Where can I get one made? I am a Junior Golfer 17 sponsored by leadbetter and need a serious putter. I am going to try to qualify for the US Open and US Amature and need it within the next few months. Anyone know someone who makes them or where I could get one made?

Byron Morgan

Byron@byronputters.com

He'll make one as serious as you want.

Awsome. So far I sent david slighter and byron morgan a message. How much money do you think i'm looking at ?

How much? All of your allowance and then some. But it'll be worth it. Good luck!

How much around? I'm looking for something like the Paul Lawarie one from David Slighter

I think a Byron handmade starts in the $1500 area, but don't quote me.

How about davids because i'm leaning towards david's no doubt

David Mills at T.P. Mills can make you a nice Hand Made. PM Jay Green at Glenwayputters or take a look at wwwtpmillsputters.com.

I think you had better talk price with the makers and/or their representatives.

FYI - it's Tom Slighter, David Mills, and Byron Morgan.

I doubt you need a hand made putter so I would not worry about the above quoted $1,500 price. What putter or style of putter do you currently use and what style of putter do you want?

SCotty Cameron New Port 2. I want something similar but something that is just appealing something that I'm in love with. I want the putter to be the best looking thing in the world so I am more confident, and more cocky with it. I want stampings and just some other things I want.

jr · « **Reply #14 on:** March 11, 2010, 05:45:37 pm »

If I were in your shoes and you are set on an Anser II style head shape, I would check out the Byron Morgan section and look at the 006 and the 007. I think the options for material, custom weight and stampings would be what you are looking for.

golflover230 · « **Reply #15 on:** March 11, 2010, 05:48:22 pm »

Awsome. Cool thanks

Venno · « **Reply #16 on:** March 11, 2010, 09:33:42 pm »

IF you are interested in Bettinardi like the ones below (same exact headshape as the Bettinardi used by #1 Putter on tour Brian Gay) let me know! I have a few in stock.

golflover230 · « **Reply #17 on:** March 12, 2010, 06:19:06 am »

what does the bottom of that putter look like

Venno · « **Reply #18 on:** March 12, 2010, 07:13:34 am »

Both of the tour versions I have, have completely blank soles with a sound slot.

I have ordered this exact putter quite a few times. None of them are still around, lol.

I live on Long Island. Is there any putter maker in this area that could make an original at a reasonable price ?? Any recommendations

jr · « **Reply #21 on:** March 12, 2010, 11:25:43 am »

Just curious as to why some people feel the need to have an original design made to order? With all the models out there and all the custom options you can have done, I find it hard to understand why a custom design is needed. Also, "reasonable" is a "price" that is way different for everyone.

For anyone that thinks they want or need a custom original design I would suggest that the first thing they need to do is to go to a professional and get fitted. That is the only way you would know what specific custom options you need. I would think the money you spend on a professional fitting would be much better for a persons game than going out buying a custom designed one of a kind putter that may or may not fit your needs.

I think there may be some confusion over a true handmade versus a custom made putter.

True handmades are expensive and require loads of time. They are milled with no computer work and the maker shapes the putter by using a mill and his experience.

Customs are better priced and offer choice of stamps, finishes, etc. They start off as a base model milled by a computer then customized by the maker to the customer's specs. Portions are finished by hand, but most of the work is done by a computer controlled mill. These are what you see on tour and around here the majority of the time.

Good explanation!

golflover230, it looks like the posts here are basically the same thing as I just sent you in a PM. We are happy to take a block of carbon steel and hand mill you a putter if that is what you want. Based on the information you given here, I suggest a 006, but that is just a starting point. There are lots of decisions to make after that - material, neck, toe-hang, head weight, finish, stamping, shaft, grip, etc... You have my contact info. I am ready when you are.

Here are some that we have made

Almost all of these also have the added benefit of having adjustable weighting.

I would eagerly recommend Gene Nead. He made mine for me. The putter is even better than the man himself and they are both beyond reproach in all regards. My avatar is a picture of it.
