Byron Morgan Putters

[GolfSpy Dave]

As MSaternus and I await new Byrons in the mail, I just wanted to get the thread ready to discuss these fine flatsticks when they arrive.

In the mean time, feel free to post your questions about and reviews of Byron Morgan's putters.

Or just post pictures of any examples of his fine work that you own.

 

To get it going, here is a stainless 007 model that he made for me last year.

[Funkyfedora]

Stainless 006. I will find pics of the ones that slipped through my hands. Images are clickable.

 

 

[Funkyfedora]

This is the first Byron I bought. It just so happened to be the first 006 made for American Sales.

 

 

 

I sold it to fund my custom... I think I am going to try and find it and buy this one back. It has been refinished and now looks like...

[Funkyfedora]

Maker Proof Copper 4/5. This baby went through both mine, and Matt's hands...

 

[Funkyfedora]

First Byron I have ever hit.

[Matt Saternus]

Even though, I'm no longer waiting on my new Byron (hahaha, Sactown), I will go ahead and post pictures of my Byrons.

 

I'll start with the baby of the group. 006, carbon steel, copper plate, 330g

[Matt Saternus]

Next up: the Byron Morgan copper mini & John Byron Dalehead 9.

 

Solid copper, Mini Dalehead 89, 350g

 

Dalehead 9, carbon steel, very light

[Matt Saternus]

Here's my 007x rincon neck.

 

The x indicates a welded neck and rincon is Byron's term for a "flow" neck or a "sante fe" neck.

[Matt Saternus]

Probably the prettiest putter I own:

 

006

American stainless steel

Mystic pearl finish

[Matt Saternus]

John Byron Dalehead

 

Carbon steel, very light, very very good.

[Matt Saternus]

And finally, the one that started it all, my first Byron. 006, carbon steel, black oxide, 355g.

[Funkyfedora]

Matt, Can you post the Mystic pictures that you took with your deck in the background. The colors popped in that pic.

[Matt Saternus]

Sure. Here they are.

What does "ASS" stand for on one of those back bumpers? I assume it's something stainless steel, not just ass.

American Stainless Steel.

[GolfSpy Dave]

American Stainless Steel.

When it was mine, it may have stood for both...

 

How did you win the mystic matt? testing raffle? or the raffle for byron's wife?

[myndcraft]

Byrons are some great looking putters - Now I just need the cash to add one to my collection and to get a rack from Matt to properly display it =)

Monday Night Football contest. The person closest to the final score won a t-shirt or hat, and if you picked the exact score you won a free custom. Pure dumb luck. I woke up, looked at espn.com, thought, "That sounds like what I wrote down...HOLY #*(& IT WAS!!!"

Fantastic luck indeed. If that one ever needs a new home you look me up. I would have to change my name for the others...

 

Wait, looked again.

Yup, all the customs are stamped with the full name to prevent them from ever leaving home. I like the putter to know that I have confidence in it.

I am not sure that the others felt that though when the new one arrived yesterday...

No, it's not a competitive bunch, it's a team. They were happy to add a new member to the group.

American Stainless Steel.

 

Of course, that makes sense. Should have inferred that from GSS = German Stainless Steel.

Hello everyone!

 

I am new to MGS, but not to Byron Putters. My name is Dave, and I am a putter ho! I am also one of Byron's reps. I oversee Byron's test/demo program, administer Club Byron, help folks to order their dream putter from Byron, source and sell Byron soft goods (polos, towels, t-shirts, golf bags, head covers, etc...). I have been fortunate enough to participate in the design of the Turf's Up stainless divot tool and have a small amount of input into the amazing Byron putter racks crafted by MSaternus.

 

In a couple of days we will be holding our first every Club Byron Mixer in beautiful Huntington Beach, CA. We have a group of our most passionate fans coming to SoCal from all over the U.S. and even one coming in from the U.K. In addition to a shop tour, putter making demonstrations, golf, socializing, and spending time with Byron, the people at the Mixer will also see first hand the unveiling of the Bombora - the newest addition to the Byron putter line. (Hmmm, maybe this should have gone in the rumors section

[Matt Saternus]

Welcome to MGS, Dave, glad to see you fixed the technical problems.

[GolfSpy Dave]

Welcome Dave. I have already sent one member a PM about the Australia test program. I'll point him your way.

Are you the one to blame for there being 6 putters ON THE WALL!?! I mean, in a bag is one thing, but when you're putting them on the wall, you have too many.

 

Just kidding, Dave. Byron does beautiful work, I can appreciate the obsession.

[GolfSpy Dave]

Now the obvious marriage wrecking question...

Where are the pictures of your Byron putter?

[Matt Saternus]

She's a long way from a Byron putter. A Byron would probably double the cost of her bag.
