18 HBW Hickory

Otey Crisman “18 HBW” Handcrafted Hickory Putter

Handmade in Selma, Alabama since 1946, the Otey 18 HBW blends classic craftsmanship with refined performance. It appeals to golfers who demand feedback, balance, and elegant engineering.

Brass Face Insert
A precision-cut brass insert ensures consistent contact, stable roll, and crisp feedback with each stroke.

Dual Lead Weights
Lead weights flanking the insert centralize mass in the head, reducing twist and improving stability on off-center hits.

Offset Hosel
The offset hosel encourages forward hand positioning and helps square the face through impact, enhancing alignment and control.

Wood Laminate Rear Body
The “W” denotes wood laminate construction in the rear. This adds a warm aesthetic and refines weight distribution without sacrificing performance.

Hickory Shaft
Each shaft is heat-dried, lacquer-sealed, and hand-turned. The material delivers natural feel and resists moisture and warpage.

Leather-Wrapped Grip
Hand-wrapped premium leather grip provides direct tactile feedback, secure handling, and a classic look.

Available Options
Available in 34, 35, and 36 inch lengths, for both right-handed and left-handed players.

Performance
The combination of brass, wood, and hickory yields a responsive, alive feel. Balanced weighting and offset geometry reduce torque and support consistency. The 18 HBW’s construction delivers both durability and aesthetic integrity.
