chiromikey Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 first off, happy thanksgiving guys! so i picked up a used driver a short while back that had an unsightly sky mark from it's previous owner. it always bugged me and my playing partner kept telling me to let him refinish it...but i was having too much fun playing it. when my shaft broke recently, he finally took the head and i gave him permission to do whatever he wanted. this might be too busy for most of the traditionalists but it's actually ghosted and therefor fairly subtle and very clean so it's really growing on me. and with the wild colors schemes that the u.s. oems are about to release next season, this will look pretty passive in a few months. anyways, let me know what you think (good or bad)...

gocchin Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 I like it! The top crown is very nice, the edges where it meets the satin sole is a bit rough but the design is cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdGolf Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 Would be interesting to see how well the paint hold up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chiromikey Posted November 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 thanks guys. i actually had no idea what he could do until getting my head back and finally checking out his website. he ran a custom motorcycle paint shop before branching out into this so i should have known the talent was there. vincent, yes...you can check out his website at http://www.customgolfclubpainting.com/ tell him i sent you. he'll probably charge you more for knowing me but it's worth the risk...just tell him i said i'd let him beat me our next round if he hooks you up! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiromikey Posted November 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 Would be interesting to see how well the paint hold up? nothing will hold up to a sky ball off the crown but this is automotive finish so it should hold up as well as any factory paint job. he painted my motorcycle about 8yrs ago and i've put that through more than any properly maintained golf club will ever see and it still looks great! i'll post an update in a few months just to be sure.

Miuramaniac Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 I like it. It's so busy as not to be distracting. I especially like those curved gold lines on top. Do agree though that the seam on the bottom could have been cleaner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gocchin Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 ah a motorcycle shop... I see. the paint will definitely hold up as they usually paint gas tanks and helmets like that which are exposed to the elements, Michael did the paint job add weight to the head? I would assume it would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would assume it would. i'd assume most of the original clear/paint gets stripped away in prep but i don't know how much overall added weight (if any) there is. i didn't think to weigh pre paint but it weighed in at 202g after. i'll ask him to check on that and let you know. on that note, how do i check the weight of the removable weights currently in the head...and can i buy heavier replacements?

Ian-500 Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 I think the crown without the Dragons head and the writing would look fantastic. The rest of the design is great and I love the colours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chiromikey Posted November 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 reapl, that's pretty cool! it's hard to really capture certain details but i wanted to add a couple of pics, with one showing the boarder. looking at it in person it's very clean but the first pic does make the edges look a little rough so hopefully this shows how sharp it actually is. i think there may even be some sort of compound left on the sole in the first pic which adds to the appearance that you guys noticed.

RIduffer Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 Looks great… These latter pictures pick up the shimmer in the paint job. That really adds to the effect... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xerobound Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 Oh. I love it! I'm interested to see if that changed the feel of the club at all. Ofcourse looking good = feeling good... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
