The Record
Written from the sources it cites · machine-drafted for the Community to correctThe Swan Neck is one edition of Fujimoto's Ryohei Handmade Forged Putter, distinguished within the line by its neck bend rather than by any change in material or process. fujimoto-golf.com reports that the putter is forged, bent, ground and polished by a single man, using the technique known as Hizukuri, and that it draws on the same steel material used in the maker's irons. None of this has been independently verified, and the figures here should be read as the publication's account rather than as confirmed fact.
The site also reports a heat treatment step distinct to this putter: annealing for 72 hours using a tempered straw ash barrel. Whether that step differs from other editions in the Ryohei line isn't something the record addresses, but it stands as one of the more specific manufacturing claims attached to this piece. Taken together, the Swan Neck reads as a hand-forged putter defined by its process as much as its shape, at least as far as fujimoto-golf.com has laid it out.
