Thanks Patrick I plan on doing a simple restore at home (work has started as you can see), plan is to gun blue the head and repaint (probably to the original colour scheme) and a new grip. I shall update with progress!

So an update and question... I have managed to remove all the paint (acetone and toothpicks) and the head is now looking nice and clean. As you can see I have some pitting on the top towards the rear of the head, I was thinking sanding starting at around 400grit working up until smooth? Is this...

I shall steal some of the wifes nail varnish remover then! Haha drive4show - someone must have loved it to buy it brand new... I'm not sure on it looks wise, I like that its different - ultimately I shall restore it and use it (at £45 what have I to loose), if it helps me hole putts who cares...

OK so I am confident that the putter is not plated - I just gave it a quick degrease and very very fast scrub with wire wool and Metal Prep (POR15 rust remover/metal preparation liquid for automotive) It appears that the putter has Bluing (or at least did) - see below pics: Before: After...

Pics would be awesome RustyTom! Sadly the sticker on the shaft is very worn so cannot tell - any other clues to knowing if it is plated or not?

Well, I ended up buying it - £45 which I don't think is too bad at all. I plan to have a go at restoring it myself - any tips RustyTom? Link to pictures of the flat stick: http://s288.photobucket.com/user/colinwatling/library/Scotty%20Cameron What do you think? How do I begin (my first...

Hello, i have seen a secondhand Circa 62 # 5 head has surface rust in places shaft is great grip has been replaced and needs replacing again headcover present and in good condition (but dirty) it's a very attractive putter and is up for £59 thoughts? Can't seem to find any info on value...

Thanks Fox, that sounds like one to try...now to find a clean golf towel before the range tonight

Thanks Region, on looking at my video I do go quite a way back which seems to encourage a head lift - I shall try shortening it. ultimately the lesson with my pro will help, but it's good to go in forearmed :)

Thanks Ruff, I shall give it a look

That is superb, you don't know how many videos and docs I have seen read that don't summarise it as simple as that - I love laymens terms! So what I need to do is reduce my out to in path which will reduce the amount of side spin generated therefore making the flight straighter! i shall try...

Thanks Fox/Matty Yes the ball tends to start straight then fade - the longer the club the more extreme (more speed and distance enhances the issue which isn't a surprise) The reason I have the video is to show my pro at my lesson so hoping that will help, be nice to have a few things to try...

Hey, thanks for your reply! I don't currently have a handicap, only started playing early September with some hand me down clubs (recently got fitted for some irons which made my strike far more consistent) I appreciate your comment on my swing - has come along way over the last 6months and...

Hello, I'm new to golf, been playing for about 6 months, had 7 lessons with a local pro and due to start another 6 end of the week. I've been lurking for the past few months but just registered so hoping for some insight. I am hitting the ball right, consistently! I got a friend to record a...
