akapur Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Picked this up a few months ago. It was in rough shape. The copper was chipping off and there were many dings in the head. Had it refinished. It now has a copper underlay and a new finish. The head weight was increased to 369grams and a Shimada shaft added with an Iomic grip.

akapur Posted February 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Stew that is the truth. This is a very soft feeling putter that has great balance. Glad I had it redone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eca Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 That looks amazing Ash. Is that a half shaft offset? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 There is just something about the finish on Yamada putters that have been to Golds. I really like them, the HM's as well, especially the older ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like them, the HM's as well, especially the older ones Craig you are exactly correct. Yamada's refinished by gold's are as close to perfect as you can come. This one has a copper underlay and so is soft as butter and rolls great. The finish is slick and the craftsmanship great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shankopotamus Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 His newer putters have a much deeper and wider milling I see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonbev78 Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Had a few putts with it tonight, balance is perfect and feel is nice, not too soft just right. Not a big fan of the thicker topline, I'll see how it goes this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+TourSpecGolfer Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 Had a few putts with it tonight, balance is perfect and feel is nice, not too soft just right. Not a big fan of the thicker topline, I'll see how it goes this weekend. thicker top lines are becoming a thing now days, almost necessary if you need a heavy head as it's the best and almost the only place to get the weight up on an anser design while performance wise it makes the ball roll straighter or the putter more forgiving.

Shankopotamus Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 Thicker topline also provides softer feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ygtyf Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 OK. I am new to this forum and read a lot of good things about the Yamadas. How do you guys find out if a second hand putter is authentic? I found a guy in AUS selling several left hand Yamadas for ~AUD175, are they real? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/LH-Yamada-Razor-Putter-/231535537931?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_15&hash=item35e897ef0b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mob Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 He has one feedback rating on eBay. That is very risky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonbev78 Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 For all you guys looking for a YAMADA, here is one on EBAY Australia, Burning copper handmade Samurai. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Yamada-Putter-/321737635371?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_15&hash=item4ae90eb62b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
