Rolled Face Putter

[DennisMiller]

I had quite a bit of store credit with 2nd Swing, an online used club dealer. I spent most of it and with just a little left, went looking for crazy cheap stuff.

One thing I found was a putter made by a company called Teardrop. It was apparently bankrupted, but has now been bought out and resurrected, making a line of modern putters in the $300-$400 range.

BUT, what I bought was a really old model from 1992, what amounts to a somewhat deep flanged blade with a rolled face... for the princely sum of $9.99 US.

Ugly and goofy as it is, this crazy thing has incredible feel off the face and rolls the ball more smoothly than anything else I have. I was so impressed, I bought one for my grandson.



I think you can see why I'm thinking about painting it.

My grandson got his yesterday and new to golf as he is, was highly impressed with the feel of the ball off the face, unlike what he had for a putter before. He's just not experienced things like that. He doesn't know any better than what he feels with his Ping woods and Callaway irons. We need to lead this boy to better ways.

I bought 2 more of the same putter last night. I'm not going to touch my original one, not yet anyway, but I'll try some refinishing experiments on the two I get when they arrive next week.
