Had no idea the holes were relief for the adhesive. I thought it was paint. Thanks for showing.
Also possibly for soft feeling and sound tuning
A little about this putter, probably made after 1998 because Robert Bettinardi and Cameron split ways by then. The earlier version of this putter were milled so precise by Bettinardi that the insert did no show any white silicone on the face. So if you have an earlier version,( highly collectible), made by Bettinardi, Do not try this! You’ll never get the insert back in unless you heat the putter head and put the insert in liquid nitrogen. Also when you grind a putter like this you’re killing the precision weight of the club so it’s best to leave the original patina in place and just treat the rust with a natural oil.
I've done hundreds of restores. I understand your concerns, but I do what the customers wants for their putters, and I have never received any type of quality complaints. This particular putter the customer reached out much later to thank me again. I appreciate that very much, and it turned out great.
This Master Craftsman has Brought this Classic Scotty Cameron Newport 2 TeI3 back to LIFE,,,,Thanks for the care and Patience.
Thanks so much!
The Gold lettering with the white fill and silicone makes this Black cerakote finish POP, I am truly impressed
The top line came out pretty darn good! I always like the look when you get done bead blasting... Awesome work!!!
Thank you!
Absolutely remarkable Corey! Great work brother! My all time favorite putter!
Thanks a lot!
Craziest transformation yet! awesome job!!!
Thanks!
I got the same one but want mine in Nickel finish!!! 🔥🔥🙌🏽
I hand sanded mine to decent shape. Great inspiration video!!!
Very nice job. I never knew the face on those old models were mounted into silicone. I always thought those white dots on the back were cut outs with paint fill to distribute weight out to the heel and toe.
I’m blown away at how beat up a nice putter like that gets! Looks brand new now! Great work!
Thank you!
Yea that is extremely beat up. Mine doesn't look brand new by no means but it isn't all pitted up like that it's just dull and the color on the lettering is starting to disappear from wear and stuff and the insert isn't shiny like it should be it's full now but it's still my favorite putter I have been using it for years and years and years and I feel like it's broken like I have used a new Scotty Cameron Newport 2 tei that's in mint condition and never been played with and it felt different idk if it was because it wasn't mine and it was mental or if I really could feel a difference. Glad he did this now my Scotty Cameron is shinning bright like a diamond and brand new looking again, airplanes and traveling is rough on a set of clubs as well even if you have head covers on you know you don't always put them back on after each shot and just leave them off and they get banged around in golf cart off each other as well causes alot of wear over time.
Wow, that turned out awesome!
Thank you!
Absolutely obsessed with your channel and the restoration process! Will definitely be asking you some questions before I give it a try on my old beat up studio select newport 2.7
Ask away!
@@Jbell047 Check my description. All my tools and materials used are listed there!
One of my favorite channels on CZcams! Makes me wanna find a old scotty putter and send it to you.
That means a lot, thanks so much! And anytime, shoot me an email if you want something done.
Nice work. I have one I just dug out to refinish
Wow. Just wow.👏👏
Incredible job
Thanks!
I used to own one of these putters. The gun metal finish is definitely difficult to maintain. Your restoration is well done with some subtle custom touches. I regret selling it off, but oh well. Looks great!!!
Thank you! Was a little nervous working on it because of the heavy damage on the topline but in the end turn out great!
The rust on the gunmetal finish used to drive me crazy. I found a guy that powder coated the head and repainted it with stock colors. No rust since then and it's my favorite putter for over 20 years now
Wow, this is the great restoring Tel3
Thank you! It was my first one and was a little nervous but. Learned a lot!
Good job.
Great work! Not the original finish but will be a lot more durable with how you finished it.
Thank you. I totally get it. Swaying from the original finish on a classic like this but I'll tell you what, black oxide finishes are just not ideal. Doesn't matter how well you take care of it, if you're gaming it, eventually it will rust. Cerakote 100% prevents that, and your putter will last forever as long as you use a headcover. 😉
This turned out absolutely stunning! Really like that gold fill you did, nice touch. Is cerakote generally pretty easy to use if you have the right spray equipment? I know a lot of the finished product is mostly due to the time you take in cleaning everything up, but I thought about using it for my putter refurb but for some reason it feels a bit intimidating.
It takes some practice to spray properly. But it's not bad. That and practicing your transfer from paint to bake is a must.
On another channel, the guy weighed the head before and after and there was 7 grams of weight removed from the head in the grinding process. Others doing a similar restoration may wish to consider adding some head weight to the putter shaft hosel to compensate for this difference and to restore the original swingweight of the putter.
😂 Listen, you're no where near good enough to notice the difference in a few grams. I guarantee that. 10-15...maybe
I've Weighed multiple restores I've done. From ones that needed very little work to some that were pretty bad. I've never lost more than 5 grams. Most are around 3.
@@shmirginhymer1867 hey wise-n-heimer. It's irrelevant what you or I can actually feel in our hands. What's relevant when performing a legit restoration is caring about the details. It's VERY easy to weigh the clubhead and compensate for weightloss to retain the original swingweight of the golf club, especially if you're restoring a $400 or $500 Scotty. This terylium that was restored in the video are going for $500 to $700 on ebay.
That said, two grams changes a club one swingweight point. 10 to 15 grams would change a clubs swingweight a full 5 to 7 points. I've played scratch for 30 years and now that I'm 65, I've gone up to a 3...I 100% guarantee you if my clubs went from D1 to D8 I would know in one or two swings. The putter's swingweight is even more important to the feel of the club and I would absolutely want 1 or 2 swingweight points retained in my putterhead, especially if I cared enough to restore a Scotty back to as-new condition.
I'm glad you slowed down the grinding part. I'm having a hell of a time getting into some of those grooves because the neck keeps wacking the grinder shaft or nut.😂 Another killer job man, I had no idea that stuff was silicone. I thought it was paint dots...
Yes definitely have to find innovative ways to manipulate the heads to grind them. I recently found new 8" wheels that work really well so its much easier.
@iGolf906 When you get the chance send me the link to them. I'm always down with making things easier. 😉
@@kall3467 can't give away my trade secrets.... don't want them going out of stock! I only have 6 more on order!!!! 🤣🤣 I'll update my tools and materials list and shoot you a link shortly. If not tmrw.
@iGolf906 No worries man, whenever you get the chance. I'm broke at the moment anyway, I just bought a set of cobra irons and my wife ain't happy. 🤣 Also remind me if I ever pick up one of those scotty's you just did in this video to send it to you. That gooey mess would frustate the hell out of me.😆
@@kall3467 amzn.to/3LWMgVs Here you go. These things are not only cheap, but, they work! They may not last AS long as a 3M or whatever other name brand, but the cost alone outweighs the durability. They have them in all different grits and hardness
Really surprised by how thin the top line between the insert is , not much to play with there . Job well done ❤
Oh for sure! And that was factory. Sometimes you see some Restores and there's barely any left!
Who let’s that putter get like that!!😢😢😢.
Great job saving it!!
Thanks
Wow, another great restoration. I was just wondering where you find all your putters you do.
People send them in for restoration. Also I do some for myself for my own personal gamers.
Awesome
Thanks!
Scotty himself would be in awe
I don't know about that one! But thanks so much!
Awesome video! I have the same sandblasting cabinet as you, what is the aluminum for in your cabinet? Does it help with performance or something? I’m new to this space so sorry if it’s a dumb question!
It's Aluminum tape. I put it there so the media doesn't get stuck in all the crevices. As we know this cabinet wasn't designed the best so changing media was just a hassle. This made it a bit easier.
Corey, I have the exact putter and sent it away to a shop in California last year yet the pitting has returned on the gun metal finish. Thinking cerakote is the way to go this time. How much do you charge to do this?
Would love to help you out. But unfortunately right now, im not accepting any putters until end of Fall this year. Check back here on my YT when I announce when I'm accepting again
Thanks!
Thank you so much!
A little care package with Tees and Stickers are on the way! 😎
I have a squareback 2 that needs refurbished. What kind of price tag went into that outstanding work?
Costs range quite a bit depending on the work needed. Shoot me an email and some pics of your putter, Igolf906@gmail.com and I can get you a quote.
Came out great for what you had to start with. rough idea of total time invested?
Honestly I've been super busy with restores I don't really pay attention. Lol. Especially when I film a video on one it adds a ton of time. A few hours for sure. I'll have to actually time a standard restore one of these days and see!
Unreal
Thanks
Thanks for posting, but I question your choosing to paint the putter black rather than restoring it to the gunmetal finish as in the original. I know it's harder to maintain but the gun metal finish is one of it's features that attracted me to buy mine in the first place.
Was requested by the customer. And in my opinion, I wouldn't want to purchase such a high end putter and worry about its finish constantly. So I understand why people get them cerakoted.
Amazing work 👏
Thank you!
Do you use acetone to clean off the access paint? Will it not remove the cerakote? Thanks
That's why cerakote is so popular. It is resistant to nearly every solvent once it's baked on.
Nice work. I have the same exact putter. It’s in need of restoration. Where are you located?
Not currently taking any new restores but keep an eye out on my YT page. I will be posting within the next few weeks when I'm ready to accept orders again.
So when you wipe off the excess pint after filing in the lettering, do you use rubbing alcohol or like mineral spirits?
Acetone. Mineral spirits would work, but would be too oily and may ruin the fresh fill.
@@igolf906 thank you much! Currently in the process of refinishing my odessy white hot blade putter 👍🏼
I’ve gotten one of these, i would love to get it restored, do you offer that service? How much will it be?
Shoot me an email.
How well does that black paint hold up over time? I have an old New Port II I'd love to do that to.
It's a baked on ceramic coating. Apart from Super expensive industrial type coatings, it's one of the most durable out there.
@@igolf906 Perfect, thanks.
How did you clean off the sillicone? Just water or acetone?
Very carefully with a paper towel and warm water.
What wheel are you using on the grinder?
A convolute wheel. Check my video descriptions for all the tools I use.
What did you use to unscrew the back of the face?
I use these amzn.to/3Qk6CIN
What proportions do you use for the cerakote color and activator?
All H Series Cerakote is 18:1. That's what I do unless someone is looking for a little more, or little less gloss. Flash times can be adjusted for that also but that's what I use.
When you blast what psi do you use for prepping the cerakote?
About 90 psi. Cerakote suggests between 80 & 100. Honestly if you're using the proper media the higher the psi the better to assure a nice even surface so any underlying scratches or other surface defects are covered up.
@@igolf906 amazing thanks for being so helpful
May I ask what the instrument you used is when you took the terillium plate out? It may be a kind of screw driver, however, what's the exact shape and name or number?
Don't remember the size off hand, not currently home. But they are Hex drivers. Here's a link to a set with all the sizes you'll ever need. Https://amzn.to/3MPriYm
@@igolf906 Thanks a lot, and one more question: have you used acetone when you made silicons soft enough to be removed and also erased the remnants of the silicon after painting?
@hjchoe6192 if the silicone is freshly applied, warm water is best for clean up. Otherwise acetone will work when cleaning it up.
With your help, I have put in several items in my Amazon shopping basket. Thank you so much. Now, I am wondering if there is a secure way to keep the original color of teryllium plate because it easily changes as time goes. Is it a way quenching the teryllium plate into the mixture of oils that you used? @@igolf906
I have loved your videos for some time, keep up the great work! I do have a tiny suggestion that might up the production value a little bit. in the intro, the complete silence always makes me think my headphones/speaker isnt working. maybe intro music or your logo with some intro music to begin the video might "legitimize" your videos and improve the viewing experience.
again, LOVE the videos, and want nothing but success for your, just some feedback
Thanks! I do have logos, intros outros and everything. Lol. Forgot to throw my logo on there but I feel intros and outros don't really add value to the video because according to my Analytics, everyone skips through them. I get what you're saying though. Maybe I'll think of something different. Like maybe a sound effect to get along with my logo coming in 🤔
@@igolf906 exactly, just a WOOSH or something
Not sure why you used a grinding wheel like that initially. Perhaps something less brutal would be safer and also more effective.
It's a deburring wheel.
How many coats do you apply with the cerakote
Only one coat is suggested for proper coverage but I've always wondered about coating, baking and then adding another thin layer and baking again for added durability. Not sure it would matter but something I could tinker with.
How much do you charge for this? I have a Laguna that needs restoring.
I'm currently not accepting any new orders until probably late Fall. But feel free to email me for more info.
What paint is best to use thanks
For the putter itself? Or the paintfill? Cerakote is used for coating. Tamiya and Testors paint is used for the fill.
Nice one! Can you also blowtorch this Model? 😅
A torched finish would be possible for these. The cerakote is great for preventing rust where as a torch finish on a carbon putter like this would require steady maintenance and oiling to prevent rust. None the less would look nice.
Hi. What is your secret to clean up the chalk? I think it is the most painful thing to do.
The chalk?
@@igolf906 i mean silicon? How do you get the overfill off so easy. Mine is allways so difficult to clean
@Saha1503 I scrape the excess off with a flat card, or piece of plastic, then use a damp paper towel to get it 75% cleaned up. This HAS to be done before the silicone starts solidifying. After that, it won't be perfect. But I wait for it to dry, then go over it with wet q tips. Either water or Acetone. And it cleans up quite well. I also paintfill each dot afterwards with white fill.
From the rust and pitting it seems this is carbon steel
It is yes
How much weight did the putter lose?
Any restore loses in the range of 3 to 5 grams. I've seen 8 once but that one was nearly too far gone.
Thanks very much@@igolf906 - I have a Tei3 Newport 2 with a few rust spots and trying to weigh the pros and cons of visual appeal vs losing the weight/balance of the putter.
@@whaleshark2625 a 4 or 6 gram lead weight into the hosel is all you'd need to restore the original swingweight depending on how much metal you remove in the restoration. Weigh the putter head on a cheap gram scale before and after to know how much lead weight you need to add to the hosel.
@@bullwinklemoose8291 very helpful! Thank you!
Why does that wheel look like it should remove a ton of material, but it’s not even changing the profile of the club from what I can tell
It's not a stone wheel. Its a convolute/deburring wheel.
How much does a resto like this cost?
Shoot me an email!
@@igolf906 I assume you're in the UK?
unfortunately can't see your e-mail address anywhere to do so
@@Lamster66 I'm in the US. My info is in the video description
@@igolf906 Darn that's not going to work then as I'm in the UK
Even if I removed the head the shipping will kill it as well as import taxes twice even though nothing is actually being imported. I doubt it would be economically viable to do that with your fee on top.
I have a lot of the tools needed to take all the dings and marks out of it, I don't have access to bead blasting and the equipment to ceracote. I'll have to think a bit more as sometimes original condition ( if not dreadful) is worth more than refurbished.
There are a few restore options in the UK I believe. Feel free to look them up! Im sure they do great work also!@@Lamster66
Awesome job by the way. Can you hit me up? I got a couple of questions. I tried doing a odyssey 2 ball and i got a couple of questions maybe you can answer for me. Thank you
Feel free to email me. Igolf906@gmail.com
I have the same putter. Can you please let me know if you’d be interested in restoring it for me?
Feel free to email me for details.

First one of your putters i was disappointed in. Not because of workmanship but because that putter,above any other, needed to be back to original. Proper shaft, proper grip, proper paint fill colors. Cerakote was OK as the factory finish wasnt real durable and still maintained the original look. Jmho. Great work, just a bit too "custom" for this iconic and rare of a putter.
I do what the customer wants. 🤷♂️
So the original is prone to rust right?
Could I pay you to do mine ?!?
Shoot me an email
Sad...you couldn't fix the word titlist ion the heel. Engrave deeper? I think it looks very unfinished and disappointing.
Understanding how bad of shape this putter was. The pitting was extremely deep. In order to get all the nicks and dings out, some of the stamping sometimes will get a little shallow. There's nothing you can do about it. Good thing the owner was extremely happy with how his putter turned out. Considering it was more than likely sitting in a garage somewhere for 20+ years.
Disappointing? 😅😅 So you would rather have it in its original shape? You obviously have no idea what you're talking about. Also, good luck finding someone to replicate the factory engraving. Not only would it not look right, it would cost $100s to get done.
How much to do mine? Just got one of these at a rummage sale but she’s in dire need of a facelift
Shoot me an email!
Do you sell these restored clubs somewhere? I’m interested if you have a online store or eBay store????
I don't have a store no. And I don't really sell clubs too often. These are all customer clubs sent in.
