For those right handers lookingfor a Yamada putter, there is a Yamada Samurai and also an 85029 for sale on eBay right now.

So I have spent the last few weeks rolling this on my indoor putting green (weather is prohibitive here at this point). I really like the feel of this putter. I don't know if it is the materials, style/design, or putter maker, but this is quickly becoming my favorite. I have never played a blade/anser style before, and am enjoying it so far. The real test will obviously be out on the course this spring where the Yamada and Lajosi, both very different style putters, will be competing for the starting spot in the bag. I also like the handmade look of this putter. I tend to prefer the slight imperfections of a handmade putter to the perfect lines of the Scotty Camerons, Golds, etc. They are all obviously great putter makers, but this seems to appeal to me more. Would love to see pictures of any else's Yamada putters. I did contact John Muir to see if I could get a 85029 or another Musashi as a backup, and he said that the only left handed putters he is making at this point are center shafted ones. I guess I got one of the last ones.

thanks. I don't have it in hand yet, so the subtle hues are hard for me to comment on. I see a little blue in there. Copper insert, copper inlay site line, copper plated button screws and copper lizard on the bottom.

Thanks, I agree. His detail work is fantastic. I told him what I wanted, and he really nailed it.

Yes sir!

It is the size of the Odyssey V line putter, which I like. 370 grams, 34 inches, Lie angle 71 degrees, Loft 4 degrees.

Kari is just waiting on a putter cover, hope to have it next week or two. I can't wait to have it in hand.

I love how your little emoticon is swinging LEFT HANDED!

Love it.

Yeah, I could do with missing a few less 5 footers as well.

Looks alittle too confining. This stroke may work on short putts, but I find it hard to believe that you could stick with this method on longer putts; not even sure you would want to. I think you will end up having two different putting strokes between short and long putts which could eventually lead to other problems. If your stroke is way too, in out in, then maybe this can help. Curious to see what you think of it when you get it. I have been using the CS2 putting trainer this winter and it works pretty well. It has a cheap look and feel to it, but does what it is supposed to do. The nice thing is you can adjust the gates to allow for a slight inside arc, if you desire. I believe that my putting stroke is alittle more consistent after using this for a few months. What I learned immediately, was that my putter was going outside as I pulled it back, as I kept hitting the gate on the outside by the toe of the putter. This device was helpful in correcting that.

Thanks, very excited. Just spent an hour last night rolling it indoors and boy does it feel nice. Still can't believe how lucky I was to stumble across this. I had given up hope on finding this. It is also 34 inches which is my preferred length, and it has the heavy head weight I prefer.

It feels heavy. When I looked online, there is limited information available, but I think it is 363 grams.

Have you used it on this finish before? Just don't want to ruin it.

Just got it. Beautiful. Looks like there are a few old fingerprints that have tarnished the finish just a little bit. Is there a way to clean these old fingerprints without damaging the finish? Very happy with it as it is, but if I can clean it up without damaging the finish, it would look brand new.

Pass me his name and contact info.

Me as well. If he can get me another one, I would probably buy a back up.

He put it in the mail tonight. I should have it by the end of the week. He apparently bought this last year new, and never took it outside. Rolled it on the carpet indoors, but never more than that. I have to say that I am very excited about having stumbled across this, as I had pretty much given up on ever owning this model putter in burning copper finish. I will post pics when I get it. Hopefully, this is legitimate.

After I get it, I will ask him if he can get his hands on any more. Will let you know. Thanks guys.

Yes, bought it last night

There is. Something funny with the viewer. If you click on the picture, it enlarges and shows the part of the picture that is cut off.

Here is a link to the page for those Yamada experts to inspect. http://golf wrx/forums/topic/1126533-fs-yamada-razor-musashi-lh-putters/

Yeah, it's almost too good to be true. But the pictures really look authentic. He has very good feedback on eBay (apex430), and has sold a bunch of lefty gear over the years. Finish and stamping look exactly like other pictures of this putter.. I will see if he has name of rep. he got it from. Since, as a lefty, this is like finding a unicorn, I may just buy it, and if it is fake, deal with Payapl. Will send post pictures when I get it.

Looking to buy a Yamada putter on the BST at GolfWRX from a guy with what looks like a decent reputation on eBay. It is a left Yamada Musashi in burning copper that he said he bought last year in Singapore from a Yamada rep. Pictures look legitimate, but I didn't even know if Yamada made the Musashi in left handed, as I have never seen one before. He wants $550, and I am going to buy it unless someone chimes in and tells me that this has to be a fake, as they didn't make it in left handed a year ago. Thanks

That's why I have chosen a few drivers that perform very differently. I have the Ryoma for when my swing is not very consistent and I need a little more forgiveness. The Crazy 435 comes out when I am really hitting the driver consistently and feel confident on the tee. Needless to say, the Crazy 435 hasn't been out on the course very much in the past 2 years.
