When my client said she wanted to have piano keys

When my client said she wanted to have piano keys off the back of her putter, I figured I could complete the look just with a mold and two acrylic pours. I first tried using black UV resin for the keys, but it reacted really oddly to the mold material and didn’t cure well. Then I poured our normal black resin first and let it cure, followed by a white pour. But the white keys all looked formless and bland. So we added the black lines with our laser engraver, and it completed the look. I have a feeling I’ll be using the mold and laser process together a lot more now!

There’s so many hidden personal touches on this

There’s so many hidden personal touches on this putter! The guy it was made for owns a tractor dealership in the south, so I created a field scene with a tractor on it, put his dog in the driver seat, added an important number as the model number, and used an icon from his alma mater as the alignment line. It took quite a few back and forths to get the design exactly right, but it was worth it in the end.

This kind of artwork is so well suited for our acrylic engraving method. Couldn’t be happier with how it turned out!

Have you checked out the new styles and custom builder on my website? I’m still making improvements and adding styles, but I’m already having people feel comfortable enough to put their order in without a phone call, which means I’m doing something right! I’m always happy to help with the process, but with how many putters we’re planning on doing this year, some added efficiency is appreciated!

When a client wants a hockey themed putter, I only

When a client wants a hockey themed putter, I only have one speed. Hockey stick wood face, hockey puck behind that, white acrylic as the ice, and clear acrylic on top.

I’ve now made it really easy to get a putter similar to one you’ve seen before. There’s a Style section on my website, and you can simply choose the style you want, customize your shape, grip, shaft, and specs, and add any engravings you like. No more guessing how to design it with the custom builder! But if you want a design that you’ve never seen before, then there’s still the custom builder, and we can hop on the phone to make the design a reality.

The ultimate “duck dog” putter. I engraved a s

The ultimate “duck dog” putter. I engraved a silhouette of Drake and his dog Mac on the bottom, and on top I embedded a small duck feather, a duck band as the alignment, and sprinkled some of Mac’s hair throughout the acrylic. Because honestly, a good dog’s hair gets everywhere.

I’ve been wanting to do a coral-themed putter for a long time, and finally got the chance with @eyecatchingcoral. I thought I could 3D print molds for the coral, but that didn’t work. So I hand carved each piece out of acrylic and placed it under clear acrylic. It took forever, but was so satisfying!

We’re flying on projects right now. I’m currently having to stay home with my son for a few months because of his immunocompromised state, but I’m still taking orders over the phone during the day and working on putters at night. I’m able to prep blocks and artwork for Brett to work on during the day, and it’s been really efficient. Lots of cool projects in the works! Currently taking a couple orders per day, and keeping up with the workload. Roughly a month lead time right now. Shoot me a DM if you’re ready to get your project on the books!

There were a lot of putters I couldn’t show because they were Christmas presents. Expect a lot more posts over the next week! Here’s a project where my client’s husband’s ring broke, so we placed the pieces as alignment lines on a maple burl base. He had proposed at crater lake, so we engraved the view from their spot on the bottom. It’s just blue acrylic and burned wood, with Wizard island left as untouched wood. I love the way the burl wood looks like trees and the natural landscape!

We’ve come a long way in 5 years. What started i

We’ve come a long way in 5 years. What started in a garage has grown into an epic shop space in downtown Grants Pass, with clients and friends all over the world. I’ve made putters for professional athletes, members of royal families, millionaires, and college kids. After spending a couple years trying to figure out which direction to take the business, I settled on custom projects with special stories, rather than simple projects based on colors and a single engraving alone. But today, I’m reviving the original projects. Go to bradleyputters.com/shop/founders, and you can get a Bradley Putter with whatever color acrylic you like, in whatever shape you want, with a simple text engraving, glossed, with a head cover and ball marker, for $495, normally a $760 package. Thank you for supporting my business and helping me live out a dream job!

So many stories wrapped up in this memorial putter

So many stories wrapped up in this memorial putter for Brooklyn the dog. Since their hair got everywhere anyways, I incorporated it into the acrylic. I included rocks from a favorite play spot, and the dog tag on the bottom, as well as the Brooklyn skyline. I took a piece of the collar and set it in acrylic to embed in the repair tool, and then set the rabies tag for the ball marker. While Brooklyn may not be running in fields anymore, she’ll be remembered every time my client steps on the course.

My client for this project wanted something specia

My client for this project wanted something special for her husband who is a union steel worker. I’ve got an unhealthy obsession with a good “walk the cup” weld, so I 3D printed a mold and played with color layers to get an alignment line. Took multiple tries, but I’m stoked with the result. Then on the bottom, I wanted a torch heating up his Local 433 union, so we played with orange and silver to make it look hot to the touch.

I’m back to full time putter making, and Ryan is doing really well. He still can’t go to daycare or be in large groups, but we’ve got a schedule that works and we’re flying through putters now! There’s still a possibility to get a putter by Christmas, as long as it’s not a super complicated job. Shoot me a DM if you want to get one on the books!

Fun project for @jackiebradleyjr. He wanted a Man

Fun project for @jackiebradleyjr. He wanted a Man on Fire themed putter, so I torched the top and poured clear acrylic, and then put Creasy Bear on the bottom. The cartoonish artwork came out perfectly!

We’re back to full capacity now that a new shaft supplier has been sorted out. We’re currently shafting all of the past projects, and are already working on new projects.

Ryan update: Other than taking a lot of meds and frequent doc phone calls and lab draws, Ryan is back to normal. We’re still hoping to get some more kidney function back, but he’s made a lot of progress so far. I’m spending a bit more time at home with him than I used to, but it’s not going to slow us down much at all. We kept sales numbers low for the month we were in the hospital, meaning we’re not far away from being totally caught up. Planning on 1 month lead times moving forward!

My client Breanna commissioned this putter for her

My client Breanna commissioned this putter for her fiancé Patrick. She sent me one of his old baseball bats and let us know they would be getting married near Pebble Beach, so we engraved hole 7 into the bottom. Here’s what she had to say about it:

“He loves it!!! It’s been the hit of the weekend, we’re putting around at the Hay right now cause he didn’t want to wait to use it and someone already stopped him to ask where he got it. We may walk down to 7 to take a pic of the bottom in front of it, if we do I’ll send another pic. Unreal job. It’s even more incredible in person. Cannot thank you enough!”

You’ve only got a little more time to get your Christmas order in! Shoot me a DM to get your project started.

Quick description of what happened to my 4 year old son Ryan and the plan moving forward.

My little 4 year old boy Ryan is in the hospital right now with kidney issues. He was flown on a plane from southern Oregon to Portland Thursday night for the best pediatric ICUs on the west coast, where they were planning to do dialysis to save his kidneys. Thankfully his body kept working well enough to stave that off, and he’s currently on the mend with support from brilliant doctors and caring nurses. We’ll know early next week whether this is acute or chronic, and will be up in Portland for at least a week while his body heals. Thanks to everyone who has sent encouraging messages during this difficult time and prayed for my family and his health! We’re lucky enough to have family nearby, and will be staying in the Ronald McDonald house for the foreseeable future.

My client just received this putter today. Here was his first message:

“Got the putter. Could not wait until tomorrow to roll it so I went to a practice green. This thing is buttery soft. Your craftsmanship is truly fantastic. I have been working on my putting a bit in anticipation of putting this putter in my bag but man this thing really brings something more to the equation. I am so glad I went with you over any of the usual “fancy” brands. I came to you for the customization but I am beyond amazed with the performance of the putter man. Thanks so much for making this!

Real test is tomorrow on the course but I dropped more 8+ foot putts with this thing than I have practicing all summer. What I missed was inside a foot. I have always seen your customers say “this putter made me putt better” and I always wondered if it was just that they started practicing more. But I totally get it now.”

I tend to focus more on the art than the performance, because anybody can recognize the beauty of these. But just know that they are 100% gamers too. You will want to take yours to the course because the feel and performance is unlike any other putter out there. It just happens to be gorgeous and completely customized to you.

There was a time that I thought a Maryland flag would be impossible to put on a putter. That time is long gone. Boundaries have been pushed every week for almost 5 years, and there’s no limit to the designs we can create now. My favorite projects are the ones where someone says “I don’t know if this is possible, but…” When you’re ready to get a custom putter on the books, don’t be afraid to ask for something crazy!

I’ve been making putter for @artsmansport for a few years now. They get ahold of storied basketball courts, and I turn them into putters. You can see the groove from the floor installation in the back of this Luna.

This is wood from the national championship final four court for @bayloruniversity. It’s always such an honor to get to work on special pieces like this!

We’ve done a lot of flags over the years! For the Philippines one, we drilled a hole in the white acrylic and filled it with translucent yellow so that it would glow when held up to the sun.

I feel like some of our biggest advancements in capabilities have come from trying to figure out how to make some of these. The Vermont flag got us started on the wild ride of detailed acrylic engravings. The UK flag was just tricky for the sake of being tricky. I had to hand sand each piece until every angle was perfect. But every one has been worth the effort when finished!

What flag would you want for your custom putter project? I’ve got a lot of projects about to start, so if you want to get a putter sooner rather than later, now is the best time to get it on the books!

Throwback to one of my favorite putters ever. This

Throwback to one of my favorite putters ever. This is a @vol_football putter where I first poured orange acrylic on black wood. Then I had to map the location of the natural edge to my laser engraving software so that we could add a white checkerboard that fits perfectly into the wood. I always love when a subtle effect can look so natural and striking.

I’m cranking back up to full speed now that my wife is settled into a smooth rhythm at home with the kids. We’ve sent off a lot of putters recently and have several more heading off this week, so I’ve got room on the books for your custom putter! Shoot me a DM and let’s get your project started!
