Ping Eye 2 restoration?


Recommended Posts

I have a set that my neighbor was playing last weekend still. My question is restore them to what? Mine look like they did in 1984 or whatever. Compared to a new Hogan club of that era or Wilson, Macgregor, these Pings were down right ugly. They were functionaly as heck. And so darned durable. Man, my neighbor borrowed them over a year ago while waiting for me to replace a shaft he bent hitting a tree with his Callaways. He has yet to return them and still plays with them because they are so easy to hit. The grooves are still in fine shape. I am not concerned about them wearing more because he does not hit the same grooves twice.:D

 

 

Now if the were the BeCu's then that is different.

Sorry, I do not remember mine being shiny and sparkly. But I bought them used. But man they are great irons. I played with them for a while last year. I also had a set of BeCu ISI that I played with a few years ago.

They were never " ...all shiny and sparkly... ". Brand new they were rather grey in a clean way. Some friends foolishly polished their clubs to a high shine and ended up with mirror brights that were a nuisance when the sun reflected off the shiny heads and into their eyes.

Yes they were and still are a dull grey color. I just want to add a little life back to them if I'm not going to play them, that is all. This is more of a trophy rack adventure rather than a playability thing. I've seen them redone in the Guyson finish and it intrigues me much.

Have a caution polishing them. That stainless polishes mirror bright and doesn't want to dull all that much. To my eyes they looked a bit strange and their owners didn't much like them after a while. Nothing seemed to be lost in the playability side, other than the excess brilliance. To my eyes they ended up looking cheap so I stayed with the original finish and simply did what I could to keep them clean.

The guyson finish is where it's at. Looks niiiiice.

 

Another option is walnut shell blasting them locally.

Have a ton of back-ups in all categories, but there are always 14 clubs in the bag that differ depending on the course and set-up. Bomb and gouge. Yes, I'm a club gigolo.
