Former Owner

So...I'm the former owner of Kenny Giannini Putters LLC.  My name is Tim Mooney and if you got a putter at the AT&T, you got it from me.  I don't stay in touch with Kenny...thank God.  Being the sole owner of the company, dealing with Kenny and a couple of my investors, put me in the hospital.  I hear now he is advertising 'hand made' custom putters...I will tell you that 'hand made' is a stretch to say the least.  A company near Carlsbad, CA was our CNC milling company.  Kenny would draw something on a piece of paper or a napkin and leave it up to our milling company to produce it.  He does have a knack for looking at a putter and making adjustments as far as weight distribution... and the 'performance' slot in the bottom of the putters we used to produce is no joke.  It provides a larger sweet spot than most putters.  But...custom?  hand made?  Those are two tricks to drive the price up...we got $300 retail for the G1-G7...the putters were definitely worth the retail price then, IMO.  But adding or subtracting a couple of grams and hand-stamping TOUR or PROTOTYPE on the back of a putter, that greatly resembles many other putters on the market, makes NOT a custom nor handmade putter.  I never used those words in our marketing efforts.  They were simply, IMO, REALLY good putters.
