KiaMa Imola 8 (custom)

This custom KiaMa Imola 8 turns up in the record through a single, enthusiastic account rather than a catalog listing. thehackersparadise.com's write-up centers on a black milled face, and the reviewer there didn't hedge: "I bought a Kia Ma Imola 8 with the black milled face….I have never owned a putter this good. I have had a bunch and this one if far and above anything I have ever putted with." That's a strong claim, and it's worth reading as one owner's experience with one build rather than a verdict on the Imola line generally.

The same publication described the face as having an unbelievably soft feel and amazing feedback, a characterization worth noting as thehackersparadise.com's own reporting rather than anything verified independently. Between the two mentions, the throughline is the face treatment itself, the black milling that both distinguishes this custom 8 and seems to be doing most of the work in winning the reviewer over.
