fixyurdivot Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 On 1/12/2021 at 3:33 AM, DStar said: Hi all I'm a newbie on here as I'm getting back into golf after 15 years away. Great timing as my local course is closed due to the UK lockdown but I've squeezed in a round and had some practice. I'm a CNC programmer by trade and I like tinkering with ideas for things to make and, as I'm back into golf, thought I'd have a go at making my own putter. I have no experience of what makes a good putter but thought, as I'm almost starting from scratch again, I could make something to try. Here's the 1st attempt, just waiting for the shaft and I can give it a go at home: As I was just playing with an idea it's aluminum with a 304SS insert and copper weights. It's probably a little light at just under 300g with 2.5° loft but will see how it goes. From doing the machining on the 1st one I've learned a few things and have already made a start on #2 which is going to be carbon steel but a slightly different shape (more of a traditional style). Possibly do a 316SS version if this one works nicely so that I can compare the 2.. What do you think? Steve Nice! I really like the D logo. As someone mentioned, this hobby level stuff is the origin of a number of full blown custom putter companies. The flat stick is the most personal club in the quiver and lots of folks like owning a unique one.

azstu324 Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Maybe I missed it in earlier posts but do you know what balance point you're going for? I.e. face, minimal, partial, or full toe hang?

Popular Post DStar Posted January 21, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 21, 2021 So had a slight hiccup with the paint yesterday in that the yellow hadn't fully dried and got smudged pretty bad so... I stripped out the paint and gave the head a light bead blast. As the chemi-black goes into the metal a bit this left a really nice gunmetal colour so I decided not to re-black it. Will probably need a little more care to prevent rust but some silicon spray will do that.. New paint, left to dry properly this time, and voila!! Weights fitted and I like it even more now: sirchunksalot, HardcoreLooper, MattF and 9 others 12 Quote Aerojet F9 3/4 Wood Aldila NV 2KXV Blue JPX921SEL 4-PW Nippon Modus³ Tour 120 X SM8 50° F-Grind SM8 54° F-Grind SM8 58° K-Grind DStar 'Malvern' Putter AVX & -ProV1X Tour-X "Hey mister, your clubs are the wrong way round"..
