New Byron Putter Model - The Bombora!


nvgolfdude

Recommended Posts

Last Friday, March 19th, at the Inaugural Club Byron Mixer in beautiful Huntington Beach, CA, the Bombora was introduced to the world. cool.gif

 

The prototypes were amazing!! The genius of this putter design is that it can be made as either left or right handed, and its updated design from prior versions Byron has made over the last 20+ years results in less toe-flow. This can be altered through aggessive shaping and weight reduction in the heel when making the putter for a customer. This is a TRUE custom putter design accomodating any neck, and allowing for any toe-hang from face-balanced to toe-down. It also can be finished in to a broad range of finished head weights from 365 to 320.

 

Enjoy the pictures...

 

BTW, yes the first 2 pics are of a German stainless, torched Bombora. biggrin.gif

Thanks dave.

These are great. I know that you putt with the naked stick, but what is your opinion on line in these.

majority here are thinking dot or naked.

Interesting idea to engrave mill marks on the back of the putter. I've never seen that - very different looking. Nicely done.

IMO, this is one of the coolest things on this putter. I really like how the tuna pattern is compressed on the back to fit that smaller space.

The I-beam longneck and the long goose neck look the best to me.

 

Back to the NECK post for term look-up again... you guys are killing me!

Goose is the one with the scale

I beam is the one on the bottom that looks like it has a channel milled out of it

not the official name for that one either, just what I call it...

Well, if you start making up your own names for stuff, then I'm really screwed.

Thanks Steve.

btw, what is the official name for that long neck style on the last one that looks like an I-beam to me?

That is a Hi-Beam hosel. Byron has a patent on that one

Thanks steve. That may have to go on my next 006.

Since I have had my other one for 2 weeks, it must be time to design the next one. :huh:

Do they coat these things in crack? The torched finish would make sense then...

Actually, none of the necks in the pictures are a goose neck. The putter on the scale is a long round neck (aka long pipe). IMO the round necks look best on these putters. The neck options on the Bombora are: short round neck, long round neck, Rincon/flow neck, plumbers neck, long plumbers neck, slant neck, long slant neck, centershaft, I-beam plumbers neck, and the s-bend neck (some refer to as a swan or goose neck - picture attached).

 

The base price of $450 includes all of the necks except long plumbers neck and long slant plumbers neck. These have an additional cost of $50.00.

Just a few options there...

 

Wow, you'd have to game a good pair of sunglasses to game that big bad boy. Beautiful putter though.

I'm with you, Dave, I like the round neck the best on the Bombora. Hopefully the Bombora demo will be a long round neck...naked...carbon...330-340...not that I'm picky.
