Jmikecpa Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 About a month ago I was up in Rochester for a golf event and was going to pass through Buffalo so why not get a new putter along the way. A friend of mine that I played some golf with in Philly years ago is now a club pro and affiliated with T Squared so he hooked me up with a contact and a fitting. Without boring you on the story of T Squared I will link the MGS article on them. Needless to say it is a cool story. https://mygolfspy.com/meet-t-squared-not-your-average-putter-company/ The main thing that I liked about the putters, besides the customization, was that they make a face balanced long neck blade. These days it is like finding a unicorn and actually only the fourth long neck blade I own in my collection. On the day of our appointment I met up with Zak from T Squared at their shop and took a brief tour. It was pretty cool to see some of the designs they are working on as well as the quality of the machinery they are using. New Proto mallet heads Raw heads ready to rock After a tour of the shop we got down to business and building me a putter. I rolled a bunch of what they had but had my eye on the 713 I with a long neck and the aluminum insert. While trying to figure out colors and designs I got to roll a putter that was made for Donald Trump and it in a way became my inspiration. While trying to figure out a theme the options are overwhelming in terms of colors. Want a pink face inlay with a baby blue neck and a purple knuckle...check. Want lighter or darker purple....check. The color combos are almost endless as well as options for engraving. What I liked about the Trump putter was that it was blacked out with naked engraving. As much as I said to myself do something different I ended up with a completely murdered out custom. The template for the built is pretty damn cool as well. About a week after my fitting I got an email from Zak with the proof of my new stick that we just call Money. About two weeks later I had a box waiting for me at my house with my new stick. Once I got it open I was blown away. Black on black on black blade with some awesome engraving and a Best Grips micro perf grip. Specs are 34”, 71* lie angle with a 360g head. Overall it was a great experience and I came away with a putter that is really 1 of 1 (unless someone else wants my name on their putter). Besides looking great it does put an awesome roll on the ball and has been in my bag since the day it arrived at my house. Let me know if you have any questions and I would be happy to answer as best as I can.

golfertrb Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 It looks amazing! Would you mind taking a full-length shot? Also, what is the feel comparable to? The only experience I have with aluminum is "The Fat Lady Swings" and the original Futura. The Futura had a lovely little pop to it - springy but in a very pleasing way. Is it comparable to that at all?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Ping G400 LST 8.5* Graphite Design DI 6 stiff 45" Taylormade RBZ Proto 14.5* Oban Kiyoshi 85 04 42.5" Adams 4555 19* Matrix Ozik Altus 80 S/X 42" Ping G410 Crossover 2 Project X Even Flow Blue 85 6.0 40" Ping i500 4-8 Modus 105 Stiff Ping Blueprint 9-P Modus 105 Stiff Fourteen RM-12 53* and 58* Tour Issue Black Onyx s400 Odyssey Tour Black Series 9 35" Flatso 1.0 Srixon Z Star XV 2018 Ping Hoofer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe you can just reach out to them on their website and they can schedule something for you.
