Quick Restore/Refresh of Titleist 735CMs

[AlohaJaloha]

I'll be sending these heads into one of two restorers on the mainland, but for now, I wanted to do a quick refresh of one of my sets.

 

I'll be reshafting and utilizing some BB&F Co ferulles, so ignore soaking heads past ferulle seam.

 

- Placed heads in Coca Cola for about 12 hours

- Removed and used standard Scotch Brite pad to remove loosened rust and additional debri

- Quick, no compound, polish

 

Happy with the result and hope this helps others who may consider the same.

Mahalo,

One of these on a bench grinder will transform those heads.  Before starting, use sandpaper cloth with a wood paint mixing stick to sand out the scratches.  Start with 100 and finish with 220 before using the wheel.  Final touch, mask the face, and bead blast.  There should be someone there that could do that for you.  Just do all the masking for them, it only takes 2 minutes per head to blast the face, and maybe the cavity. The Ping's shown below looked worse than your head's before the work started.

Thanks dude!  Was the purpose of the sandpaper cloth and wood mix stick to help get sandpaper into the deep dings/cuts to smooth out those edges?  Did you use a groove tool to spruce up grooves?  Lastly, did you do any sort of buffing/polishing after the scotchbrite wheel?

I'll be taking these heads to the next level with this insight you've provided.

 

Mahalo.
