A couple more angles, In this situation it seems the customer needed the neck more forward and moved closer to the toe side. Also I see they needed extra weight on the toe side so they heightened to a sharper point. The fitting likely determined this along with the neck height and angle. This putter also has a sole angle so it sits flat without closing at address if grounded.

Gotta agree, Pings are no joke, performance is great, their drivers are awesome. It just doesn't feel good watching this.

We don't want our golf clubs made this way... Sorry Ping!

I wanted to start a single mega thread to explain benock and what makes Okuda-san's putters so special. This is not the official write up, we are a few months out on that still but I will be posting pics of some beautiful custom putters so feel free to jump in with any questions you may have. Compare them to the very best and expect them to beat it. Every Benock putter can be different based on the needs of the player, many of the shapes are one-offs.

I actually messed this one up. The back face shot is not the same putter as all other angles. They both look similar but the angles belong to :

This is actually with full body mill, its just hard to see with this lighting.

Yes, our lie/loft changes are done at the factory using a specific machine and custom jig so there are no marks whatsoever.

This will be my 3rd putter from Okuda-san and as someone who designs putters and has access to just about any factory to make them there is a very clear pecking order of who is the best especially in terms of manufacturing capabilities. Nothing comes close to Benock. Where scotty just recently increased the price of his 009.M due to his investment in a 5 Axis machine benock has always had 4 of them. When tour players on the PGA need a new putter scotty, bett, etc.. dont produce the player a totally custom design to fit every need. They take what they have and adjust it. Benock offers services not even the tour players get and they offer it to every customer. I have a mallet and anser from benock both hands down the best I have ever experienced they put I've owned all to shame. This time while at his factory I found a shape and when I went home I could not stop thinking about it. Here is an example of the shape I want although mine will look different when complete. Okuda-san knows this is not the putter I should play based on my fitting but I already have what I need so its now time for what I want.

We can make you this.

We are bringing Benock to the world soon! It only took 3 years to negotiate the system but its finally done! You guys are about to have access to the best putters in the world. Scotty, Tyson Lamb, Bettinardi have nothing on Okudas putters, they don't have the technology, machines, materials, and maniacal passion. Tour players are not even getting custom cad design and now you guys can!

I assure you no #3 irons have been made. This is something that can be done in the future, there is also a #2 iron mold. But at the moment no 3's are in production.

We are down to our last 2 chrome mirror sets. Raw black is gone. We are pushing Kyoei to hurry with more. We prioritize customers over dealers right now we are down 2 sets back orders for TSGers yet down 40 sets for golf shops.

softer and great feel, weight is decent in the high 50s to 60 range. very smooth easy feel I can suggest these for someone who wants this weight and has a bad shot of a slice. not the best for someone who hooks the ball.

TMB vs VG3? or C16 vs VG3?

Waccine compo has been around a few years they have Japanese tour pros playing them and they are designed and made really well based on the concept of counterbalanced wood shafts.

I had a used set last year. I liked the T-MB better for shape/size/feel. The C16 won in distance and forgiveness. They are forgiving, long, interesting feel. lots of tech when you break down the materials and weighting. Its basically a one up on PXG yet failed to impress me as Im a purist 1 piece forged head fan.

Yup. Geotech products are very good.

We ship these worldwide. NGT is the S.E Asia distributor. They have not received their stock yet but should soon.

The shape is totally different. Both are 360g head weight now. Kyuzo.01 has deep swirl milling and feels softer but also in part due to thicker top line. helps firmer balls feel softer AG feels a touch firmer but still softer than SUS303 - if you play soft balls these are great.

Yes raw black is called kurozome it will wear and rust but if you take care looks awesome with wear. That is TSG Clubworks soft black

In a nutshell these are counterbalanced shafts manufactured by Fujikura using Harada-sans design and philosophy. Most high end shafts have... wait Ill let the next post explain this...

Before the Forge..

NC17 that blank blade is actually by Kyoei.
