Sent an old beat up Newport Beach down to Kari a while back to bring back to life!
She was pretty banged up and original specs where all over the place.
Kari re-did all the specs back to standard, re-milled the face and added a sight dot and line on the flange on the putter's sweatspot!
Ill be shafting her up with the UST Frequency Filtered Putter Shaft, matching Orange SC grip, and orange shaftband.Here are the pic's, enjoy:

What's something like that cost to be redone? Have a old ping I would love to do something like that with.

As do I Jaybam, never really thought about it.

Kari is a member of the same course as myself, might ask him next time I see him on the practice green

Kari recently did a Newport for me and it came up an absolute treat.

Cost was $70

Moe,
That seems very reasonable for the right putter, not sure the $51 I paid for my Anser 2 warrants that sort of investment

Yes you did :D

I am in Sydney at the moment but have received notification from the mailroom that there is a package there for me. So I think that must be it. I will be back in Melbourne on Monday so will do the pick-up.

I am good friends with Kari now! He has worked on my Caliente and built my 8802 replica.

I paid $100 for the Scotty and it was banged up pretty bad.

You should have told me, could have delivered it to you!

Next time I am coming up I will try to have more notice and maybe I can organise a game of golf?

I haven't played near the airport and I can probably do a Friday (afternoon is probably easiest but can change the schedule to match whatever). I will let you know next time I am coming up here.

I've had 3 or 4 done by Kari now, all come up excellent. I got the black plating on my gamer and its starting to wear a little after a LOT of use.... any tips on how to keep it from doing so?

If he could remove "courty" then I might get more than $20 for it.

I'm sure that Kari could re-mill the face for you
