Posted April 20, 201311 yr Every so often we send in a batch of new putters to have modified by Master Sasaya of Gold's Factory. TSG is always talking about Gold's because they really are a one of a kind company. Totally unique and you know what you will get when having anything touched by the master... Excellence, a level of quality so high and an attention to detail so critical you would expect the best. In the TSG Online Store we will begin offering some tasteful designs on a more regular basis, The first 4 putters to be released will be 3 unique new model Scotty Cameron Sonoma's and a Japan Only Odyssey Tour iX Black Series #2. They do cost a pretty penny but with this level of quality one can expect that. Below pictures of my favorite of the 3 Sonoma's. Each Sonoma has a different finish and color scheme, this one in Teflon Black and replaced the scotty circles with yellow ARC reactors by Gold's Factory.. The tilted old school mini G is milled into the nose. The two weights on the sole have been increased now 15g each instead of 10g. A new Shimada stepless shaft installed and spined attached to a matching yellow GF grip. Finally and the most unique modification to this putter is that it's center shaft. There are no center shaft Sonoma's in the wild. Especially ones that have been balanced perfectly to perform better than stock. Next up Soft Black Finish: Finally Bead Blast Finish:
April 20, 201311 yr Author What's the cost to get your putter redone by Golds Factory? It really depends on what you want to do to your putter. You can drop us an email or PM for a quote.
April 23, 201311 yr These mods are very tasteful with respect to the original design. I am curious to know how a mod by Master Sasaya performs better than an original Cameron. Is there a thread about his process of mapping a putter or designing a current model and making it better?
April 23, 201311 yr The design is the same. Improved milling, better weighting perhaps. It is not going to make more putts. It can give a more pleasing feel, plus it makes it one of a kind. In the end the performance really falls on the guy/girl wielding the handle....

May 12, 201311 yr Not sure but the weld looks weird to me. Like the shaft has been welded on and that's it. No finishing on the seam. Not my cup of tea. Just my 2 cents. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus What's wrong with it so we can adjust it next time? There's a hole made where he inserts the metal neck which is what the shaft is secured to then the final step which I like is he flattens the weld a bit by CNC milling on the face side of the weld.
May 12, 201311 yr I like a more smooth look. Don't really like to see that it has been welded. So smooth out the complete weld seam. But that is just my opinion. Others might like it the way it is.

Others might like it the way it is. Thats it?! OK yea Sasaya can do that no problem! It's an option. You and I are totally on the same page I prefer no weld but because I wanted to bring emphasis to the fact that Sonoma's don't come in center shaft I added it. Also I think most people actually like the weld.
