacing them or sending the back to the manufacturer to be professionally restored. All that being said, it is possible to restore irons back to good or very good condition it you have the right tools and pay close attention to detail
@@codyparker8187 it would definitely take away the shine of the chrome, but unless you are using an extremely heavy grit it wouldn't remove the chrome plating
I'm sorry I'm not 100% sure which paint you're talking about in this video. I did do a video where I covered exactly what kind of paint fill I use on my putters so if you check that out maybe it'll answer your question. If not, could you please give me a little bit more detail about what paint you're talking about? Are you talking about the putter head itself the matte black? Because that's not actually paint that's powder coat
@@justdan5735 because i tried to paint with tayami spray paint, after painting it black i smeared the words on the putter face in yellow. but when i erase it, both the black and the yellow color fade away. it cannot retain the black color. Can you tell me the paint process to keep the black paint on the putter face as long and beautiful as scoty can. so that when I color the text, I no longer have to worry about the black fading. If possible, I would like you to tell me the name of the paint in detail and how much to mix and what paint sprayer to use. I sincerely thank you very much.
and at 9 minutes 13 seconds in the video, can you tell me what kind of black you paint the putter face. What are its ingredients and how to make it? and what machine (eg paint sprayer) can be used to paint the putter face black like that. because I'm looking to paint my putter face black. I would like to thank you
@@hanggolfanpcua595 Okay, I think I understand what you're saying. I think yhe issue you are having is you're using paint instead of powder coating. Sadly painting a putter wont work... even if you do everything right the paint will flake, chip or peal. Powder coating is a totally different process and requires specific tools. Here is a link to my video where I explain in detail how to black out your putter. ruclips.net/video/fQP4trPvTWo/видео.html
@@justdan5735 May I ask you. after black powder coating. then I want to paint the letters on the putter face. then how. I painted with nail polish, and removed excess polish with nail polish remover. but I'm concerned it will strip the black paint on the clubface because it's a cleaning agent. Can you make a video to teach me more. because I'm looking for a way to paint the text in gold on the black background of the putter face. I sincerely thank you very much.
@@shmirginhymer1867 I put about 7 to 15 putters through these wheels every week and a single wheel last me about 6 to 10 months. They are expensive, but in my opinion they're totally worth the money and pay for themselves over and over again before I replace them
@@justdan5735 You just answered my question. Probably going to pick one up tonight. Problem is my grinder has a 5/8 arbor. All these fine wheels are 1"
Such a lack of quality instruction like this on RUclips , great video
Thank you for your kind words
Thanks for making this video, not much out there on RUclips about refinishing putters. Awesome!
Clean. Wish i was capable of doing this to my used Seemore.
Hi Dan, great work. how did you achieve the black finish at the end ?
Hey Dan! Thanks for a great video! Any chance you could update the last two links in the description, please? Thank you for the clarification and great video quality. Top notch! Subscribed!!!!
Thank you so much for the incredible detail! Great video man!
Dan...great video but you for to tell us what grit you were using while deburring? Thanks
Thanks for your video Dan, can you told us what you did on the milled face to avoid to damage it please ?
Thank you for the detailed video, it was very helpful. Do you have any powder coating powders you would recommend?
Woah - Havent seen these! Please keep your activities and vids like this going!!
This is a great walk through. Great job.
How did you remove the sole plate? I saw you started to heat it up with the torch.
Thanks for a great video Dan. Do putters need to be sealed after sandblasting with electroplating, paint or whatever, to prevent rusting?
Only if the model is made out of carbon steel
Excellent craftsmanship. I just recently purchased a used golo mid. Would you be willing to refurbish mine for a fee?
If you'd like to send me a message on my Instagram account I'd be happy to discuss options with you. Sick_Flat_Sticks
Any other ways to contact you? I don’t have social media
Dan, great videos! Do you always just paint fill your back plate rings on SC putter? Or is there somewhere you can purchase different colored plastic rings?
I've looked everywhere for the translucent plastic that Scotty uses, but I've never been able to find them
Hi. Would the putter rust if left after the sandblasting process and nothing else done to it? Many thanks great video
It depends on what metal your putter is made of. Stainless steel and aluminum won't rust (in most cases) but carbon steel will start to rust almost immediately, unless properly oiled
Hello Dan, question can you customize a right handed putter head to left handed? Can it be done ?
@@RamiroSayas-f2x It totally depends on the putter model, but yes it's possible on some putters.
Hi Dan, are you still doing restorations if so, I have a Golo 3 to restore. Can you let me know, thanks
Yes I do, my Instagram account is Sick_Flat_Sticks. If you want to send me a DM we could discuss the project

Still curious about what type of wheel you were using though?
@@jakefearn9416 I did list a link in the description this time 😉
Thank you
Hi Dan, love the work you do restoring the putters. Would you be able to restore mine if I shipped it to you by chance?
I'm not currently accepting additional work, but I could definitely let you know when I am. What kind of putter were you looking to have restored.
No worries, I have a Scottie Cameron Newport 2.5 putter.
@@andrewstuart2585 well as soon as I can start accepting projects I'll definitely let you know
Just Dan please let me know too! I have a Scotty Cameron too that would love to get restored love your work and huge earned a new subscriber!
@@zoemaravilla3850 Thank you! I've been saving money for a milling machine and once I can buy one I think I'll start taking on new projects
Cool vids man, think I may do this to my scotty
Hi Mark, if you'd like to reach out to me on Instagram Sick_Flat_Sticks, I'd be happy to talk options and pricing.

Have you ever blacked out irons? Could you do one 😻

Did you find a link for glass?
Are you available to refurbishment a Scotty Golo
Yes I am, the easiest way to setup a customization would be through my new Instagram page: Prodigy_Golf_Productions
I'm in LA
@@csisthesquad Nice! I'm from San Diego born and raised
How do you remove the "dots" on the backside ??
what paint did you use for the black finish?
It was matte black powder coat, but I've actually stopped using powder coat and started using Cerakote because it is a much stronger finish
What dremel pieces are you using?
What grinding wheel specs do you use for stainless steel putters?
It's a 3m General deburring fin S9
What pressure should I have the blasting at?
Well done.
I'm in the very beginning stages of my own putter customizations. How important is having a sand blaster?
Important
It's very important
Gained a subscriber. What grit grinding wheel? I have been wanting to restore irons as a hobby and this looks fun too.
The wheel that I used is linked in the description, but if you can't find it let me know and I'll look it up for you. Thank for your comment and support!
Do you by chance know how to do irons? I did a set with a 6 inch deburring wheel and then a buffing wheel but I think there has to be a better way

You are super helpful. So sand blasting chrome blades would give it a raw unchrome finish?
@@codyparker8187 it would definitely take away the shine of the chrome, but unless you are using an extremely heavy grit it wouldn't remove the chrome plating
These are rad
Thank you!

I'm still trying to fathom how that deburring wheel took out all those gouges..... You must have been on the grinder for literal hours.
Most putters take 30 minutes to one hour of grinding. You'd be surprised how much material the wheel takes off
@@justdan5735 Nice. I've been looking at these wheels for awhile now and am torn because of how expensive they are. They last awhile?
