Pro Platinum is a great maintenance-free finish.

I use a Dremel-type tool to get in those areas.

The putter is coming along great scotty

Out of interest what sort of tool do you use to polish the finer parts of the putter like the cavity when the wheel is too large?

Quite amazing. My buddy and I had a putter redone last winter. The work was so incredibly good that we were convinced that you swapped our putters for another new putter. These photos put that argument to rest once and for all. Once the season ends, my circa 62 no 2 is on its way. What finish do you recommend for minimal rust as I was contemplating a pro platinum finish on my circa 62?

Hi Eddie,

We’ll lose 2 grams or less, which equates to 1 swingweight point. And, although one “could” add tungsten, not in this one. Thanks for the questions.

All the best,
Scotty

Scotty:

Thanks for the newest set of pics as this Santa Fe gets the full “spa treatment”. It is wonderful to see that these old beauties can be restored…like new.

Do you have an estimate on how much weight this Santa Fe head will lose with all of the grinding?

Could tungsten weights be added to the sole to bump up the weight of this head?

Regards,
Eddie

Scotty – Love to see the additional pics of the putter restoration. I am looking forward to the removal of the insert and pics of the rest of the process. Keep them coming.

Scotty-san.

Thank you for blog update.

I imagined the remake of Santa Fe.

I was the same as the thought that I imagined so far.

Santa Fe studies hard and it is a few, but thinks that I lose weight.

I expect it for the transformation of Santa Fe from now on.

I will do a request to bury tungsten because I like heavy putters.

I look forward to Scotty-san blog .

Thank you!

This TeI3 Santa Fe is really taking shape! This putter is already in better condition than the first pictures from yesterday’s slide show. I have to say that Scotty’s grinding is a pleasure to see. Thanks for sharing the pictures for the work in progress.
