KP1

The KP1 is milled, per kingstonputters.com, out of one solid block of the highest grade German stainless steel available in the world, with a face described the same way, in German Stainless Steel. The maker's site lists a head weight of 350 grams, 3 degrees of loft, and 71 degrees of lie, with loft and lie customizable by plus or minus 4 degrees. Length is listed as custom. Finish options run to raw, bead blasted satin, torched bronze or a dark bronze at no extra cost, with a matte black finish available for an extra $75 and adding 4 weeks to the build time.

Kingstonputters.com describes the shape as a slightly refined shape versus previous models, with more radius on the back bumpers, which places the KP1 as a variation on an existing head rather than a standalone design. The face carries a standard milling pattern that the maker's site says grips the ball tightly and ensures the truest of rolls, with a smooth milling option offered separately for a soft feel and Tour only look. Sightline options listed include blank, a site-dot on the top line, a site-circle on the topline, a site-line on the topline, and a site-line on the flange, with the maker's page noting no alignment aid as standard and customizable sight-line configurations available.

Community opinion on the KP1 echoes the maker's own language on feel, with praise for a soft yet solid feel, the truest of rolls, and a Tour only look attributed to the smooth milling. Kingstonputters.com's own description similarly points to an extremely soft, yet solid feel as the result of that finish. The two accounts line up on the character of the putter, even if one is the maker describing its own work and the other is opinion from elsewhere.
