Scotty Cameron Newport Mid Slant Putter Refurb/Sanding

[Jack745]

Hi Guys,

After some advice if possible please… I just got myself a Scotty Cameron Newport Mid-slant putter. 2009 I believe, I’m fairly happy with the condition of it, looked slightly less scratched in the photos!

Still great condition for its age

I was wondering if I would just be able to go over it with some fine sand paper? Wet sanding?

There’s not really any dents or dings, would just be to remove some of the scratches. I wouldn’t do anything with the milled face

I paid £175 for it so not really a project putter, don’t want to mess it up

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks, Jack

This was definitely a "know your lane and stay in it" thread hah

Assuming you'll be doing this by hand, you'd be better off with some ScotchBrite pads. 800 grit and above should smooth out the scratches, without much in the way of material removal. Sand paper is fine, but AO and zirconia abrasives are really for grinding (read: getting the nicks and dents out, and shaping)


Whatever you do, be sure that the medium you choose is larger than the surface you're working on - don't get tempted to use a small bit on dremel, for example. You want nice, even strokes.
Don't be afraid to put some elbow grease into it.

Just don’t go full pimp. Looks like somebody ham fisted the weights. Personally I’d work my way through fine grit with the sandpaper on a soft backing.

That’s great, thank you!

Worked a treat! Thanks guys

I’ve removed the paint out of the circles as someone did a pretty rough job.

Think I’m gonna leave it as it is!

Did you just do the scotch bright?

Yup, just a couple of 800 grit scotch brite pads. I did one dry and then followed with one wet. Not sure if this is right but it turned out ok! Didn’t take long at all

 

[Bosco...]

Good deal! Might give that a try.

That is a pristine putter my friend! I am envious as I have been searching for that version! Love it!
