Thanks Dale, that's one of the reason I choose Kari to do my first custom. His work is just amazing and from what i gather over in PT, they roll as well as they look too. Can't wait to see what he can do with that block of Damascus steel.

Damascus For my next custom, I wanted something special….. So I decided to give Damascus steel a try to see what’s the fuss is all about. You can see in the background my BM3- Smooth, which is already 80% done. After looking at all the wonderful putters, I have in my mind what I wanted that would suit my eyes so I got in touch with Kari and after a few e-mail exchanges, he agrees to modified one of his standard model to my requirements. Dealing with Kari was pleasant and he was super efficient (and patience) in answering all the endless stupid questions I have. Thanks Kari….!! Stay tune for more updates…..

BM3 - Smooth First on the list was a BM3 – Smooth. Love the original version of BM3 but the newer version with the more rounded flange just seem to flow with the toe much better. Also decided to go with the unique lizard face milling. Not sure on finish yet for this but have shortlist Antique Silver or Gun Metal. Wanted also some of my personal initials on the putter as well (so hopefully it will stop my putter hoo…!) and the initial idea was to have this logo of a ‘Monkey’ done in a Chinese brush stroke. Alternatively (should the Monkey proof too difficult a challenge to blend into the whole putter design), I also came out with this: What you guys think? I think the name should suit this sexy baby…. but at the same time the Chinese brush stroke Monkey in black is also very unique, especially since I was born in the Year of Monkey and now my work have brought me to China for the past 12 years.

Guys, thought I would share a cool putter project I'm now getting done from Lajosi in Australia. Tired of ‘off the rack’ and been having this idea to have a customize putter for the last year or so and have been reading and searching many different forums for ideas. There are many name brands out there that does great customization today, compare to couple years back and the many choices only create more confusion as each brand are a beauty in their own rights with each seem to specialize in certain type of style and finished. Was undecided for a long time which style or brand I prefer until one day I bump into someone with a Lajosi putter and it was ‘Love At First Sight’ and I knew immediately who I wanted to design my first custom putter. I then started to register myself in PT and start looking at their threads on the other putters he have created and in my mind, without a doubt, “This is the man” as each of his work is like looking at an Art Display. There are so many great Lajosi designs that I like, it was hard to decided on one so I went with TWO custom instead.

Very nice.... the packaging is 1st class !

Nice review...I've seem a couple of Romaro around and never thought of giving em a swing but this review sure makes me wanna go swing some demo and see how they compare to my Yururi Flatback

I would be surprise if they can fake this as it looks pretty much real to me, apart from the custom ferrules lol

Great ..... Now we can have more video review with that effortless swing of yours :)

Glenfiddich is my fav too.... recently now been trying some Jap single malts. Different but nice.....

Neither..... was one of my regular guest who is also a wine nuts !! we did a vertical wine dinner from year 2000-2010 (4 bottles each). You should see this guy cellar... he has screaming eagle in different vintages in his cellar.

Very nice. I'm also playing the same set. You will love em.

Good thread.... i'm also curious as those shafts are getting more and more expensive and would really like to know a little about each of em before dropping the $$$

Thanks Robbie... somehow I missed that post. Excellence information there and also scary to see how tiny the sweet spot is lol. I was thinking of getting a set of 1957 or this but not sure if I can handle em' Being a 9.6 index doesn't help, eventhou I'm quite a decent ball striker :(

I'm a hotelier for the last 25 years and I managed several 5-star hotels in China.... thought I would share a recent wine dinner hosted by one of my guest and this was for dessert

Are they the same size as the Miura baby blades?

Agree I think it's the gel 'insert' that give 502 the softer than soft feel. Without it, it could feel kind hollow!

Hmmm maybe I misunderstood the write-up lol. Here's the quote from the online store "While the face of the driver appears similar to the original model except it now has a black IP finish, the sole has changed radically incorporating a 3 interchangeable weight design to allow for alteration of the head's CG point and bias." For me, at least interchangeable means we can move em around

Seem there are interchangable weights on the Crazy 435II. How does it work?

They have their new fairway wood out.... http://www.akira-products.co.jp/english/products/index.html You might wanna check it out!

Mid May..... wow !! That's yet another delay

Must be about the nicest blades I've set my eyes on....

Yururi wedges which can be bend to 46-48 would be ideal for you.

That's a very nice set...... 3-7 only?

I would think offsetting the head weights to your ideal SW are much easier than adjusting each loft lol

Why dont just buy a set of heads (#3-p) and then just shaft them the same lenght?
