nobmontana Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 (edited) Just missed on opportunity on Yahoo Japan auction the other day for a P102 in SM490A It has stuck in my head with an urge to get one! Would be just as happy with Carbon Steel or SUS303. These are older models probably dating back to 2008 or 2009. I believe collaboration models also existed with Dance With Dragon and Gauge Design around the same time. Thanks!

needmoregolf Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 SM490A!?? I've become a total addict, wanting to try more stuff with this material. Let me know if you source one, Nob, and how it ends up working for you. If no good, sign me up on the wait list ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in the days, I think Gold's putters were really rare. I actually have one T102 in JIS SUS 303 and I think it is the best looking and feeling anser head ever. I just want another one hopefully in SM490A if you like SM490A there is currently a Kitada putter head in SM490A wtth a Black Boron finish on the Yahoo JP Auc site now. Some of us in the last few years have tried Kitada heads and liked them. Their heads are actually not bad and they use top notch material but logo and lettering are rather hideous :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobmontana Posted February 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 If you get rid of your Yamada Samurai, I want 1st crack! I will remember that Steve. :) Knowing that it's possibly the last brand new burning copper Samurai putter on earth, ( until Yamada-san decides he wants to make more, that is... ) so far I have been reluctant to even unwrap the plastic on the leather grip.

I hope he comes back to his senses and makes another run of the Samurai. New in plastic double your money easy on that baby! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
