idrive Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 I've compared the insert to the Premium Zone insert as close as possible. They look pretty much identical. I rolled about 100 putts with it today. I won't say it rolls the ball better than the G-field Premium Zones but it rolls it at least as well. But I Putt better with the Golds Factory. Now that I have one with the Premium Zone insert... I'll Putting lights out!!!! I did Putt very well with it today, very, very happy. As I have said before, their is something about the way this Putter sets up for me. (private stock #2) It feels like it is lower on the ball... like I can get under it easier.... seems easier to roll the ball, I don't feel like I'm blocking it. Hard to describe. The Feel: ... ... so soft, so sweet... I know it can't get any better because I have never felt anything better. A couple of the guys at the course rolled a few with it and fell in love. I am in love with the Putter. It came out just the way I had hoped. I'm sending my black one back to have the insert added. Hope you enjoy the Pics. I don't know why but my camera makes the paintfill look orange in some of the shots, it's not, it's blood red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phillip Alexander Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 Good looking putter.... ....but hey they are ALL good looking putters!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daamartin Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 Congrats. Beatiful job. I like your backyard putting arena btw! With regard to how you described the differences and ease of "getting lower on the ball", are the lofts the same on your new putter and your premium zone?

idrive Posted April 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 Congrats. Beatiful job. I like your backyard putting arena btw!With regard to how you described the differences and ease of "getting lower on the ball", are the lofts the same on your new putter and your premium zone? Comparing the Putters, the bottoms are shaped differently. I think this is part of what gives it the sensation of sitting down better. The Golds Putters top edge does not sit as high on the ball as the G-field. It is narrower also. Yes, G-field lists the loft at 4* for the Premium zone putters. The Golds Factory is 5.5* loft. Another part of the reason I prefer this setup over the Premium Zone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoe295 Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 Outstanding! Nice finish on that putter also. In fact nice collection of putters in general. Thanks for sharing this with us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blader-X Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 Yes Idrive, thanks very much for the pics. Beautiful putter. I'm sure you'll be getting many inquires about this putter as this appears to be the only thing one will be able to get now that the Premium Zone is no longer available unless from re-sale.

gocchin Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 Looks awesome idrive and sounds like it plays well. I've decided I have to get one of Sasaya-san's masterpieces... I stare all day at his blog and it totures me. Now I just have to figure out what exactly I want. Congrats on a beautiful putter! Here are some of Sasaya-san's pics of the insert before installation: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breal Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 Very nice and good collection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idrive Posted April 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 (edited) Very nice and good collection Thank you, I have a pretty good Cameron Collection. Working on the Gauge Design and Golds Factory now. I also just came off the Golf Course having played my first round with the new Putter. The Putter is just amazing. I Putt extremely well all day. I think holding the Putter, knowing the Master has made it for me, to my specs, makes me a better Putter. Mental thing...

+TourSpecGolfer Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 It simply looks amazing. Ive had a few tour cammy's, betts, many g-fields and more but Golds factory quality stomps the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris, I've noticed there's no putter in your WITB signature. Could we be expecting to see something really exciting from Gold's made especially for the Jedi??

+TourSpecGolfer Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 So member idrive has 2 of these monsters now, along with the 1st article F.I.T DASS bettinardi. Can you tell us which one is your current gamer and why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idrive Posted October 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 So member idrive has 2 of these monsters now, along with the 1st article F.I.T DASS bettinardi. Can you tell us which one is your current gamer and why? I've won a bunch of bets already.. just because this Putter (the black one) http://forum.tourspecgolf.com/index.php?showtopic=24160 is still in the bag. I'm well known for having a different Putter every couple of weeks. The Putter pictured above just sits because as far as I know it is the first Putter to be created by the Master with this combination. After receiving this Putter and Putting a couple of rounds, I sent back my Black gamer to have the same insert installed. NOTHING and I mean NOTHING compares to the feel, roll, set up and anything else you can think of. Putting has become the most consistent part of my game and it is the Putter. I simply can't say enough about how much I love this set up. Sorry to say that the Bett 1st Art just doesn't compare... it is a beautiful Putter, feels and rolls the ball very nicely but... Gimme the Golds baby.. just gimme the Golds!!!!!! I just returned from the Golf Channel Amateur Tour Finals in Florida. On more than one occasion I had people comment on my Putting and how they wished they could Putt as consistently as I do. Trust me when I tell you, it is the Putter!!!!!!!! I could go on and on about how much I love these Putters but I don't want to bore anyone to tears. If you want to Putt with the Ultimate (IMO) Putter, get your specs together and have the Master build you one of these Putters, they are the best Putter PERIOD, that will improve your game. Did I mention how much I love this Putter??? How amazing the roll is??? Feel??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
