Magic! Easy Steps to Restore Your Ping Eye2 Beryllium Copper Irons

[@Andrew-Comi]

thanks man! there's not a lot of people with these clubs anymore. i can't give em up!

[@rhodehousegolf5624]

Same! Hold on to them

[@nomorenonsense]

How did these end up selling? I feel the majority of people would prefer the dark color created from the last 25 years. I just picked a set up today.

[@rhodehousegolf5624]

Great question! I couldn’t get myself to sell them and got my first hole-in one with them lol. However they went back to the original patina look after 6 months. Can’t even tell I shined them up. Enjoy your set! They’re great clubs

[@powercone486]

This did a wonderful job on my zing 2s. Thank you

[@rhodehousegolf5624]

Love to hear it and glad it helped!

[@ohboah320]

Oh my God! Never do this! The patina on these clubs is part of the value.

[@craigscott3133]

This works great. Cleaned up my new BeCus just right. It gives it a nice finish but doesn't over polish. You could polish them further with polishing wheels on a bench grinder, but I like them a little dull. Don't want to blind anybody.

[@rhodehousegolf5624]

Awesome Craig! Glad it worked for you too

[@craigscott3133]

The only issue is that. After cleaning, the green oxidation returns. I’m experimenting with car wax and maybe bees wax to inhibit that. Still, I think they going to be high-maintenance, but well worth it

[@rhodehousegolf5624]

Yeah I’m not sure how to avoid that. I’ve seen and heard rubbing oil on it works too but have yet to try it. Let me know if you find a solution!

[@apollo8972]

If you want to save yourself sometime simply put the whole set in a bucket of Coka cola and leave them overnight they come up pristine. I did this with my first set BeCu but regretted it. Personally I prefer the dark patina and most people do. Basically it’s up to you they will obviously dull again over time. Try and get your hands on a BeCu putter maybe a B60 to match your set. 👍🏻

[@rhodehousegolf5624]

I’ve seen the Coca-Cola thing on a few videos. Much easier on the hands I’m sure!

[@paulhomsy2751]

That's how I do it and it works perfectly.

[@tonyrusso7302]

I used to own a set of these irons and can attest to your theory. Coke restores the copper shine beautifully and easily. I was always torn between the two images of the clubs; loved the look of the bright copper but the patina was easier to use in the bright, summer sunlight. I miss those clubs!

[@tinhatrancher904]

Just bought a set of these. Will try this method. Done coke method on my 1967 Ping Myday putter. Looks similar in metal-copper look. Anyone know if the 1967 myday putter was Becu metal as well as the Ping eye 2(+) irons? Thank you. Loved the video. Sub'd ya.

[@davidmariacarroll5348]

I have done this too. Makes the club look like a brand new penny. You need to be careful not to submerge the shaft as I believe it weakens the bond between the club head and the shaft.

[@dopechicken7422]

nice, will try to clean my set using your method. i actually got it from my dad and actually in love with it.

[@rhodehousegolf5624]

You won’t believe the difference. One thing to keep in mind I found out since it is copper they are continuously tarnishing. So if you don’t like them shiny they will go back to the old look in a few months unless you apply oil to them monthly. Let me know how it goes!

[@russelllayman4017]

Ive tried everything on mine. Found Twinkle copper cleaner the best. Do recommend cleaning BeCu in a well ventilated area.

[@rhodehousegolf5624]

Thanks for the info. Good to know about the becu’s!

[@donaldvosburgh8337]

I used Twinkle copper cleaning paste. Toothbrush used to work it on and in. Wait a few minutes and then rinse with hot water. Sorry I ever sold them. EPA won’t allow the manufacture of beryllium copper because of the emissions.

[@rhodehousegolf5624]

Ill have to give that try. Thanks!

[@kennygreen1722]

My process: 5gal bucket, 2ltrs of Coca Cola. Dump all the cola into bucket and let irons soak overnight. Rinse the next day for the same results with no “Elbow grease” required.

[@rhodehousegolf5624]

I tried that in another video. Much easier process 😅

[@jeffnahass8373]

Strong vinegar, salt, and baking soda soak. Then shine up. I even buff them. Great clubs. I like when they turn black. When played the patina comes off.

[@rhodehousegolf5624]

First time hearing that way. I’ll have to give it a try! Thanks Jeff

[@Master...deBater]

Lol...the baking soda (base) neutralizes the vinegar (acid)!

[@christopherkeller6367]

Good stuff… I use a set of black dots that got passed down to me from my dad. They need to be shined up in a bad way.

[@rhodehousegolf5624]

Shine away!

[@jaydee5447]

Please tell me you didn’t sell those Brother. Those clubs are keepers

[@rhodehousegolf5624]

Still got them! Just couldn’t get myself to do it

[@paulhomsy2751]

Using coke (coca-cola) diet, regular, zero, (Pepsi works also) whatever is on hand in a bucket does the trick overnight. You can always add a little sheen, if you want to, the way you do it or with a copper cleaning product like Brasso but it isn't really necessary. Coke does a very good job.

[@rhodehousegolf5624]

I’ll try that next time! They tarnish fairly quickly if you don’t keep up with them

[@metagolfer4550]

Love my copper heads.

[@rhodehousegolf5624]

Great clubs!

[@kennydouglasw]

What did you end up selling them for?

[@rhodehousegolf5624]

Great question! I haven’t sold them yet. Right before I was about too the postal service lost another set of clubs I sold. Made me hesitant to sell these, but I plan too this year. I’ll make a video for it when I do

[@Master...deBater]

@@rhodehousegolf5624 "Lost"??? USPS is a racket of thieves!!! The managers turn a blind eye because the tax payers pay for the losses. At least with corporations like UPS and FedEx, loss prevention is a priority. Not to mention, they only charge about half the price to ship golf clubs.

[@paulmcgee1867]

Interesting but I don’t find that the restored ones look any better

[@rhodehousegolf5624]

Both look great. Only reason I like them cleaned up is because they really standout in the bag when that sun shines on them

[@bradoffenburger2521]

Just use CLR 30 minute soak rinse done

[@rhodehousegolf5624]

I’ll have to look into that! Thanks for sharing

[@toolpathgolf]

gooooood!!!!

[@rhodehousegolf5624]

Thanks! They clean up nicely

[@danc2014]

Beryllium however is a toxic material and needs special care . Cleaning process can be dangerous is done incorrectly.

[@stevebaker7056]

GO IU !

[@rhodehousegolf5624]

You know it!

[@edwarddurkin6635]

Beryllium is toxic which is why they don’t make these anymore. The alloy itself is safe, but dealing with the toxicity in manufacturing is too costly. I wouldn’t clean these as I could be exposed to toxic airborne substances. The copper patina is beautiful as is.

[@polaroidwhite9037]

Why would u ruin these classics by removing the patena...sad

[@rhodehousegolf5624]

Doesn’t take but a month or so for them to return to patena style

[@tonyb8791]

You're not cleaning, you're ruining the patina that it took years to accumulate. Pity.

[@rhodehousegolf5624]

It took 3 months to go back its original patina look 👍

[@randyjohnson6690]

Or you could just soak them in coca cola overnight rinse and dry. This is nonsense.

[@tg5298]

Simple coke works. Too detailed guy

[@rhodehousegolf5624]

Got another video on coke brother ☝️
