nobmontana Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Just picked up a Kitada putter head once again. This time it's their SM490A model with Black Boron Finish. My old Gold's putter has a flat face with no milling. And honestly I do not mind the feel of it. I think the JIS 303 already gives a softer feel off the face to begin with. While I think deep milled faces are great in terms of soft feel, I actually don't like it when it gets too mushy. After some trial and error, I found that the feel I am after is the fine milling on my Ping 303 Redwood. So back to the Kitada head. The model is KP-2F which is their version of Newport 2 and they do all of their heads with fine milled faces. Received the head today and paired it with a Nippon heavy shaft and gave it a few rolls on the carpet. Feel is sensational!! Not too soft and not too firm! Perfect! The Boron finish is really nice as well. and the design of the engraving and lettering ...... well let's not go there :) I wish it was completely blank to be quite honest. Top notch material / finish and top notch machining technique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
