Posted January 17, 20169 yr Introducing VM-Tech by Gold's Factory a putter and shaft insert made of stainless steel and while small it does a few very big things for putter performance & feel. The first is it increases the putter heads verticle MOI from neck to face, horizontal MOI measured from low on the front of the face to the furthest point back, face balance is measured heel to toe while Vertical MOI produces a top to bottom balance adding a little more distance for the same length stroke + more forward roll, but how could such a small piece of metal have such an effect on the Vertical MOI? well because this tiny part is 20 grams heavy which brings us to it's second advantage, your putter head is now heavier so this is not only a good thing for balance and feel but also a cost effective way to increase head weight. Finally when using a steel putter shaft it the VM-tech insert dampens and softens the feel as the shaft vibrates up into the hands this is an extra barrier reducing the harsher vibrations where the putter hosel meets the shaft. So in the end you get a greater Vertical MOI, + 20g weight, and softer feel with better roll. Taking this a step further gold's factory has created gold plated versions of the VM insert which are supposed to better for dampening vibration while adding a cool subtle gold band between the putter shaft and the hosel (pic not shown). The new VM-Tech insert by Gold's Factory sells for about a #100 in standard stainless and $150 gold plated. Please get in touch to modify your putter with this option by emailing [email protected]
January 18, 20169 yr Author It's not that simple there are two tip sizes used in putters 9.4mm and 9.0mm. Also the thickness of the inside of the shaft tip varies so it not only depends on shaft tip inner diameter but also the variance in the putters hosel. (Not always as stated) So yes we can sell them part only but your club maker has a high chance of making a mistake. Ordering 2pcs solves that though. Sasaya doesn't want returns for this.
January 18, 20169 yr Author Thought of something, if you can specify 9.0 or 9.4mm for sure and your using a Shimada or NSPro shaft we can check it out and reduce chances of error.
January 22, 20169 yr Would these work on the Dogatti pt135. Love to hear feedback on these. BTW Chris, could find the shimada shaft in the online store.
January 22, 20169 yr Looks like the system Ray Cook used to use. Looks like the hosel of my old Austin putter. And yes it works.
January 22, 20169 yr Author I am asking about if it works with the carbon Dogatti shaft. more pics in gold:
January 22, 20169 yr Author Sorry guys these do not work on carbon shafts, the hole is too narrow so the part would be prone to breakage.
