A few weeks ago I posted that I had made my own putter over Christmas and after a few weeks of waiting I finally had time to build it and test it.
I mentioned that I made several different necks and in the end I have face balanced, 20-degrees of hang and low-torque options. As well as two sets of tungsten weights to try out. Because I made the necks the same length regardless of the balance I can use a single shaft to try everything.
I have a friend who works at Club Champion and I took my putter to get a SAM fitting done and when my friend tested mine vs his gamer mine performed better. Turns out he is right-eye dominant and the face-balanced plumbers neck helped him be more consistent than his double bend.
The process of researching, designing and machining them was a blast and if anyone has any questions shoot them my way!

Don’t show this to any PE firms!
That looks really nice and I imagine it will be super satisfying to 3 putt with a putter you designed and built yourself.
Have you calculated the cost of the build?
That is dope! Did you do the metal work yourself or order it to spec? I have often thought about doing something like this
i’ve thought about doing something very similar to this, basically modular design where you have dozens of parts and can configure it a million different ways, but the tinkerer in me would end up in the asylum given that amount of choice. my thought was to basically have a sandwich where you can change any layer in it, so you could build a blade or a mini mallet or a full mallet etc, with different necks and inserts and weights etc. would take a long time to design and honestly i can’t be bothered, but i thought it would be cool to sell a putter where you just get a pelican case full of parts and you build it however you like.
Looks like a Scotty and a lab had a baby 😂
Great looking putter
