jlukes 12,770 Posted April 4, 2018 Author Share Posted April 4, 2018 And I get things come up and this isn't his full time job. However, you need to communicate delays to customers and provide updated estimated completion dates. 1 Quote In my BR-D4 Stand Bag G410 LST 9* VA Nemesys 65X G410 LST 14.5* Tour AD DI 7X ZU85 18* Tour AD 95X 818 H2 20* Tour AD DI 85X MP20 HMB 4 Tour AD 95X JPX 919 Tour 5-9 Oban CT 115 X(-) Vokey SM7 46F - 54S - 59D ER2 Tour B X Link to post Share on other sites

Rickp 20,702 Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 He responded this evening that he should have the dlc batch tomorrow. Apparently he doesn't do the dlc himself. Still waiting for him to get me an ETA since Friday marks 8 weeks (originally told 3-4)He's not doing himself proud. Even if he's running behind he should be communicating this to the customer. Ignoring customers is not professional.

jlukes 12,770 Posted April 5, 2018 Author Share Posted April 5, 2018 Traded a lot of of messages with Kyle this morning and everything is good. He apologized for the what has gone on over the last month as his work and personal life have been extremely hectic. He shared some details and I completely understand.

RookieBlue7 1,677 Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Kyle has to get a full batch of putters for DLC ready to do a batch because it's not worth it otherwise. He's a good dude and he is also very busy. He has a lot of putters and I'm sure someone will get missed in communication occasionally. It happens. 1 Quote In The BagDriver: TaylorMade M2 (2017) w/ Project X T1100 HZRDUS Handcrafted 65x Strong 3 wood: Taylormade M1 15* w/ ProjectX T1100 HZRDUS handcrafted 75x3 Hybrid: Adams PRO 18* w/ KBS Tour Hybrid S flex tipped 1/2"4 Hybrid: Adams PRO 20* (bent to 21*) w/ KBS Tour Hybrid S flex tipped 1/2"4-AW: TaylorMade P770 w/ Dynamic Gold Tour Issue Black Onyx S400 SW: 56* Scratch Tour Dept(CC grooves) w/ Dynamic Gold SpinnerLW: 60* Scratch Tour Department (CC grooves) w/ Dynamic Gold SpinnerXW: 64* Cally XForged Vintage w/ DG X100 8 iron tiger steppedPutter: Nike Method Prototype 006 at 34"Have a ton of back-ups in all categories, but there are always 14 clubs in the bag that differ depending on the course and set-up.

They had an issue with delamination in their last batch so they had to make some adjustments to the formulation and are running everything through again because the batch wasn't up to his quality standards. His communication has been so much better over the last week or so. 1 Quote In my BR-D4 Stand Bag G410 LST 9* VA Nemesys 65X G410 LST 14.5* Tour AD DI 7X ZU85 18* Tour AD 95X 818 H2 20* Tour AD DI 85X MP20 HMB 4 Tour AD 95X JPX 919 Tour 5-9 Oban CT 115 X(-) Vokey SM7 46F - 54S - 59D ER2 Tour B X Link to post Share on other sites
jlukes 12,770 Posted April 18, 2018 Author Share Posted April 18, 2018 Another beautiful weekend coming up that I'll be without my putter. Will be 10 weeks on Friday since he's received it. Getting harder for me to make excuses for him, regardless of what's going on in his life that is affecting the amount of time he can spend refinishing putters. By the time I get my putter back it will be closer to 3 months than the 3-4 weeks I was told when I sent my putter. 3 Quote In my BR-D4 Stand Bag G410 LST 9* VA Nemesys 65X G410 LST 14.5* Tour AD DI 7X ZU85 18* Tour AD 95X 818 H2 20* Tour AD DI 85X MP20 HMB 4 Tour AD 95X JPX 919 Tour 5-9 Oban CT 115 X(-) Vokey SM7 46F - 54S - 59D ER2 Tour B X Link to post Share on other sites

jlukes 12,770 Posted April 19, 2018 Author Share Posted April 19, 2018 Quick update. He said it'll be free and he'll pay for express shipping back to me once he finishes it. Even though it's been a long wait I told him I still want to give him some compensation. He's got a lot going on outside this business and I just hope he learns how to balance his time after all of this. He does great work but sometimes you can't say yes to everyone or before you know it your supply of man hours can't keep up with demand. 6 Quote In my BR-D4 Stand Bag G410 LST 9* VA Nemesys 65X G410 LST 14.5* Tour AD DI 7X ZU85 18* Tour AD 95X 818 H2 20* Tour AD DI 85X MP20 HMB 4 Tour AD 95X JPX 919 Tour 5-9 Oban CT 115 X(-) Vokey SM7 46F - 54S - 59D ER2 Tour B X Link to post Share on other sites
