jonbev78 Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 (edited) I have been on what it felt like a worldwide Global search recently for a putter that has been on my wish list for quiet sometime.. The Handmade YAMADA Musashi. This boy is a tough one to find! Cut a long story short she is on her way to me tomorrow, coming from Europe.

golfer75 Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 Very nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonbev78 Posted April 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 Thanks. I would have prefered the Burning copper but due to the rarity of these now i had snatch it. Still looks the business in smoked finish. Next on my list is the ZEN.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbie Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 Haha, the hunt is never over, just another item to cross off your list...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiromikey Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 Thanks. I would have prefered the Burning copper but due to the rarity of these now i had snatch it. Still looks the business in smoked finish. Next on my list is the ZEN.. Nice, I like the smoked finish! Good next choice. I may send something I already own to Gold's just for something to do...but the Zen quickly ended my putter search. I haven't wanted or even putted with anything else since day one with her. In fact, I sold my Burning Copper Yamada the next day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevopagolf Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 I think the Musashi is the same as the 85029? At least it looks like my burning copper 85029 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
needmoregolf Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 I think the Musashi is the same as the 85029? At least it looks like my burning copper 85029 I think you're right stevo, and that is what confuses me most about Yamada sometimes. All great names, but wish he stayed consistent w/ them throughout the years as there are many models that have different names based on time period they were released, neck style or even a combination of the two (i.e. - Wide Blade is the same as the Sumo but some say Goose while others do not when it's a plumbers neck). I also have an older Ibushi 85029 so I think the 85029 denotes more of the head style while the name is, well, just a name? Staying on the topic tho, love the Musahi/85029, and have been looking for one myself. I think stevo beat me out in the eBay auction for that sweet burning copper one ;) haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lousifers Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 I believe the Epon dealer I got my Zen still have a few brand new left. PM me if you can't find one Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megameng Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 Nice! That is one sweet stick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluejays Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 I have got a Yamada Emperor II machine milled putter, does handmade feels a lot better than machine milled or they are about the same? Also does Burning copper feels even softer? Wondering if I should hunt for a handmade burning copper... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duffer19 Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 C, you can try our burning copper when or if it ever come. It has been almost 2 months now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonbev78 Posted April 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 I picked up another Handmade last week, this time an emporer. I can see this one getting sent in for a golds smoke copper and some mod work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
