Story Putters
No club elicits more questions than a putter, and no putter begs more questions than a Bradley. Every time you step on the course, someone will ask about it, because it looks so different from anything they’ve ever seen. And when they do, you get to tell whatever story you’ve crafted into the piece. You could incorporate the colors of your business logo, send in wood from your home on the lake, or incorporate the flag of your home country. And when you drop a 30 ft birdie, people won’t be able to believe that it’s handmade from wood and acrylic.
Browse the website for inspiration, and then work with Bradley to place their order. He will schedule a phone call with you to collaboratively create a design, incorporating new materials and methods that may never have been done before. When you’re ready to talk about what’s possible, just reach out. Bradley usually responds within an hour. He’s on Pacific time in Oregon, USA.
How Does it Feel?
Solid and responsive. There’s a few things at play here. First is the drastically different densities of the stabilized wood and perimeter-placed internal lead weights, which provides a high Moment of Inertia (MOI, over 8000 g/cm2 on the Widowmaker, compared to 4500 for a Futura X), giving surprising forgiveness.
Second, symmetry of these weights gives you the feel and responsiveness of a blade. Center hits feel soft and effortless, while even small mis-hits feel sharper in your hands. The higher MOI keeps the ball mostly on-line, but the feedback keeps you honest.
Picture that you’re sitting above a pond, and there’s rocks coming out of the water symmetrically around you. If you drop a pebble right in the middle of all of them, the waves will hit all of the rocks at the same time, and it will create a beautiful pattern. If you drop a pebble off center, the wave will hit some rocks before it hits the others, and the whole surface will look chaotic.
MLB Bat Putter
Jeff sent us one of Jorge Soler's broken bats, and we stabilized it, added clear acrylic, added weights, and turned it into a gamer.
Filipino Flag Putter
Kenny had us make three flag putters for him and his brothers. We poured translucent yellow acrylic in the sun spot so that it would shine when lifted up to the sun. The blue and red parts are wood, while the white is acrylic.
Military Success Putter
Jeff had a putter made that he loved, but then he received a special coin for his achievements in his career after it was completed. So he sent us the coin and the putter, and we placed it right on the bottom.
Gemstone Putter
John sent us gemstones from his personal collection, as well as some camphor wood. We embedded the gemstones in the cracks of the wood, and poured clear acrylic over the top to seal the oily wood.
Crashed Boat Putter
Jesse owned a hydroplane boat that got destroyed in a crash. He sent us wood from the hull that we incorporated as the base cap, and matched the colors of his boat in the wood and acrylic.
Chicago Putter
Joseph sent is two pieces of wood from his home in Chicago, which we used for the top and bottom pieces of his putter. We sandwiched them around a layer of white acrylic, lasered 4 red stars on the back, and engraved the skyline on the top and bottom of the putter before pouring over it with blue acrylic.
Russell Wilson Yankee Baseball Bat
The Seahawks QB played Spring Training with the Yankees. He sent us a game-used bat, which we made into a putter. It sold at charity auction for $5,000.
SAIC Retirement Putter
When the CEO of SAIC retired, the team called us up to make a special going-away present. We matched the company colors in the wood and acrylic, and incorporated one of their pins as the alignment line.
Duck Feather Putter
Mark sent us some feathers from a mallard he had taken last hunting season. We laid them over walnut and poured a clear acrylic to seal them in place. The colors dance and shift as its moved in the sunlight.
Corporate Milestone Putter
Brian wanted to make a putter for his partner that commemorated a big milestone they had just reached in their company. We incorporated colors from their brand, as well as their company logo as the alignment line.
Ruby the Dog's Putter
Scott loves his dog, so we engraved her howling into the bottom of his putter. He can't always bring her with him on the course, but now he'll be reminded of her every time he's on the green.
Aspen Putter
Hannah got married in Aspen, Colorado, so she wanted a putter for her new husband made from Aspen wood. We tracked it down, incorporated their wedding colors, and made something that will remind them of their special day forever.
Memorial Putter
This putter was made for a charity tournament that remembered Cheryl W. Snead. The winner of the tournament gets to take this home as the trophy each year.
Pinehurst Brewing Putter
Cody sent us wood from a Pinehurst Brewing barrel, and we filled the hole with a golden acrylic to look like beer flowing out.
Sea Turtle Putter
David loves sea turtles, and had us design an acrylic pattern in the wood that would always remind him of his favorite creatures. Did you know that sea turtles always have 13 sections on their shell?
Ocean Waves and Walnut Alignment Putter
Sean wanted a putter that looked like ocean waves crashing on the shore, with walnut from his home course incorporated as well. The walnut made a gorgeous, contrasting alignment line.
Father and Son Koa Putter #1
Sean sent a piece of Koa from Hawaii, and we made two matching putters with it. One for him, and one for his dad. They will always share that special bond on the course.
Grandpa's Ukulele Putter
Sean found an old, broken ukulele in his garage that his grandfather used to play for him. It was beyond saving as a uke, but we took all of the elements and crafted a putter that will tell his grandpa's story for years to come.
Barn Wood Putter
Kris' dad grew up on a farm with a barn. She got ahold of an extra board, sent a foot of it our way, and we turned it into a Luna XL as a gift for him. The alignment is a copy of the weather vane on top of the barn that her dad shot when he was 5 and got in the biggest trouble of his life.
Silver Dollar Putter
Eric received a gift certificate from his son for his birthday. He sent us a silver dollar from his collection, and we embedded it in our Argo putter. Now it's Eric's moneymaker on the green.
Cell Phones for Soldiers Putter
Rob wanted a special putter to auction at the Cell Phones for Soldiers golf tournament. We deconstructed dozens of old cell phones and incorporated little elements from the most iconic cell phones under the acrylic.
Father and Son Koa Putter #2
Sean sent a piece of Koa from Hawaii, and we made two matching putters with it. One for him, and one for his dad. They will always share that special bond on the course.
Saddam's Chair Putter
A veteran sent me fabric and wood from a chair he had taken from Saddam's Palace in Iraq. We pleated the fabric around a puck of weights, poured clear acrylic over the top, and used the wood for the face and bottom. His first round out with it was at a tournament on a private course, and after the round, he was asked to tell the whole audience about his service and the putter.
Manzanita Gold Putter
Brian had a manzanita wood burl he wanted turned into a putter, with streaks of gold included. We gold foiled the cracks to make it look like there's a seam inside.
Dad's Retirement Putter
Cory sent us a special hexacomb that his dad designed during his career as an engineer. We created a hole inside the Luna XL design, installed the hexacomb, and covered it all with an orange-tinted acrylic. Now he can show off his handiwork every time he plays golf during retirement.
The Bradley Guarantee
We know you’ve probably never hit a Bradley putter before. But that shouldn’t stop you from customizing your own. We’re able to match the specs of your current putter, or work with you to make an even better fitting putter than you’ve ever had. If you receive the putter and it doesn’t feel right, we’ll tweak it until it does. But most of our clients say that the putter feels even better than it looks, so we’re pretty confident that you’ll love it.
We even guarantee that you’ll love the look of the putter. If you ask us to make a certain color wood and acrylic combo, but it doesn’t come out like you envisioned, we’ll start over. Due to the nature of wood and acrylic, it’s impossible to know what the final surface will look like until we’re done. So if we’re totally finished with your putter, but you don’t love the look, we’ll start over. Even if you receive the putter, play a round or two with it, and don’t love it, we’ll start over. There’s no risk to buying a Bradley putter, because we guarantee that you’ll love it. And if we can’t make you happy, we’ll give you a full refund.
