The Record
Written from the sources it cites · machine-drafted for the Community to correctAccording to shop.torquegolf.com, this Swan Neck was forged from altered #2 iron forgings, with the neck itself shaped from an iron neck into the swan profile. The same source traces its origin to a request from a western golfer at Kobe harbor, who asked Minobu Fujimoto for a face-balanced model. That specification reportedly moved the head away from toe hang and into complete face-balance.
Community opinion on shop.torquegolf.com holds that the putter's success came by word of mouth, and that it did a great deal for Fujimoto's standing, with the site crediting it for the respect he built among factories in the Ichikawa town. That account frames the Swan Neck as a career turning point rather than just another model in the line, though it remains a single retailer's telling of the story.
