Brass Face Insert
Precision-cut brass insert delivers firm, consistent feedback and promotes a clean, true roll with every strike.

Dual Lead Weights
Lead weights placed on either side of the insert centralize the mass and reduce face twist on off-center hits.

Offset Hosel
The offset hosel helps position the hands ahead at address and supports a smoother, more controlled face presentation through impact.

Wood Laminate Rear Section
The “HB” style includes a wood laminate rear section that refines weight distribution and provides a classic, warm aesthetic.

Hickory Shaft
Each shaft is heat-dried, hand-turned, and lacquer-sealed—preserving natural flex and resisting moisture or warping.

Leather-Wrapped Grip
Hand-wrapped with premium leather for firm control, tactile sensitivity, and an authentic vintage feel.

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

Performance
The combination of brass, wood, and hickory gives a crisp, responsive feel. The head geometry and weighting enhance stability, while the offset hosel optimizes alignment. Designed to perform like a modern putter while embracing the spirit of classic craftsmanship.
