I got yer patina right here....

[Murphy76]

 

We have for you today a Ping Karsten and an Odyssey DualForce 662.  

 

I have tenderly aged these putters like a fine wine.  

 

Note:  no blue-glitter or any sort of enhancements were used.  This is real.

That blue crystal forming on the (I'm guessing...) BeCu putter looks an awful lot like copper sulfate. Wash your hands before you eat / rub your eyes if you're handling that thing.

Looks like a chemistry experiment.  🤨

Did you keep those in a lake for 5 years? 

[JetSpeed79]

Are these the ones they recovered from the Titanic?

Yeah looks like mold to be honest, not a good look.

This is a desired patina.

Speith's head is like the gold standard for patina seeing as people think it's an oil can. 

 

The Ogilvy one maybe a bit too much for me personally but some oil would probably have that looking nice.

For me, once orange and brown start getting all over things, that's too much patina.

What a great topic. I've never been a fan of patina on putters. But with many old Pings in my collection now, I've learned to embrace it. There's even been recent topics asking how to manually create or speed-up the patina process to get the look. While I'm not sure about the blue on the OP's putter, some natural patina is pretty cool.

 

I recently picked this up for $3. I've given it a light cleaning and plan to apply some white paint fill. It rolls nicely.

Fumes from ammonia will do the same thing in a few days.

I'm happy with the patina on my Tad Moore.
