Daytona

The Daytona name in our files traces through the Rossa TP era, credited by thehackersparadise.com to designer Kia Ma, and it shows up in two forms: the standard Daytona and a custom KiaMa Daytona edition. There's no dated arc of releases to walk here beyond that pairing, but the two entries tell a small story of a shape that got personal enough to earn its designer's name in the title.

The custom KiaMa Daytona is the version that drew attention. thehackersparadise.com called it, in an owner's own words, "maybe the best putter on the market," with "a much softer feel than the SCs" and lines the writer found "beautiful." Our record also carries the publication's note on feel, an "unbelievably soft face," which lines up with that owner's impression rather than contradicting it. That's a rare case where the community opinion and the editorial characterization point the same direction, both crediting the putter's face feel as its standout trait against the Scotty Cameron comparison that seems to hang over it.

What separates the two rows in our record is customization. The base Daytona stands as the stock version of the shape, while the KiaMa Daytona carries the "custom KiaMa Daytona" designation per thehackersparadise.com, suggesting a builder's touch applied to the same underlying lines. Whether that means a different face milling, finish, or something else isn't spelled out in what we hold, but the naming convention itself, tying a tour shape to an individual customizer, is the throughline worth noting across the two releases.
