I have had the Black Carbon for around 6 months and it's an excellent putter; unfussy looks at address with a brilliant black finish. This is where my problems lies.
The black finish is what led me to the purchase, I love deep black clubs as well as everything else! Currently I have a deep black watch and phone, I can't help myself! The finish on the club is beginning to wear and rub off. I have no idea what could be causing it apart from the obvious, playing and cleaning. The cavity of the club is fine but the face and the sole of the club are starting to show the bare metal underneath. I'll attach some pictures so you can see what I mean.
I would like to know if this is normal, does the finish on these putters usually wear off? Would it be a good idea to send it off for refinishing?
And before I go, what is the best way to clean the grip? With the putter grip mingling with the iron and wood grips in the bag it has coloured the bright yellow of the Winn grip with a dirty black. I was thinking about using window cleaner but I doubt that will remove the black.
