I designed this putter after a certain special lak

I designed this putter after a certain special lake, and this piece of wood made it possible. I even had it in hand during the phone call where we designed it.

The surface of this quilted maple makes it look like there’s waves reflecting off the bottom. I dyed the acrylic rather than using powder, and it’s perfectly translucent. There’s even a small grotto section where a piece of wood popped up and made a cave. If only every putter came together this easily!

Any Star Wars fans out there? This was a really fun project. We went with a lego lightsaber for the alignment line, two suns on the back, and the Death Star still in construction on the bottom. Black quilted maple for the base.

I’m working on a lot of wedding putters right no

I’m working on a lot of wedding putters right now! I think there’s a lot of people who postponed in March and April that are finally tying the knot. What do you think of this wedding ring alignment? I especially love how the acrylic forms rivers between the pockets of acrylic. Such a natural, map-like feel to this beauty.

The Ohio State putter is finally headed out the do

The Ohio State putter is finally headed out the door! I went ahead and chamfered the back corners, while leaving the front corners rounded. The overall weight came out to 361 grams, and it putts like a dream.

I had a pretty good idea of how I was going to attempt this putter when I started it, but changed pretty much everything during the process. There’s 8 different acrylic pours, 6 different 3D prints (plus countless mistakes), and I even had to buy a new 3D printer just to make this all work. But she looks sick, and she’s on her way!

Gorgeous burled redwood in the Widowmaker shape, w

Gorgeous burled redwood in the Widowmaker shape, with a Corvette alignment line. This one lets the beauty of the wood take center stage. Would you rather have an all wood putter, or one with wood and acrylic?

We’re cranking hard on putters right now! I’ve got a ton of really complicated ones in the works that require multiple delicate acrylic pours to get just right. I can’t wait to show you how they turn out! And as always, follow along in the stories for daily progress updates.

This is the putter cover that comes standard with

This is the putter cover that comes standard with every custom putter. It’s got a strong “national forest” theme, and reminds you that “Only You Can Prevent Three Putts.” You can always upgrade to leather or a full exotic, too, but I don’t want anything basic and boring covering my flat sticks!

Day one with the new camera and it’s already dus

Day one with the new camera and it’s already dusty... but I’m gonna try to capture some longer form videos to show the full process of certain special putters and projects from start to finish. I post tons of stuff to my Instagram stories, but I think this YouTube format will allow me to tie everything into a nice little bow.

If you’ve got experience creating YouTube content, I’d love to hear about your workflows! I’m big on automation and efficiency, so I’ll spend a week learning something just to save 5 minutes per video. I’ve still got a wife and kids at home, and I’d like to see them every now and then 😂

The #positano putter is finally finished! It took

The #positano putter is finally finished! It took a lot of tries and experimentation to figure out a design that was going to look good, look like Positano, and actually be possible 😂 I decided to split the scene into the church, the greenery, the buildings, and the setting sun on the water. I then engraved everything but the lines between them, and used hot glue to separate the sections for each acrylic pour.

The final result definitely tends toward the abstract, but the top of the church leaves no doubt that this can only be Positano.

The Manhattan Beach pier as an alignment line, wit

The Manhattan Beach pier as an alignment line, with Tajin embedded as the roof, and waves added to the ocean acrylic. The bottom of this putter is the Chesapeake Bay picture I posted several days ago.

I wasn’t 100% sure how the waves would turn out using this method, but it’s definitely good enough to add to my capability list. Normally waves are done with acrylic and blown back using a heat gun, but that’s a little bit too imprecise for my needs. So I took a wave image and laser engraved it into the acrylic, and then poured a color-shifting white acrylic over it. Worked like a charm!

We’re just about full on custom putter orders right now... literally don’t have any more boxes to put projects in... but the good news is that I’ll be shipping out several putters tomorrow, and we’re cranking through them at a solid pace! I’m taking lots of Christmas orders right now, so if you’re thinking of getting one as a present, don’t wait! It will require an expedited order soon!

If you’ve ever wondered what one of these putter

If you’ve ever wondered what one of these putters looks like at step one, this is it. These are wood burls, which are natural but rare deformations on trees. They create wild patterns of wood grain and surface bumps and valleys. I stabilize these pieces to make them harder and weatherproof, and then pour acrylic over everything to add color and depth to the piece. When you order a custom putter, I hand-select the perfect piece of wood that will create the exact look you want. You can easily see how no two putters can ever be exactly the same! It’s just physically impossible.

It’s been a long time since this little man could jump in puddles, and it just feels so right. Thankful for the rain and soggy doughnuts!

Exotic headcover and grip set. Real gator in candy

Exotic headcover and grip set. Real gator in candy red, which is my client’s favorite color. Black gator patches for his woods. He’s definitely going to have the flashiest bag on the course!

If you want something exotic for your bag, shoot me a DM. We make each cover custom, so any color and skin combo is likely possible!

The colors on this custom project turned out absol

The colors on this custom project turned out absolutely stunning. The first time I tried to make this block, I forgot to turn on the pressure chamber, so the acrylic was full of bubbles. Whoops.

But the second block I made looks even better than the first one would have. My second ball in golf is a scratch player, and evidently my second craftsman in putter making is the same 😂

I’ve got several really cool projects in the works right now that are gifts for people who follow this page, so I’ve got to wait to post anything on them. If I take too many more of these gift orders, I won’t be able to post much of anything 😂 Hopefully one is headed your way soon!

Chesapeake Bay means a lot of things to a lot of p

Chesapeake Bay means a lot of things to a lot of people. But the one thing that goes hand in hand with it is @oldbay_seasoning, which is why I sprinkled some into the pour as it cured. There’s not so much that it looks goofy, but just enough to add some spice and flavor to the story of this putter.

The hardest part of designing these custom putters isn’t coming up with ideas. The hardest part is weaving them together into something beautiful, coherent, and clean, so that it’s not just covered in random logos and text. This image will beg for a story, and lead to conversations about my client’s home and past life that no amount of stamping could ever do.

When you’re ready to get a custom putter on the books, shoot me a DM. We come up with these ideas together, usually over the phone. It’s not something that happens with you selection options on a website. The spark happens in conversation.

Some projects are definitely more difficult than o

Some projects are definitely more difficult than others. Every single different color on this putter required a new 3D printed mold. In fact, I got a 3D printer just for this job. But I’m so close to the final result, and I think it’s gonna be worth the wait...

You can see the weights we put in each putter. This likely won’t be the final configuration we go with, but it gives us a good idea of what’s possible with the layout.

I love the clean wood and gorgeous acrylic on this

I love the clean wood and gorgeous acrylic on this one! It’s made from a real baseball bat, with blue acrylic poured over the top. Then we went with a home plate alignment line, and a nod to the Roger Maris home run record on the bottom.

If you’re looking for an anniversary present, and your spouse loves golf but is impossible to buy for, then shoot me a DM! We’ll wrap a story into a putter, and you’ll have a gift that will be remembered and talked about for years to come.

Getting a little bit better at acrylic pour art ea

Getting a little bit better at acrylic pour art each day. My client for this project wanted a tuna fishing theme for his putter, so we went with a deep blue sea acrylic, and then cut a tuna fish into the acrylic. I poured the blue and silver body at the same time, and then came back for the yellow fins. There’s so much life in the colors as they blend together. Still have a bit more to do on the bottom, but this one will be ready for the course soon!

The natural canyon in the putter follows the arc of the Widowmaker wings so perfectly, with a little knot right at the alignment line. It’s like this piece of wood was destined to be a putter...

Anybody up for some cherry pie??? To get this loo

Anybody up for some cherry pie???

To get this look, I have to wait for the acrylic to just start to jell up, or else it will be all run off before it cures. I also have to vacuum the acrylic to get all the bubbles out, or else it will turn cloudy before it sets.

After this part is done, I’ll be pouring a clear acrylic with some red wisps, and then adding camera lenses after we shape the putter. Can’t wait to see this one finished!

Any deadheads out there? These dancing bears worke

Any deadheads out there? These dancing bears worked out super well as an alignment line, and the tie dye pattern in the wood makes for some wild, unpredictable color patterns. Love the quilt, too!

When you pull out a Bradley Putter, somebody usual

When you pull out a Bradley Putter, somebody usually asks about it. And when that happens, I like the story to be about your life more than my company. The lucky guy who got this putter helped coordinate a golf league over the summer, so he’ll get to talk about that. He also owns a real estate company, so we threw in some nods to that as well. The key alignment line just felt right to drive the ball into its home!

Lefty love! Maple Luna with a gorgeous, deep green

Lefty love! Maple Luna with a gorgeous, deep green acrylic. Another one of the starting blocks from a few weeks ago that will be heading out the door shortly! Custom projects can take anywhere from 4 weeks to 4 months, but putters from starting blocks are so much faster since the block is already made, and I’m not having to make multiple blocks to get a look just right. Hoping to have a few more starting blocks available next week!
