Ping BeCu Anser2 - 2.0


Recommended Posts

I've written about this one while all the updating and restoration work was going on - and not it's time to show it off a bit...

 

 

Here's a list of what was done:

 

Sound Slot was cut.

 

Tungsten Weight added.

 

355G Stamping.

 

I gave is some rolls before the polishing and it was a treat. It was intended to be my birthday present from the family, but may pass it on... It was a bumpy road, but the morphine drip just kicked in.

Looks awesome, but it'd be way too shiny for me to game. Needs some patina!

Thanks Guys -

I'm more of a light / medium patina guy, especially when it turns from red to a blueish color...

I started with a little bit of a beater, then tumbled it and just couldn't stop....

You're both right about the glare... 11:00am or 1pm you better put on your Ray Bans and some zinc oxide while in the green.

I would say this may just be piece for the office, but we'll see.

You can not get the original type patina back once it has been polished.

That's fine by me... I have 20 of the 21 different BeCu's that Ping made from the late 80's to mid 90's, so that is way more than enough brown for me...

If I were to game it and let the patina set in - I will seal it when it hits the red / blue stage....

Not sure what I'm going to do with this one though.

Very nice. You are right in saying perhaps it should end up as a trophy piece in your home.

With the added weight did it change the feel when putting?

Any sign of spring golf yet in MN?

Hey Alex -

We've had snow 2x since April 1st, and it's even snowing right now.... Last year I had about 10 rounds in at this time.

What about you North of the border?

Thanks!

I haven't putted since the polishing, but I did before.... At 33.5" it really felt GREAT - sounded GREAT too! Solid, yet soft...

Ping - No, none of it...

The only thing Ping will do with a BeCu or BeNi is reshaft and tumble. If you ever send one in for a tumble - make sure to file some of the dings before shipping. I know from experience - and have since bought my own tumbler...

I don't believe the patina reforming will be a problem... I have a BeCu Eye2 PW that I had adjusted to 54* to use as a GW... Last year I restored the head and for a little contrast, I polished the cavity - I used polishing compound and the patina is coming back just fine...

Here's another option -

I polished this BeCu Pal2 and torched it afterwards... Pretty neat look - IMO

Torching beryllium copper? I'm no chemist but is that advisable?
[/quote]

No worries... I did the torching over the big burner on the gas stove, but I had the fan on. Right after cooking the beef for the Hamburger Helper...

Kidding - the torching was done outdoors, also while wearing a proper ventilation mask....

I just sold off my last BeCu Eye2, but I can replace it when I feel the need... The one that I can't get my hands in is a GoWin5. It is actually a GoWin5KS, but there is no "KS" on the head. I have yet to confierm, but I believe the hossle is the only difference. I have a MagBrz GoWin5KS it doen't say KS on it. All the KS models have more of a flow to the hossle vs the standard plumbers neck.

Does anyone know what the "KS" stands for in those older models? (Karsten Solhiem?????)

If anyone out there has one - drop me a line....
