Bobbers Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 1 hour ago, tdroma98 said: @Bobbers good call on Carbite. It triggered me to search through my golf bucket. Several years ago I found a Carbite blade putter head. Someone had broken the shaft off. I had found the putter head in the woods while ball hawking. I kept the putter to see if it could be reshafted at some point. From the photo it looks like the hosel, where the shaft inserts, might be broken off. That would make reshafting it problematic. If it's simply the shaft is broken off it's a piece of cake to remove the old shaft and start over.

Dunlop, the tire company got bought up by Goodyear and Sumitomo rubber. The golf patents all went to Sumitomo in the sale, and they are the parent manufacturer of Srixon/Cleveland. I'll add SeeMore putters, PowerBilt, and Alien (lol) I believe SeeMore is still making quality putters. https://cart.seemore.com/ Edited March 28 by DawgDaddy Rob Person 1 Quote Driver - Rogue ST Max Woods - Rogue ST Max 3, 5 & 7 Woods Irons - Rogue ST Max Wedges - Zipcore RTX 6 50° CBX2 54* & 58* Putter - Evnroll ER2 Rangefinder - NX-10 Slope Ball - Pro Tour Drip Bag - Xtreme Cart 7.0 Bag Heather/Red/White Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firedad Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Faultless golf balls, out of Ashland, Oh. I believe they paid Lee Trevino to play them for a while. Classic one piece ball from the sixties.
