I'm pretty chuffed with it so far. Carbon steel, 395g at the moment but have the face machining to do so I reckon around 360g when I'm done. Looks like "Really Nice Work" on those putter heads. What I would recommend is that you think about designing a putter with a "HIGH" center of gravity instead of the "'LOW CG these putters have. The idea when you putt, is the "ROLL" the ball on top of the grass, NOT pop the ball UP into the air. IF you look at other golf clubs that are designed to get the ball UP into the air, you will notice that they ALL have a LOW CG. That's great IF you want to launch the ball UP into the air, but NOT if you want to ROLL the ball to the cup. Think about it and let me know what you think.

After a chat with the pro he recommended that a more traditional blade would be a good one to try and sell so that's what I'm doing. I'm going to do a set of 4 this time, 2 x RH & 2 x LH in both 304SS and carbon steel, so that we can put a couple into the shop for demo. It's all programmed on the mill, I just need a window in the work-load to get them machined. I did have time to do a sample of the face machining to see how it looks as I'm trying to keep the engraving/logo's to a minimum to try and give them a clean look. I'll, hopefully, get them done in time for when we can start playing at the end of March I'll update as I get more done but, as usual, all thoughts & input gratefully received.

My design has a high CG with 4* of lost on the face.

Your workmanship looks great, now think about designing a putter with a HIGH CG to get the ball to ROLL not pop up into the air and you will be all set to build a really good putter. While it's nice to build a putter that looks and feels good. I hope you will agree that that doesn't really matter if it does not perform any better than what's on the market now.

What I was trying to say is that for the BEST performance with a putter, you want the ball to ROLL as soon as possible. And to do that a HIGH center of gravity is best. Looking at his putter and going by his workmanship, I would say his putter will work as well as all the other putters on the market with a LOW CG, which is just about ALL of them. The point of my post was the advise to him to try designing a putter with a HIGH CG to get the ball rolling and NOT pop it up into the air, which can cause the ball to "Skip" a little when it lands to go off line. A high CG can prevent that problem. DStar and PMookie 2 Quote All my clubs are custom built with aftermarket shafts that have been spine and FLO aligned for max performance every swing.

Grasper Parsnip Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 (edited) I reckon your putters will work as well as any well balanced putter out there and for a fraction of the price the big companies charge for them. Too much is being made of modern putters as it depends on the users skill and practice rather than the actual putter in itself. Good roll is a great help though. I have a Yes putter and this puts great roll on the ball, equally as wel as any other modern putter being overhyped i recent years. You only have to look at the AVG Putting stats as far back as the 1990s on the PGA tour to see that the best putters on tour have not improved in spite of manufacturers keep telling us that this putter is an improvement on last yeas model etc. Every year we are told that putters are getting better and better. if that was really the case then soon they will putt the ball in the hole for us by themselves if we believed that. Tour Pros could putt with a bit of garden hose tied to a broom handle and there is nothing wrong with these modern putters and they get paid to play them so many do as they work just as well as the old ones. To put things into perspective Ben Crenshaw back in 1994 got the same kind of puting average with his old Wilson Blade as the best putters in the world do now with the ever changing modern putters and every year after the average putting stats are very very similar, right up until this year. For me the only interesting thing in modern putters is the varied loft face on the SIK putters and now incorporated in some new Cobra putters. This will promote the same kind of strike and roll no matter if your stroke is not perfect everytime. Time will tell if this improves the top putters on the various pro tours putting stats since the early 1990s as no other putters have so far.

IONEPUTT Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Again , this is beautiful workmanship on your part. Nicely done. What I would like to suggest is that next time you machine a putter head. INVERT the head so that "Flange" on the bottom of the head at the back, is ON TOO. That simple change would "Raise" the CG to be above the ball at impact and that would cause the ball to "Roll" sooner and not pop up into the air as much coming off the putter face. WEDGES are designed to get the ball UP into the air. and ALL good wedges have a LOW CG for that reason. If you use that same thinking to build a putter, the ball "Will" pop up into the air, just like with a wedge. Reverse the design to a HIGH CG design and I think you'll like the results a lot.
