18 HB Hickory

Otey Crisman “18 HB” Handcrafted Hickory Putter

Handmade in Selma, Alabama since 1946, the Otey 18 HB is crafted for purists who prize direct feedback, precision, and sustained balance in their short game.

Brass Face Insert
A finely milled brass insert delivers dependable, solid feedback while promoting a true roll with every stroke.

Dual Lead Weights
Two lead weights beside the insert stabilize the head’s center of gravity, reducing torque and preserving face alignment on imperfect strikes.

Offset Hosel
The offset hosel encourages forward hand position and supports a smoother path through impact, aiding in consistent face presentation.

Wood Laminate Rear Body
The “HB” design incorporates a wood laminate rear section to refine weight distribution and present an elegant, classic visual.

Hickory Shaft
Each shaft is individually heat-dried, hand-turned, and sealed with lacquer to resist moisture and warping while preserving that signature hickory feel.

Leather-Wrapped Grip
Wrapped by hand in premium leather to deliver tactile feedback, secure control, and a vintage aesthetic.

Available Options
Offered in 34", 35", and 36" lengths, for both right- and left-hand players.

Performance
The fusion of brass, wood, and hickory yields a crisp, responsive sensation at impact. The head’s dual weights and offset design act to stabilize and square the face consistently. This putter delivers classic character with performance demanding modern standards. Its robust build and refined aesthetics make it as suited to serious play as it is appealing to collectors.
