The customisation thread

[Shane788]

Yeah Hervey Bay is, it's looking mint, since we've been getting a few showers a week it's so green and lush, it couldn't be better plus the champs start in 2 weeks so its going to be awesome.

[Shane788]

Spare set mp 60s done and 588 wedges as well they turned out mint, bad picture in the garage ill take one tomorrow with better lighting. Thanks

Very cool, nice work!

I've got a flat black shaft sitting spare in the garage ATM. Had it for one if the select scotty sticks but it looked a little too 'murdered out'. Maybe I'll put it back on at some point.

[Shane788]

I couldn't believe the difference it made at address, like benno said so much more focus on ball and alignment. It's a really cool product all you have to do to remove is make a cut and peel it off, I painted on garage floor and once I was done I just peeled it off and it was back to concrete, great stuff.

Gonna start off small tomorrow customizing, Nail varnish do the job ? and would i need to put a clear coat on the top ? Stuck at the caravan park for a day and need something to do

I'd love to do it to a set of irons too, but I reckon I don't have them game to turn up looking like a stealth bomber. It's a shame, because if there is one thing I hate in golf it is polished chrome.

I reckon I might try get in on the Tuesday comp in a fortnight at HB, I reckon that should be schmicked up nicely for the comps.

Go Tamiya paints rather than nail polish.
About $4 a bottle from a toy/craft shop.

[Geordie-Lee]

A few older raw Vokeys arrived for me today...I'll give paintfill some thought and chronicle what will most likely be a slow, painstaking progress.

First thing will be to take to them with some fine grade steel wool and vinegar to get the rust off, clean the grooves out a little, then go from there.

[backintheswing]

You anywhere near Mackay? I am having a hit tomorrow,

[Geordie-Lee]

Looking forward to seeing them Kristian, thats if you put them on here. You talking to Kristian backintheswing?

I doubt he is...I live nowhere near Mackay and have done business with BITS before, so he knows I'm not from his area.

[Geordie-Lee]

Would love to mate but heading up to port douglas tomorrow to see some family. On the way back down the coast will defo have a round like. It's been too long!!!

[Shane788]

Has anyone had a crack at making there own headcovers? I thought I'd give it a go this arvo as I finished work early . I bought a couple plush toy 'bombs' off the bay for $5 posted from china and they arrived yesterday, so today I unstitched the bottom and removed 75% of the stuffing. Placed inside a couple old headcovers I had, stitched up the bottom around the sock and they were done, there for my 3 and 5 wood, there the super mario bombs I got 1 black and 1 red and I was surprised that they looked pretty good especially with my black white red titleist bag, will probably end up going back to the titleist covers but a bit of fun for an hours work and you could do this with any plush toy you could find. Ill post pics tomorrow. Thanks

[Shane788]

Just went down stairs and took a pic tell me what you think, I'm still thinking about what to get for the driver. The original reason I got the bombs was because I was going to make one for a 13* 3 deep so I thought the bomb was relevant but haven't got the 3 deep yet so this will do, never been a fan of novelty head covers but ill give them a try, at least they only cost $5.

[timah!]

They're kinda cool Shane!
