WE REFURBISHED THIS OLD PING PUTTER WITH AMAZING RESULTS!?

[@reinhold83]

Best putter I’ve used is my odyssey jailbird putter I can’t miss with it at the moment cheers

[@SASGolf]

Congrats mate, You won the putter! Reply to this comment with your email and will get it sent to you. Thanks Si

[@rvcivil]

Best putter I’ve used was an old Ping B60. Sold it thinking I needed a new one. Never been the same.

[@craigdavis9760]

Just started to get into golf this year and through some Facebook finds I am using a Ping Craz-e putter and since I am new this has been the best one. Love the channel and all the great tips to help me build my bag.

[@jwilkinson5855]

What a great guy giving his time up help out 👍

[@ryandavies8065]

Thanks mate

[@phillipfirmin3264]

I would say my best putter, which I still have, is the Ping Anser! It helped me to gain confidence and accuracy with my putting, like no other! Due to technical advances, I have moved onto a Scotty, but still a blade putter.

[@DomenicoIorfino6470]

My best is my current Odyssey Dual Force 992. It’s always cool to see old “dead” things be resurrected.

[@johnhatch3071]

I use the Odyssey dual force 554 and absolutely love it, been in the bag for over 20 years!

[@garydavis8213]

Thanks to Ryan for getting involved!

[@cliftonmanley3882]

In 1974 I stored my clubs in the Pro Shop at Eastlakes GC in Sydney. After I'd played he did this to my clubs, including a light sand-blast of the face to return grip. It's Amazing how the Role of a Professional Golfer has changed. The knowledge is almost lost.

[@leeschwabe3854]

Great to see old stuff renewed. Simon, we really enjoy watching and learning from your videos. My favorite putter was an OG Odyssey 2Ball. It just seemed to work for me.

[@mattscallon3820]

Sweet a lefty give away! The best putter I have ever used was a modified Odyssey O-Works Tank 7 putter that I had an extension put on and a JumboMax grip put on to use as an armlock putter. I created it while I was struggling to putt with a Odyssey Double Wide putter. While armlocks may become illegal I love putting with it and it is also the best putting training tool as if I use a similar motion with any other putter now I can putt decently.

[@renmay3171]

Think the best I’ve used had about a 15 year hiatus. Used to putt well with a Ping Redwood D66 when they first came out, but as we all know, things come and go. Next shiny new thing. Then since I retired here to the Philippines, sold all my high end stuff, been going back old school. Saw a FB ad for a like new same model Redwood for $80, snatched it up. It improved my putting and is currently in rotation with a Yes Sophia that I just got for $60 like new. Old stuff, at least irons and putters, still play well!

[@cristinosanchez]

i'm a Ping fan and i'm currently building a vintage set that consists of Eye 2 irons and an Anser 2 putter that i'm restoring. i don't have a buffer but Brasso and a little elbow grease goes a long way into making these things lood great again! i'm currently using Piretti putters-my neighbor owns the company!

[@damarapoledna3636]

I have used a small hand held sander to remove/blend the scratches and shave down those rolled edges. Then polish to bring out the original finish. Can make them look super nice. Of course, sanding on the heads to lead to other issues with penetrating the chrome or other exterior corrosion protection. So, I would only recommend this as a personal club and not to be sold.

[@centralems40736]

I use a ping pal 4 to this day! I bought it lightly used in the late 90’s when i started playing golf. It was the first club i ever bought with my own money. All my other clubs were given to my by my granddad who was a pro at a golf course. It was just a mix of clubs but that putter was mine lol. Tried many other putters but always go back to the PAL 4

[@LetsPlayThru]

Huge difference! I’ve got a few clubs I need to try this on. Always love a bit of new filler paint to customize it as well.

[@trevlittle8692]

Great to see old equipment with some history brought back to life. Great video. I've not been playing long but I've had 3 putters. My favourite is the Odyssey Dual Force 222.

[@rolandmoore9527]

What a change, looks great.

[@DizneyDan]

Best putter I’ve used is my current Wilson Infinite. Well priced, forgiving. Massively improved my game. Awesome video. :)

[@simonmorgan225]

Saw a vid saying place putter in cider vinegar then boil it. Cleans all the dirt off and makes polishing easier. I'm gonna try it on by Bullseye flange (best putter I've hit, unbelievable feedback yet forgiving).

[@ryandavies8065]

I used a similar solution on another one (white spirit and white vinegar) and left it for the day while I was at work. The result doing that alone were outstanding.

[@stevekauffman9244]

I just semi refinished a Ping Anser from 1968-1973. I didn't polish it all the way shiny but cleaned it up and regripped it. I plan to use it.

[@mikeb3835]

I have a Ping Pal putter that I refurbished about 20 years ago, I also paint filled the Ping Pal on the back and the alignment groove on top. It didn't stay shiny for a long, so and now I just leave the patina.

[@rickd9969]

The result on this putter is amazing. I was using an odyssey versa fang up until this year but picked up a 41 year old ping b60 out of my old man's garage. Put a new grip on it and it has been brilliant for me. Not sure I want to do anything to clean it up as my confidence standing over it on the green stems from the knowledge it has been sinking puts as is for all that time....

[@VoodooChicken13]

lefty here, thanks for all your content, favorite putter of all time so far has been an odyssey o works with microhinge insert

[@333brooky]

Love this ! Best Putter I have ever used is a 33 inch Bettinardi BB1 Black finish Carbon Steel

[@garyself2378]

Had s Ping Anser 2 25yrs ago. Bought one recently for no money at all. Using it and loving it once more.

[@liampaddick2242]

An odyssey 2 ball is my one and only! Been using it for the whole 12 years I’ve been playing and don’t see myself changing anytime soon!

[@tommyrecyclence8233]

I don't know about best, but my favorite of all time was a Ping My Day. It was stolen a long time ago. Loved that club.

[@bernardduffy3300]

My best putter is the one that I have used continuously since 1987! It is a Ping Kushin. I have missed thousands of putts over the years but none of those misses was ever the fault of the metal implement. The human holding the handle was responsible. I may sometimes be a bad workman; but I never blame my tools! Having seen this putter being renovated, I am now minded to make mine shiny and new, too! Can I borrow Ryan for an hour, please?

[@dpezza5]

Loving the advice on flipping clubs and refurbing them on the channel. Never been blessed with great putters, best one I've had is my current Benross casino I think

[@RDSpider86]

Still using my Odyssey White Hot Rossie from when I was a teenager. Love it!

[@andrewgillie3598]

Awesome job mate. Scotty Studio Design Number 5. It will never leave my possession

[@pc1491]

You can get the polishing wheels with an adapter for hand drills and comes with waxes for different metals etc. I had this for a putter refurb.

[@chadode9048]

I have been using a SC Newport - and I was at a PGA Superstore yesterday tinkering with putters...and I fell in love with the Ping Heppler Tomcat 14! I usually do not like mallet putters...put it was amazing!

[@cheekyscamp5]

I've gamed an Odyssey works no 7 for a number of years and I love the feel of the putter. If only my putting did it justice!

[@tsc6454]

Great video and the pretty turned out amazing! I've used the same putter for over 15 years. It's a ping pal 2 in nickel. Every time I try a different one I feel like I'm cheating on my old ping lol. Thanks Simon!

[@matthewpocock4824]

Did my own Ping My Echo from the early 60s. It looks like new! My favourite putter hasn't arrived yet - My brother is buying me a new Scotty Cameron Newport 2 for my birthday next month.

[@golfer4713]

Tried a similar job on a Titleist Dead Center - toughest bit was getting paint out of corners - went from £5 ebay purchase to a shiny putter that looks better than the TM attempt to copy.....will put it in my bag over the winter to stop scratch damage to mine on sanded greens and surrounds (also be getting winter wedges out soon too - no point blunting grooves in bounce games)

[@stephenbeach1933]

Hey that's a great transformation - if you have a game with Ryan he deserves a playing lesson..!

[@ryandavies8065]

Agreed!!

[@coltonesker2755]

I had the odessey #1 throughout all my junior years but recently got fitted for the spider x and boy oh boy do I love that putter

[@leeking888]

That putter looks nice, my best putter which I'm using until now is a Ping Craz E putter mallet type

[@yukonliving]

Best putter I’ve had is my Scotty Cameron Newport 2. Such a nice feel, and balanced weight. I’ve never tried a Ping though!

[@tonythomas8564]

I am left handed and use a very old Patty Berg blade putter. It cost me about £7 second hand about 40 years ago!!

[@jasonthompson1941]

Since I started playing I’ve used a Rosie, white steel, stroke lab #1, but I just love the way they zebra putter looks. I took it to the practice green a couple times as a joke and I’m easily the most consistent with it.

[@markarmitage2165]

Wow I used to have one years ago. I used to polish mine with brasso I have a titleist Newport now love it.

[@andrewthompson5184]

Ping fetch putter is the best putter I’ve used. Soft face and a fancy ball picking up feature.

[@colinwalker7466]

Great video, great piece of kit and a nice bloke. Might have to look into getting a grinder/polisher myself. A few stand out putters for me over the years were the ping b60z and the metal ram zebra, but the best putter I’ve owned is my current odyssey white Damascus no.5 … simply stunning. Get one and you’ll see what I mean 😍

[@granfersteve3815]

Very interesting results for 30 minutes polishing. As a complete novice the only putters i've tried are my sons Ryder Z30 and the current MAXFLI Patriot that i got second hand which could probably do with some TLC and a new grip really. But certainly given me something to think about.

[@Adam12SD]

Picking up a Ping Anser 4 tomorrow for a song and will be refurbishing it as well. Great video!

[@MrChrissWilliams]

Great video Simon, I’m left handed but play right hand always been interested to try putting left handed 👍🏻 big love to Ryan 👏🏻

[@ryandavies8065]

Thanks Chris, appreciated 🙌🏻

[@agrizzlybrad]

Still using my Odyssey Dual Force 2 from my younger days. Been giving an old Rossie a go at the moment too

[@scottatkinson5576]

Love the result! That said, there is something equally satisfying about an aged Ping putter with natural patina coating... Best putter ever? A SeeMore Si2 that I got from what you call a job lot. We call it quite literally - a mixed bag ;)

[@chroniclesofnanner9543]

This putter is amazing and a lefty as well 😍 I have a sweet spot for older ping putters

[@arthurhunt1796]

Good refurb...My first love putter was a Condor Marksman Balata. Had a really soft insert

[@banditbaker1675]

My bestest Putter ever, ever, was an old PING B60, it was a Birdy machine. But in a moment of weakness I gave it to one of my Sons and despite numerous hints & veiled threats it's still in his Bag!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@MonsterGamerz777]

I used a lot of putters over the years.. my current favourite is Benock Kumbhira tour putter that I bought from Japan..

[@nathancutajar6887]

This is awesome, I think these videos are good to see just to help clean up current/ a few-year-old clubs, keep them shiny. I have only played with a deep red Willson putter so would have to say that.

[@LeeKer11]

After the 1200 grit you can use an abrasive polishing compound to get an even better finish. Autosol is an old tried and tested product.

[@jimmydelrio8662]

Best putter I have owned and still own is my Ping Zing Redwood. I had just started the game when this putter came out, did not have a lot of money and I treated myself for my birthday, bought it at a second hand store. I thought 100 dollars for a gold club was way to much. I treasure it till this day.

[@davidburton1368]

Nice to see thebputter saved from the tip. Favorite putter...Taylormade Spide..

[@rossblandford6228]

Would love the putter, I’m a lefty myself and just have my girlfriends dads hand me down putter at the moment as fortunately he is left handed too but one of my own would be nice :) nicest one I’ve ever used is a TaylorMade spider in the American golf shop

[@Barney29508]

Depending on the state of the greens, my Wilson 8802 (mint condition), but I have a shed full that have worked in the past and I won't get rid of them because I know I can go back to them. I have also a Ping B90 Broomhandle and a Scotty Cameron Studio Broomhandle, both which are effectively banned thanks to the overbearing USGA and R&A. Neither of these performed anywhere significantly better than the conventional putters, they were just different and a nice change to use.

[@reviewerofstuff976]

The Ping Pal! Best putter I've ever played with!

[@BucketListGolf]

I love my Evnroll. I found it used for $50. I’m not sure how used it was. It still had the retail stickers on it. Great video! Keep them coming.

[@bigfraz23]

Best party I’ve ever used is a Scotty Cameron Newport special select 2 Love the videos and keep up the good work sir

[@nathangrimes11]

Best putter I’ve used was a Scotty Cameron Monterrey or maybe the Edel E1. Left handed as well!

[@davidhoyle3297]

Currently using an odessy oworks 7. So soft and buttery, love it

[@torreyrufus1795]

Best putter I ever had was a Nike Oz putter ..... made so so many putts with it ....Won a lot of 4 man scrabbles with that putter .... Till my son thought it was a toy ....still looking for it's permanent replacement

[@moyhennabuchanan1076]

Hi, Simon. Top episode, thank you, and hot-on-the-heels of my own heart having just bought a vintage Ping Kushin (a la that trialled by Jack Nicklaus) to be able to partner the missus and her new Ping 2023 Prime Tyne 4 which is easily the best (easiest to pot) putter I've ever used. Your PAL looks like a gold bar from Kelly's Heroes / Italian Job but I thought the idea was to keep the patina to prevent dazzling.... but, perhaps, that's not a problem in good old Blighty? Cheers from Oz

[@johnnewman7605]

Well done Ryan. Best putter my current one obviously 🤣

[@ryandavies8065]

Appreciated John, thanks

[@ryanjohnston1478]

Hi Simon love the videos. The best putter I’ve ever owned is my Ping Pal 5 BeCu. It’s a beautiful putter with beautiful patina. I got a KBS CT Tour putter shaft in it now with a Gripmaster leather wrap grip. It’s awesome. I’ve also got an old Ping Pal like this one in left handed that I started restoring too.

[@danc2014]

Be cu need special care if you want to refurbish the club. It can become toxic .

[@cliffpowers3281]

Odyssey 2-ball lefty. I used mine for the last 10 years!

[@1960tiffany]

Best putter I've used is the one now - Cleveland Slotline. I've got an old Ping I might have to try this out on.

[@johnmona9164]

I would love a left handed putter for my daughter. My best putter is a Taylormade spider. I really like it.

[@mikeowen6445]

slazenger left or right handed brass putter, found in in the car park at a mini putt place 42 years ago, still slotting em.

[@RossLawrie]

I've not had many putters but I'm currently using a Mizuno Bertinardi C01 that my uncle gave me. seems to be working well. Not as shiny as that Ping you've buffed up though!

[@kevinsharp9376]

Would love to try the ping putter. Best putter I've ever had is an Odyssey putter.

[@jrc480]

I have an old Ping Ally 1 Isopure. I love it.

[@KrunkStack]

My favorite putter ever is an old 2 ball I picked up used out of our local pro shop.

[@lewisbates3932]

My Seemore putter after watching your video a while back! centre shaft beauty!

[@gregordavidson2741]

Gorgeous putters. Best so far for me is the Odyssey white hot range, thenfeel takes some beating

[@jonathansmith1547]

These look amazing... had a blade putter which I couldn't get on with it was an old ram putter... wanted a mallet on the cheap and being left handed it was nearly impossible to find until one came up on ebay which has really helped... think it's a go C4 mallet with a massive grip which helped even more

[@mikelewis959]

Best putter I’ve ever used is pretty much the only putter I’ve used… Cleveland Huntington Beach. Only club I’ve ever bought new, but I like it.

[@joshuacheal974]

Only just started so only used one putter. Odyssey white hot #7. It’s great but I’d love to try a bladed putter

[@VegBazzoBoys]

I’ve often thought you should get a bench grinder. I regularly use mine to keep my clubs looking good.

[@jamesrogers5024]

Great video Si. I’m currently using a TaylorMade Spider, but I am a Ping player, would love that in my bad. Keep up the great work!

[@nevillehubbard7347]

Ryan is a genius!!! What a great video Simon. Fascinating stuff that I'm useless at but I find enthralling!!! No thanks, I don't want to win a left handed putter as I'm right handed, but, for the record, my favourite putter is the Scotty 5.5 Flowback that I currently game! I've had a host of putters down the years but my other preference is a Ping Shea H (I like toe-hang, as you can tell!). Keep making such great, interesting and different content as, as it's unique (in UK at least), that's what holds my interest.

[@ryandavies8065]

Wouldn't quite say genius, but I'll take that!!

[@sausagembape677]

All the Ping putters I bought at the carboot over the years I cleaned with Ketchup, put the head in a bag of ketchup over night

[@Rickyfyied]

I gotta get some clubs cleaned! So beautiful! I currently use a Cleveland putter.

[@CJD666]

Best putter I've used is my Ping Pal 2 that I bought around mid 1980's when I first started playing Golf I also have a Ping Anser that belonged to my ex father in law which he had from the late 1960's. I have not found anything better.

[@jacobharrison842]

First time I've ever seen a lefty giveaway! The best putter I've used is my Odyssey stroke lab double-wide putter, great vid as always Simon👍

[@gavinwilson8774]

Taylormade corza Ghost still the best I tried and I still play it, although sadly as seen in your previous videos that white paint chips alarmingly easily.

[@MrAnders1000]

Really nice video My favorit putter is my putter i use now and have for over 20 years. Tumba line blade putter It's so old the brand has gone bankrupt but if it ain't broken don't fix it.

[@ianbutch1]

Best putter I have used is the SC Del Mar California - Great video

[@mattcoulson1560]

Please beware: doing polishing / abrasive works to anything made from aluminium, beryllium copper or beryllium nickel can be hazardous due to the materials so please don't attempt such works unless you're trained / have experience and have the relevant PPE etc. I'm not sure if this was mentioned in the video (if it was, I missed it - sorry). Nice job of the PAL putter in the video - the old Ping putters are timeless! Cheers

[@jalalalap-akalala]

What's the risks?

[@mattcoulson1560]

@@jalalalap-akalala Beryllium can cause cancer, pheumonia, bronchitis, etc. Ping stopped production / works of anything containging Beryllium once the hazardous nature became apparent. Aluminium dust / particles can result in respiratory issues, and there's not really any sort of metal dust / particles which are good for you to inhale etc. Best thing is to know what you're working with and do your homework - data sheets are widely available for different materials and usually advise PPE requirements. For the sake of a Google search it's worth it. Also be mindful of the working space (i.e. is anyone else within the same space or likely to use it / be there during or after carrying out any works) as inevitably dust / particles can linger. It can be fun to work on golf equipment, although I wouldn't wish for anyone to suffer ill health - hence the friendly advice.

[@graemetaylor4149]

Matt, good point well made. Glad someone has highlighted the dangers of polishing. BeCu is in the highest category of carcinogen and manganese bronze which most Ping putters are made from is only one category lower. Nasty stuff! I know lots of people do like to see these shined up but Ping actually developed a tumbling process precisely to create a matt and not shiny finish. I am in the camp that likes the deep patina that develops over time.

[@mattcoulson1560]

Thanks Graeme - I can understand the temptation to spend £50 on some equipment and have a go at what's shown in the video - I just want people to be aware of the consequences and if they are going to do it, to do so in a safe manner. The matte finish is logical - not only is it less intensive for large-scale production; it reduces any glare at address. While I understand the appeal of a polished putter; I agree that it doesn't beat a good patina!

[@chuckgauthier2374]

Well done Simon! Scotty Cameron Pro Platinum Newport 2 for me! 😎

[@yoojinkim6017]

Nice Video Simon! I've actually got a few old ones that needs to be refurbished lol Wonder if a wooden putter could be refurnished in that way as well.

[@scatterbrain9490]

Ping Eye B52 patent pending was my favorite putter

[@deejay415]

I play with another guy who is a lefty and I would give him the Ping. My fav putter is a John Letters Dai Rees Blade. Well done guys. Dee from Oz.

[@peteriles9957]

Another great video, everyone will now be scouring the secondhand and charity shops , always interesting with you Simon never know where we’re going next on golfs journey , my best putters have always been Odyssey 2 ball putters because I’ve always liked a centre balance one …

[@dmonaghan99]

Great video as always. Ping zing 2 my fave ever putter
