Came across a photo of what looks like a killer wedge: Yururi's CNC KM0107. Has anyone gamed this beauty? Does Yururi even produce it any more?

This is what I game, and I really like the set up, feel, feedback and overall performance:

While putters are really a personal taste, feel, performance issue fitted to each individual, I would have no hesitation to suggest looking at some classic Bruce Sizemore designs. Very high quality, excellent craftsmanship and a great feeling stick in the hand. I have an older SB-2 model and love using it.

Gold's makes an excellent putter. Then again, so do many others who also are seriiously committed to design, balance and performance. Personally, I'm partial to the original designs of Bruce Sizemore as well as Bettinardi, Byron Morgan, Clay Long, Nead (Machine), James Ingles and TP Mills. All of these designers are craftsman of the highest caliber, use superior materials and know the game. Where does the point of difference become apparent and at what value? I'll take a Sizemore SB-1 over any Scotty Cameron for example, and think Gene Nead is a design genius. Why is Gold's so damned expensive relative to the function of putting?

Gun Metal and Nickel for me. Actually I game a Sizemore SB-2 blade in Nickel.

I'm not sure if posting some pictures from another site is violating the rules here (if it is I apologize in advance), but I know how you guys love high quality, artisian putters and wanted to share some photos of 13 really nice finishes used by Bruce Sizemore (pre his association with SuperStroke). Bruce, as many of you know, is a highly respected and admired craftsman in the world of putters. 13 Amazing Putter Finishes.doc

Can't wait to see what Bruce comes out with next. Anyone have any updated information on his plans or new designs?

OK, SO HOW DID IT COME OUT? THIS IS A VERY SPECIAL FLAT STICK AND WOULD LOVE TO SEE SOME PICS ON THE FINAL CUSTOMIZATION.

Now this James Ingles custom blade is what I would call real putter porn: new James Ingles.doc

Try checking out www.puttertalk.com. I'm sure you can get an update from that community.

From Press Release: SuperStroke has decided to focus exclusively on the sale of putter grips. The decision means that SuperStroke will part ways with the putter business, as well as Sizemore, effective at the end of the year. Sizemore emphasized that he felt no animosity in the split. He said he was happy with his putters from a design standpoint, saying they were “close to perfect.” “That’s the cool part,” Sizemore said. “At every end is a beginning. I’ll come up with some good stuff. It will just take some time.” Sizemore said plans to continue to design putters in his studio located in his hometown of Farmington Hills, Mich. He admitted that SuperStroke’s decision to exit the putter market caught him off guard, but he saw the complications that arose for SuperStroke by partnering with him. From me: Bruce has made fantastic putters under his own name, and some very special ones for SuperStroke. I hope Bruce continues to evolve his already excalibre design talents going forward. Can only wish this guy every future success. His stuff is that good.

Ant, Here is a comment from a guy on another forum that gives some insight into what can be done: "Yes. He can do some amazing stuff. For example, antique Damascus shotgun barrels that can no longer be used in shotguns since they won't pass proof (essentially meaning they are not strong enough to stand up to modern loads) can be fashioned into parts of the putter, and if you get really lucky he can even include the original (some from the Victorian era) proof marks on that piece of steel, from which you can often determine who made the shotgun, the buyer who commissioned it, and other details.He also has access to the premier case-hardener in the UK. And the premier engraver. And, and, and. You're limited only by your imagination and your budget."

Here is a nice example of James' engravings: Ingles Hand Made.doc

While I've probably discussed this before, but for those board members who may not know James Ingles, you should. James' family is well known and highly regarded for their shotguns. James has transfered his artistry and craftsmanship to the design and production of putters. His engravings and designs are just beautiful. You might want to check out his website: www.jamesinglesputters.com. Here a few examples. James Ingles Torched engraved.doc James 28G.doc

Cannot believe no one on this site has a comment about Bruce Sizemore. He is a fantastic designer and his putters are of excellent quality. He is now the head designer for Super Stroke, but his original designs are among the best. Beautifully balanced, terrific looking at address and the ball rolls true.

I had fitted and purchased a set of the Ping Anser Forged irons. Could not be happier.

Take a look at www.putterlounge.com for an idea what and how you refurbish your flatstick. They do some nice work.

WOW!!!

Stunning!

Bruce Sizemore is a custom putter designer who produced some beautiful flatsticks under his own name with partners. Apparently after a falling out with the partners, he moved over to Super Stroke as the head designer, again coming out with some unique designs. IMO, one of the best in the business.

Put a dopey bid of $53 for a new (sample) Bruce Sizemore Players Series blade on Ebay, never dreaming in a million years I could win...just won! What a score. Sizemore cavity.doc Sizemore face.doc

Nice putter, but the price is very questionable. For that kind of dough you can look at a Bettinardi, James Ingels, Bryon Morgan, Miura or better yet, have Dave Edel fit, design and build one for you....and still have enough money left to buy a new driver. For the same kind of change, you could also look at a Gold's Factory forged flat stick.

I prefer smaller mallets with good sight lines and good balance (not too head heavy). Some of the best IMO are past models, some of which you can pick up at a very good discount. Try looking at the Oddysey Black Series #3.
