I remember running across a used Ping Eye2 BeCu SW at a shop in NJ. The grooves were just about non-existent. Instead of straight, horizontal lines, picture the grooves looking a little like a bell curve, where the curve faded quite a bit at the peak.
Since Ping stopped manufacuring BeCu and BeNi clubs (correct me if I'm wrong here! I'd love to be wrong, actually), will they still work on them? Does the technique described below change in any way if you work on a metal like BeCu or BeNi? Thanks for reading!
