The Record
Written from the sources it cites · machine-drafted for the Community to correctThe 70 HB is a blade with a wood laminate rear body, according to oteythree.com, which describes the design as intended to refine weight distribution while presenting what the publication calls "an elegant, classic visual." That laminate section sits behind a brass insert, reported by the same source as finely milled to deliver, in its words, "dependable, solid feedback while promoting a true roll with every stroke." Dual lead weights beside the insert are said to stabilize the head's center of gravity, per oteythree.com's reporting.
The rest of the build follows the same hand-built approach the publication attributes to the maker. A hickory shaft, individually heat-dried, hand-turned, and lacquer-sealed against moisture and warping, carries a leather grip wrapped by hand, described as delivering "tactile feedback, secure control, and a vintage aesthetic." The hosel is offset, meant according to oteythree.com to encourage a forward hand position and a smoother path through impact. The 70 HB is offered in 34, 35, and 36 inch lengths for both right and left hand players, and oteythree.com places its manufacture in Selma, Alabama, tying it to production the publication says has continued since 1946.
Community opinion on oteythree.com calls the 70 HB "not an ornament," but "an instrument of precision for those who demand direct feedback, durability, and intentional craftsmanship in every putt." Broader Community notes echo that read, pointing to direct feedback, durability, and intentional craftsmanship as the putter's defining traits. Within the 70 HB line itself, the wood laminate rear body and brass insert stand as the two features most consistently singled out, the elements that separate this release's feel and look from a plain blade.
