Xstiffshafts Posted November 29, 2016 Author Share Posted November 29, 2016 Here are pics with a little more sun. I'm definitely pleased with the finish, I'm not sure I love the different colored sole weights, so silver may become blue... this one is destined to be sold, planning to list on eBay. If anyone is interested in a little MGS discount, PM me... I always loved the way Monterreys looked, but never putted well with one.

Xstiffshafts Posted December 1, 2016 Author Share Posted December 1, 2016 Thanks. That M2 is purple/grey but I blasted it after torching, so it definitely lost some of its color.

Xstiffshafts Posted December 2, 2016 Author Share Posted December 2, 2016 Thanks @thatginger96 The twisted neck was a lot of fun to do, and I can see why people get addicted to making crazy neck designs. It was a little flat (if a little is like 9°), so I heated again and bent it back to within a couple degrees +/- of 71°. When I say I bricked this putter, I really mangled it. It was like the 2nd-3rd putter I worked on and started with the bench grinder before I knew what I was doing... thankfully it was mine. Earlier this week, I ended up totally reshaping the putter with the bench grinder, grinder, file, etc... to give you about idea, "BETTINARDI" in electric green in the cavity is no longer there. The face milling fades from the heel toward the toe as well --- so it was a safe head to try the twist on. Would love to do a plumbers neck next. @mcaseym - it's actually carbon steel at about the darkest a torch will get it - it looks black in hand. No corrosion protection though.

Liberty Ball Markers Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 I'm in the middle of a 'yes' putter refurb, and stopped midway to figure out what to do with it. It's not even done with getting the small nicks out yet... I kinda like the brushed raw metal look (put some black paint in it to get an idea), but thinking of torching it really dark too. Any ideas?

Xstiffshafts Posted December 7, 2016 Author Share Posted December 7, 2016 I also like the raw look. Sometimes I love the way a putter looks after being sandblasted too. I usually don't stop there, but the face on that thing looks great. Is that yes stainless or carbon? I think it's stainless bc you wouldn't leave it raw if it were carbon and it was rusting due to just the little bit humidity in the house - carbon has a biiig color spectrum when torching... even still, I bet that thing would look great Torched really dark.

Liberty Ball Markers Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Well, after telling my wife that I was headed back to the garage after my online conversation with a guy named stiff shaft... (and then spending 10 minutes calming her back down) I got to torching - and then settled her down a little more while it was cooling. Put some black paint back in, and I think I finally got one just between dark brown and blue/purple.
