John Letters has launched a new Silver Swan putter range for 2012, with two brand new models on offer as well a re-designed classic.

 

The new SS7 and SS8 have been designed to offer great feel and responsive feedback, and have been crafted from 304 stainless steel and produced with a double CNC Milled face.

 

The SS7 is ideal for those golfers after a traditional blade style putter, while the SS8 is a mid-mallet design that offers a touch more forgiveness.

 

John Letters has also added an improved SS6 to the line which has been designed with a high-definition alignment aid on the length of the clubhead to help get golfers on the correct line.

 

The modern mallet design of the SS6 also helps to position the weight towards the read of the head, which in turn increases MOI and adds forgiveness.

 

Each model will retail at £69.99.

That's a great price for a nice putter. Really makes you wonder why a scotty can cost almost 3 time that...

If Scotty bought his putters from a foundry in Asia, cast from 304 SS and with milled faces, he'd be able to market them at a price very near this.

I am not a huge Scotty fan, but these putters are nowhere near the quality of the OTR Scotty putters that we are seeing in today's market.

These are more on par with the Cleveland Classic line. Cast, skim milled and offered to hit a target audience that wants a lower priced putter. Nothing wrong with that, but make no mistake, there is a difference in materials, difference in country of origin and a difference in workmanship.

Just one Mann's honest opinion.
