Have one in a solid copper putter. That combo is softer than anything I have ever tried. Very curious to see how it compares to my looming custom putter with Quadra shaft....

This for that project I ref'd in other emails... A solid copper Zen'ish putter.... Oddly even with the Quadra, still cheaper than the actual Zen...

RECEIVED the head yesterday delivered on a saturday.

1.Arc reactor black on cavity

2.dual tungsten arc reactor sole weights.

3.bullseye golds reactor insert in heel

4.new style deep face milling

5. repair dings and polish

6. re balance

7. bead blast boron finish.

T, am i forgetting anything else?

original heads was sus303 with a weight of 350 grams.

clean dings and re sand would bring weight down and

wanted end weight to be 360 grams. It also had a triple

level sole which is the same thing tiger woods has on his

putters and the Tiger commemorative putter.

wanted to keep the putter simple, fresh and not over the top.

think it looks pretty good. will take more daytime pics.

heres the thread that inspired me. had the same mods done

only diff is mine has a siteline

Johnny is my dad, we have the same specs, he's going thru a putting slump

So hopefully this reinvigorates him...

He gets tired of putts anyway lol

Usually I ask to be adopted by the parents of friends, but based on the gifts you bestow on your dad I should be asking if you want to be adopted....

I know very little about GF and have been reading up a little... Do they make putters OR do they just refurbish/customize existing putters not made by them OR both?

If they do make their own putters from scratch, what are the model names? Thanks.

they do both but originally sold their own putters as stock or modified with all bells and whistles.

because of his popularity he has accepted modification of other brands.

way too much info here.

tested the putter today.

a bit on the heavy side but

it is soo well balanced. it really gets

the ball rolling well and there is some

difference from the original.

al dente with the deep milling and FF shaft.

my dad loves the way it sets up.

it was beyond perfect in carpet putting. real test is in the

real world judging distance control.

updates and shafted pics soon

Can't you replace the weights on the sole withe lighter ones?

the whole point of the sole weights are to increase weight. looks cool too:)

hmm shaving weight can be done for sure.

Proves a disadvantage for his stroke.. Tried counter weighting

Changing grip nada. Still very heavy sw wise.

If it eas lighter. Hes gaming an old gfield leap putter for the lighter head feel.

Help guys,
