Posted February 10, 201510 yr 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.
February 10, 201510 yr Author Stew that is the truth. This is a very soft feeling putter that has great balance. Glad I had it redone
February 10, 201510 yr Author That looks amazing Ash. Is that a half shaft offset? Slightly. See extra pics.
February 10, 201510 yr 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

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.
February 11, 201510 yr 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.

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.
April 19, 20159 yr 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
April 28, 20159 yr 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
