Scotty refurb question

[Irish]

Hi guys,

Got my scotty studio design 1.5 and its great to putt with but in very used condition and want to get it refurbed over the winter...question i have is that the studio designs are in the black pearl finish and in an ideal world i'd rather a newport style steel finish on the putter...is this possible or will the studio just refurb the putter to its original finish

[ualtim]

Scotty will refinish a putter in its original finish or finish it in Pro Platinum for $30 more.

It somewhere near San Diego, CA. Kind of a secret location so Scotty does not get too many visitors. Putters are received at a different facility rather than his studio and then moved locally to the studio.

in the last week and a half i've bought a new putter, new irons and a new driver...the only thing I'm planning on buying in the states will be a load of prov1x's

will force myself into a strict no new club philosophy

Good luck with that

I got through about 5 months of the "no new club" thing before I broke down and fell off the wagon. Once a Ho always a Ho.

Scotty will not resto a blackpearl, he'll put the charcoal mist finish on a SD 1.5.

Shipping costs back over the big water from Scotty will be a killer. The way collectors handle that is to get a friend in the states to act as an intermediary.

Another alternative is to get it sent to Titleist over here by a Titleist dealer over there, you'll get a Titleist refinish not a Scotty restore (with all the options), but on a SD 1.5, that might get the same people to work on it for a lot less money (I think that'll work - but no guarantees.). If you do this, get clear info about mill marks, you don't want a smooth faced SD 1.5.

Other refinish options:

Tom Slighter
Kevin Colbert
BOS

I've not had any done by Slighter, but BOS for oilcan or gunblue/black oxide, and Kevin for pro-plat is a sure winner. They cost a lot less also. I don't think they'll do a black pearl finish either, and I don't know who does. If the steel needs work, the prep must be done before BOS gets it.

FYI, I think BOS does the finishes for lots of people. They used to do it for Scotty and may do it again (Oilcan), but it's an totally unsubstantiated rumor.
