Lucky13th Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 (edited) Hi all, What better way than to jump in than starting a thread on my first project! Below is the first Ping putter I have recently bought and looking to restore. This is a Ping Myday! This is my first project with anything like this. So would really appreciate any help or information anyone can give with regards to the process I should use plus the best equipment. Here are some pictures below. Thanks in advance!

Lucky13th Posted September 23, 2020 Author Share Posted September 23, 2020 So I’ve finally got my hands on the Ping MyDay. Heres a quick update on where and what it currently looks like. Hopefully get the paint fill done soon along with the grip and then find it a new home! HardcoreLooper and GBWarPig 2 Quote #PutterProjx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBWarPig Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 What was your process on restoring these? I do limited restoration work on vintage razors, and wondering if it’s similar enough that I could do putters too.

Then used a cleaning product to get some of the marks off. After letting that sit for a few mins wash this off. Following that, I used some fine scotch brite and rubbed it all over under running water. GBWarPig 1 Quote #PutterProjx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky13th Posted September 24, 2020 Author Share Posted September 24, 2020 (edited) So I’ve been very eager to get this prep’d before the arrival of the new grip. Below are the before and after pictures. Very very happy with how this has turned out!

Lucky13th Posted October 2, 2020 Author Share Posted October 2, 2020 Today was a good delivery day!! Got this Anser and Anser 3 through the post. May look to change the grips to new classic PINGMAN grips but not sure yet. HardcoreLooper 1 Quote #PutterProjx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky13th Posted October 11, 2020 Author Share Posted October 11, 2020 So I’ve been cleaning up the putters and was wondering what you guys would recommend to get in and clean the corners? I was thinking a dremel tool which I could then use to polish them a bit too Quote #PutterProjx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip Strokes Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 dremel with a small bit and some metal polish should do the trick. toothpicks work great to get polish out of the staled lettering Quote SIM2 8º | KuroKage XD 70TX SIM 3W 14º | Fujikura Atmos Black Tour Spec 9TX SIM2 5W 18º | Fujikura Ventus Black 10X U500 2i | Fujikura Ventus HB Black 10TX T100 4-PW | Dynamic Gold X7 SM6 52* SM8 56* SM8 60* | Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100 DW | BGT Stability Tour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky13th Posted October 13, 2020 Author Share Posted October 13, 2020 Here’s the finished job on the first Anser, love adding the touch of white on these as you don’t see many others doing this. Feel like it’s a nice unique touch. Heres the before and after: sirchunksalot and HardcoreLooper 2 Quote #PutterProjx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky13th Posted October 23, 2020 Author Share Posted October 23, 2020 Finally finished the Anser 3. The face had a lot of dings in. So what I’ve done is sand down the face to get it nice and smooth while still trying to keep the vintage look of the putter. Here’s how it looked before and now after:- Tarheelvolvo 1 Quote #PutterProjx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here’s how it looked before and now after:- Nothing against the job you did; cleanup looks good, but many Ping purists don’t think you should cleanup the patina look on these older models. Also, those clubs are typically light, how much weight did you lose sanding down the face? aerospace_ray, Rickp and Joel C 3 Quote Driver: G400 Max 9* w/ KBS Tour Driven Fairway: TS3 15* w/Project X Hzardous Smoke Hybrids: 915H 21* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype 915H 24* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype Irons: TR20V 6-11 w/Vizard TR20-85 Graphite Wedge: 54/12D, 60/8M w/:Accra iWedge 90 Graphite Putter: Sacks Parente MC 3 Stripe Backup Putters: Milled Collection RSX 2, mFGP2, Futura 5W, TM-180 Member: MGS Hitsquad since 2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I do like them cleaned up just a bit - especially the pitting/scratches/dings on the face since those do effect performance when hitting the ball. Didn't think about the weight issue, though. Definitely something to consider as I look at potentially trying something like this.

The face had to be cleaned up as it would have had a detrimental impact on the performance. as this was hand sanded, there was very little weight lost but will be countering this with weights Edited October 24, 2020 by Lucky13th cnosil and Tarheelvolvo 2 Quote #PutterProjx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would bet 5ish grams.
