A work of art, or a putter?


Mr. 82

Recommended Posts

So I was rummaging through my backup bag(s) last night as I am pondering putters (buying/changing/modifying, et al) and remembered I had this beauty that my Dad gave me a long, long time ago. I’ve never put it into play, for several reasons. First, I could never get used to the feel of it, and the lie angle is a bit off of what I am used to. But this was a Christmas present several decades ago I guess and it’s still in mint condition, albeit a bit dusty from never being touched.

If I remember right Louisville golf was big into wooden putters and inserts. Do you know what type of wood the insert is made from?

I think you should get the lie angle adjusted to you liking and give it a go. Unless you plan on trying to flip something like a Lamb, Curcle T, or the likes you should game it

The first picture should give you a clue as to what type of wood it is.

It's Persimmon.  Louisville Golf specializes in making old fashioned persimmon woods, and also hickory shafted clubs.  My Dad discovered them several decades ago when he caught the hickory golf bug and started making all of his own hickory clubs in his basement.

Interesting enough, they also have a set of forged irons that looks REALLY nice.  And at $600 for 3-PW, that's a darn good deal for such beautiful clubs that are conforming and modern.  https://louisvillegolf.com/collections/irons/products/304-blades
