Actually I did leave out that you need to plan carefully where you want the imprint letters or numbers. It requires drawing a guide line with a fine sharpie and practice with spacing. Don't do this and you get the "jump all over" imprints on old Titlist putters (I never liked those imprints). If you do it your way you may lose some helpers :>)

I have a set of Miuras going in for loft lie check and I was going to whack and paint fill some initials into them before they go, but wanted to get some advice from here before I went too wild. Any input you all have would be great. Thanks! Steve
