Putter Refinish Question

We get a shitload of iron covers turned in. Obviously that’s 11 or so Headcovers to keep track of… bound to lose one, percentages are too high.

I always use a putter cover now. Back when I had a Ping Anser 2 stainless I didn’t, and they didn’t sell them with the putters anyway. Now the softer putters need covers or it’ll look like a bit before you know it. Rex putter is proof of what happens when you use one. My Ping Redwood Anser is flawless as was my Anser 2 milled that I just sold.

How hard is it to just slip it in a back pocket, when you take it off? migawd. People are idiots.

My putter came with a fake leather Scotty looking cover but it’s too big and bulky. I found a small stretchy cover on e bay . Take it off, stick it in my pocket, putt and put it back on. My son in law drives me nuts. He keeps all his head covers on in the trunk and for play he takes em off. What’s going to happen in the trunk?

Tinker What’s going to happen in the trunk?

Typhoon They fall off while clubs bang together or when they pull another club out of the bag.

Yep. Even nice ones like Club Glove are easy to fall off - don't ask how I know this.

I've never lost an iron cover, of any kind, in my life. It's not that difficult.

ode Isn't there a rule we have to have at least one set of each type?

Tinker that I could actually see a use for iron covers... Driving around I'm sure that those heads chatter against each other. The covers would keep everything quiet.

Gonna dredge up this thread, looking for advice from those "in the know".
Got this putter head from @KCee a while ago, with intentions of refinishing it. I finally got around to sand blasting it clean, today. I really like how it looks now/raw. Can I put some type of clear coat on it and leave it as is, but add paintfill or how would I go about it and how the hell do you clean paintfill in the tight spots, like the back of the cavity and the sight lines on the back flange? Also, how do you clean up paintfill without taking off paint and clear or whatever?

LBlack14 Ooh I like that raw look! If I had stripped it, I might have kept it lol! I have no clue about coating it though and what an acetone wipe (to clean excess paint fill) would do.

KCee don't know what it is, but when it's in the sunlight, it has sparkles. Can't tell from the pics though.

Combo of aluminum and zinc, probably. When you got all the weight in the bottom, the rest has to be lightweight.

Take a toothpick with some stripper to get that paint out.

I Liiike It!!

Dental assistants have left over metal, dental picks that are very handy for that and cleaning grooves
that are ummmm difficult. They readily hand them out as they have to dispose of them anyway in my
experience.

There is no paint. It's blasted clean.

I meant cleaning the paintfill I use. There's zero paint left.

Let the paint set for a bit but not dry and use an acetone wipe quickly over it. Takes just a bit of practice.

Take a paper towel and fold it so it has a flat surface to it.
If just going over an unpainted surface you can use acetone rubbing lightly,
if going over a painted surface use some alcohol on the paper towel shortly after you do the paint fill.
The trick is to go ACROSS the lettering or sight line not with it.
Use a paint pen with an oil base or lacquer paint that has a medium tip.
Don't paint the face either if you decided to coat the whole head.
