Vintage PING Given A New Life!

[@wadeconney6507]

Very nice! One of my favorite putters , after the Cushin. Great job! Gonna share this vid with a few FB friends that restore Pings!

[@dannybrant6758]

Top notch restoration as usual.

[@igolf906]

Thanks! This one was rough. Not perfect but man, it looks nice and putts well!

[@dannybrant6758]

@@igolf906 they’re great putters. Prefer refurbing them to SCs. At least no one is faking these

[@EFreeman1970]

Dude, another great restoration. These are the ones I practice on. I bought six and have restored 2. I torched one blue with a rainbow fade paint scheme and cerakote as one black with a BMW M color scheme. I like the black and white, way better than it was and these are really great putters. I have really learned a lot from you, so thank you for that. My next one is the DIY button back on my SC flowback. Awesome! Thanks again

Ashy to classy!!! Another one back from the dead!!! 🔥🙌🏽

[@igolf906]

Thanks! I have an even older one in the works now! Super excited about this one!

[@kenmykietowich3625]

[@igolf906]

Thanks!

Are you using acetone at 2:48?

[@avery1990]

How you didn’t go with the Ping Grip should haunt you! 😂😂😂

[@igolf906]

This putter was for me. Not a fan of the Ping grip. But don't fear, if I do another one I already have the PP58 on standby 🤣

[@avery1990]

@@igolf906 Right On! I got an A Blade prepped for paint tonight and hopefully get a Anser 4 Polished if I find time.

[@CJChristianHailey]

What are you using on the first step of grinding? What’s on the wheel?

[@igolf906]

It's a convolute/deburring wheel. Check my descriptions for all the items I use.

[@riverhound9649]

You've got me and my boy refurbishing putters..hes been mainly messing with pings but were gonna tackle my beat up 2012 Scotty this winter..and i wanna customize my nike method core..gotta know where you found those nike band stickers?

[@igolf906]

Very cool! And I got them from eBay for a couple bucks!

[@gabrieleligeorge8864]

What grinder wheel do you use?

[@igolf906]

Check my description. Everything I use is listed in there.

[@johnkelly8688]

Another quick question for ya (sorry been asking a ton since I started) Working on some old pings and these heads will not come loose from the shaft. Tried head gun, just moved to a torch but they are STUCK. Any suggestions?

[@igolf906]

Never really had an issue. But when heating the hosel, make sure you are slowly twisting the head off, and keeping steady pressure. If that doesn't work, check to make sure it's not pinned into the shaft. If not, then you might have to get a long steel rod and stick it down the shaft. Heat it up, and hammer it off. I've had to do that with old Titleist irons before. But never a putter.

[@johnkelly8688]

Hey man, quick question. One of the poloshing wheels along with the some of the blasting sand you recommend is sold out. Do you have any solid recomendations for good solid all around options I can ise for both?

[@igolf906]

Honestly other than those I use the 3M wheels. Expensive but work well. You can try these, but I've never used them before. amzn.to/3xBaShr

[@igolf906]

Here is some other media to use. If you're looking for the glass bead. The 100g AO is still available so. Those are the only two I'm currently using. amzn.to/4cOwnvn

[@bigdealoreilly]

what grit is that wheel?

[@igolf906]

The wheels I use are in the description of all my videos. Mostly use 240 grit

[@travism3510]

what did u mean by 15 minute flash??

[@igolf906]

The "Flash" time. Is just a 15 minute period that you let the painted part sit, and let it "degas" before baking.

[@FlagstickPutters]

idk what I do wrong but my paintfill always comes out looking terrible.

[@igolf906]

Wait for it to dry before wiping it clean

[@beveridge1313]

i was the 69th like haha nice! anyway super nice job? you should make a gold putter sometime lol i think it be cool (not real gold just color obv.)

[@bobk.1428]

Awesome job except for the choice of grip

[@igolf906]

I disagree. That's actually one of my favorite grips from GP, and it's extremely cheap.

[@bobk.1428]

@@igolf906 you put a lot of time and work into that putter. In my opinion it needed a better grip to compliment your work. If you’re happy with it that’s all that really matters.

[@bobk.1428]

@@igolf906 looks cheap too

[@shmirginhymer1867]

​@@bobk.1428That doesn't even make sense. He put the grip he wanted on it. Wtf does it matter to you? It also matches perfectly and looks great

[@bobk.1428]

@@shmirginhymer1867 it doesn’t matter to me. Just expressing my opinion.

[@cristianramirez430]

No cree e clean build, I found an old ping pal that had that old set plastic ball retriever, I think that was made in Korea.

[@darrelllaidlaw7074]

Putter looked great till you put a Golf Pride grip on.

[@igolf906]

As extremely subjective as that is, I like the GP Tour Tradition & Tour Classic grips over anything Ping has to offer (grip-wise).

[@travismurnan7424]

Do all that amazing work and then make me cringe by not closing off the grip end with the tape twisted

[@shmirginhymer1867]

You do realize that closing the end off with tape is completely unnecessary right?

[@igolf906]

I agree with this guy ⬆️ If you've ever Regripped clubs straight from the manufacturer you will see they don't find it necessary either. 🤷‍♂️

[@florianpilon]

Perfect recipe to ruin a vintage Ping putter and wipe its value.

[@igolf906]

Definitely didn't hurt it's $25-$30 value. 🤷‍♂️

[@florianpilon]

@@igolf906 Whatever the value, this is tasteless.

[@shmirginhymer1867]

​@@florianpilonTo who, you? According to everyone else in the comment section, they think otherwise.

[@jeffhodge7333]

That putter was just fine the way it was. People screw things up in the name of restoration. Put on a new grip and you get another forty years of service with no grinding or painting.

[@igolf906]

Your opinion 🤷‍♂️
