Step 1: Milling the Head The head is machined from a solid billet of 303 stainless steel. The six head shapes are machined via a CNC (Computer Numerically Controlled) vertical machine center. Heads are machined to different thickness to accommodate for different head weights offered in the system Step 2: Hosel The hosel is either turned or machined in specific length, weights, and offsets to accommodate the variables within the fitting system. “S” hosel’s are turned, flatted on each side, bent to offset, and then bent to correct lie angle using custom made bending fixtures. Hosel’s are stamped with initials and or makers name. Step 3: Attaching the Hosel Step 4: Blend the radius This is where all the radius lines on the perimeters of the head and hosel are blended. To put it another way, your putter is being smoothed—but very, very carefully. The putter head is machine-milled, so the machined edges are worked to create uniformity and continuity the human eye picks up on. But I don’t want the precise geometry and character buffed out of the head, either. It takes years of learning to use the wheel so that this process goes just right. Step 5: Loft The putter face is milled to the requested loft and face dot and stamping patterns are placed according to customer requirements. We do not bend to make the loft because that changes the bounce and the characteristics of the putter Step 6: Create line combinations Again your putter is customized, this time with the combination of lines on the head that you specify. You can have three lines on top, one line on the back—whatever you want. The head is indexed and a small ball-end mill is used to precisely etch the lines. Step 7: Create the Maker’s Mark As an artist, who’s proud of his creation, I include a silver Maker’s Mark on your putter. A small hole is milled in the putter and a piece of silver inserted in the cavity. My initials are hand-stamped into the silver piece, for a touch of pride and personalization. Step 8: Buff and polish By now your putter has been handled, hammered and heated enough that it’s ready for one more round of polishing. It’s also time to remove nicks that might have been created—spending quality time to make sure your putter looks great. Step 9: Adjust loft and lie Even with the precise geometry machined into the hosel and head, everything is still checked, and usually a tweak is made to get the exact loft and lie. This way I know your putter is set up perfectly. Step 10: Sandblast the putter head A blasting cabinet is used to put a fine glass-bead finish on your putter. This gives the putter a clean, non-glare finish. Step 11: Install the counterweight This is a beneficial feature that is unique to my putters. A counterweight is added on the butt of the shaft to help balance the putter without adding more weight to the head. The counterweight also aids your sense of feel with the putter. Step 12: Paint, add shaft and grip We then paint the logo and any customization as well as line combinations. Then the shaft is connected to the hosel and your grip installed. We use a special 5 blend ‘Elastomer’ grip from Iomic. It is then weighed and fine tuned to lie and loft to ensure putter quality control.
