MACHINE Putters Picture Thread

[Choeppner]

Hey Guys,

 

I hope everyone is having a great week! I wanted to share some more pictures of the Custom MACHINE M10 Mini of the 303 Stainless

 

This is a Prototype for the MACHINE M10 Mini that the owner of the 303 Stainless Ordered

 

This Mini has a thicker cavity / sole flange thickness dimension and the flange is deeper. We did this to meet the Weight Requirements the customer is looking for

 

We will be milling the thread mill grooves in the morning and then Dave will begin hand blending the bumpers and softening the edges

 

Enjoy

Hey Guys,

 

I hope everyone is having a great week! I wanted to share with you a Sneak Peek of something that we are working on here at MACHINE

 

For those of you who remember our HOG Putters line from years ago, this should bring back memories of the HOG Superline.

 

We've had lots of customers asking for Custom Sighting Options and for a way to increase the alignment aids. This is the prototype so far and will be available on all the MACHINE 5.0 Series Putters as an option once we get the prototype finalized

 

We will be offering these with Custom Sightlines, Reversible Sides, Alignment Fins and Cuts, Different lengths, Adjustable weight system, custom anodized finishes, you name it!

 

The Target weight that these will be is approximately 25 grams and up depending on model and adjustability options you decide on

 

We look forward to hearing your thoughts!

 

Thanks in advance

Hey Guys

 

I hope everyone is having a great weekend! We've been getting ALOT of great comments on the new Tongue Back Medallion so I wanted to post some pictures showing another milling option

 

We are calling this the Tongue Back Medallion with Grill Milling

 

You could Anodize the Tongue and then do a Contrasting Paint Fill, or leave as it Both would work great

 

I look forward to hearing your thoughts!

 

Thanks in advance

This MACHINE features a Custom Aluminum Bronze M1A Adjuster Head with a Custom Sound Slot and a Aluminum Bronze Hand Bent Hosel.

 

These pics were taken right after the first bending of the hosel. We still have a little more bending on the hosel to get to the customers specs. Once we finish bending the neck, we will clean up the hosel bending marks and apply a Custom Antique Patina to the Head and Neck.

 

I look forward to hearing your thoughts!

Hey Guys,

 

I hope everyone had a great week!

 

I wanted to share with you a New Custom Finish option for our 1018 Carbon Steel putters. You may have seen this finish on fine old antique firearms. It is called Case Hardened, or Case Colored.

 

Dave has been wanting to do this for many years, but it has been a challenge to find the right artisan with old-school skills that can pull these off for us, and do so in a reasonable amount of time and with the quality we have to have for our putters. One Master Gunsmith I contacted was eager to do the work, but backed up for more than a year.... It's a dying art, but one that looks really beautiful when done right.

 

We now have one of the best in the business doing these for us in very limited numbers between his antique firearms restoration (his pieces are in the finest collections in the world). You have to see the process to really appreciate all that goes into this finish. It's probably closer to alchemy than any modern plating or colorization, and is a lengthy and time consuming.

 

We are offering a limited run of 10-12 pieces in whatever head, neck, flange and even medallion you may want to choose! First come, first serve! Total turnaround time is 5-6 weeks for new custom putters orders with this finish.

 

Shown below is Case Color ART MACHINE #1, a M1A Fixer with TMG - 32, a Stubby plumber neck and Mokume Gane Logo Medallion. This putter is ready to go to a new home with shaft grip and head cover of choice!

 

I look forward to hearing your thoughts!

 

Thanks
