Scotty Golo project....

[kibbs]

Hey boys and girls,

 

So I recently picked up a Golo mid for dirt cheap. I love the way it looked head-style wise, but I really hate the all black PVD finish on it. Now, I don't know about you, but I love a good torched putter. So here's my project: Remove the PVD, torch, and paintfill.

 

Here it is so far (sorry for the cell pics)

 

 

 

 

 

 

It isn't done yet. Thinking about going with a little different paintfill on it. Give me your thoughts/comments/sugesstions on it. I'll keep it updated with pics.

How did you remove the PVD finish?

I like what you've done. There seems to be some heavy brush marks on the top line/ flange. Is that one purpose or is that just the flash detailing it more than it actually is in person?

I really like the classic look.

Took the PVD off with a drill and a large brush sanding bit and a scotch-brite pad. I left a little bit of the old finish on there to give it an older look to it.

The flash makes the brush marks look really heavy in the pics. You can barely notice the topline marks at address and I really don't mind the other ones on the flange.

I'd diggin' the MJ pic btw. Well played [size=4] [/size]

Out of 10? I'd mark it 8 Donny.

I forgot to add...

I took out the mid shaft, reshafted it at 33.5" and cut about 1/2" off the tip to give it more hang to fit my arc

Well played!!

Pretty cool project! I want to see some better pics without that flash once it's finished. I have seen some GoLo's that have been done by BOS by sand blasting the finish off with an end result of a silver mist. Looks really cool, yours will definitely be unique!

Thanks for recognizing Mike.....

Talk about a sick obsession. I started with Jordan shoes. I have since grown wise and now stick to golf clubs but not before spending a nice condo on my J's. 223 pairs.

Anyway....keep updating with pics. I'm a big GoLo fan but I don't like the PVD.

So the PVD finish can be blast off quite easily. I thought PVD is more durable ?!
