After posting and getting some direction, this came in today, another $20.00 ebay steal!.. I whipped it into shape and rolled a few at the practice green, feels pretty sweet!.. harkens back to my miniature golf days as a kid !, putting looks like it can become fun again, and with ABS intentions applied maybe I can get to single digit hdp. before the year is out! ā¦ Putting as always been a hit/ miss adventure in my game, and practicing it felt like a double helping of Thorazineā¦
Bent pretty easy to 58 deg. in my regular vise and a big closed end wrench properly applied ā¦ and a cool round leather grip already onā¦ ran out of lead tape but got it up to 17.5 ozā¦ Face measured about 7deg. loft with my non-expert protractor methodā¦close I hope to the chip-roller being discussed in the forumsā¦ Something else to to a little personal satisfaction from the do it yourself bench! Canāt wait to try a round with it !
Dale - apparently we think alike, I just got a Tour Spec. I a couple of weeks ago. I havenāt played a round with it as I have been playing an Acushnet Bulls-eye with a round grip lately.
The Wilson putter is in the bag now and I may try to use it Friday, in addition to the Bulls-eye.
BTW if you havenāt putted with an Acushnet Bulls-eye you really gotta try to get your hands on one. The soft brass feels incredible and it is pretty easy to square up to the target.
NIce info Kangaroo! I had a bullseye when I was a kid! Actually I have my eye on a Wilson 600 George Low SIgnature forged putterā¦ I like the looks of the smallish compact head, a few here at ABS have recommended it !
I discovered the WTS II earlier this year, and it is my favorite putter (the one in the bag!), though I play it unaltered. The simple (no offset) look when I set it up has helped me a lot, saved me strokes right from the start, without any practice effort on my part. And the ātouchā and āfeelā of this club is great as well, really sweet. Good luck with yours!
Thanks SF!.
Amazing how exciting this simple gear is ! The right tool for the jobā¦ no more no less !
I love being free from the Mega-Advertising and marketing campaigns of the big golf co.'s , and futile searching for the āmagicā fix club,
putters includedā¦that usually sets you back $200- $400.00 !! Added perks for old guys like me is the trip down memory lane and remembering
how fun it was with the old gear and just focusing on the game !
Sweet Apples !!
That looks like about a 1 ozā¦ slug!, Epoxy where would we be without it !!
Iāll have to "stealā the design and put a hunk on my Wilson!.. hope Lag doesnāt take mt to court on Patent
Infringement!
My post was a joke. When I saw that loose piece of āwhateverā on the carpet it reminded me of the story of a piece of lead tape falling off the back of Arnold Palmerās putter, supposedly he never felt the same about that putter after that.
Sugar!! now thatāll be a sweet clubā¦literally!!..
great job!
I could never go back to my āoldā analog T.V antennae- looking putter after getting ny Tour Spec dialed in,
love rolling them in with it !!
