Its rare in life that a tremendous amount of anticipation ends with exceeded expectations. I have to say that as bad as I wanted this putter and as hard as it was to wait to 1) scrape together $$$ to buy it and 2) wait for it to be built, when I held it for the first time it was more than I ever could have hoped.

It is an Oil Can 007 w/ extra rounding, ground to 350g, no sound slot, w/ off white paint fill. Its 34.5" and has a rubber byron grip though I also bought the redwood leather grip and may still put it on instead.

I've played 36 holes so far and it is by far the best putter I've ever used (replaces an oil can santa fe) and already feels like its been in the bag for 10 years...

Thanks to everyone at Turfsurfer, what an amazing value and what a great putter.

Nice pick up! I have to admit that is probably the first Byron I have seen that I have liked, minimal markings with a solid finish the bumper work makes this a look I can tolerate. Remove byron from the neck and it put it small in the cavity or not appear on it at all and I would be tempted to buy. Regardless nice choices made on your part to get an amazing putter. I hope she roles good for you and yout as happy down the road as your are currently.

Very sweet. I love the clean look on that one. The extra rounding on it looks great as well. I think that is one of my favorite looking Byron's.

Not just Byron, most custom putters! Its nice to see a clean one without at least six colours of paint fill, snow on the back, handstamped names (with the letters all over the place), "Tour Only" serial number 13,457 of 62,000,000 "Limited Edition" on the sole, snoopy or a shamrock stamped on the face etc

Very nice club

Yeah, some of the ones guys have done through C&L are just way, way over the top. I'm sure they're still great putters to play w/ but they just are not my cup of tea. I feel the same way about some of the camerons that came out during the fully customizable period. Its like it became a contest to see who could have the most stamps on one putter and took focus away from the craftsmanship of the putter itself. The pooping scotty dog became a must have for some but for me it was a travesty.

I debated long and hard about having more stamps but in the end, just decided less is more and I only wanted the 3 critical pieces of info: Who made it? (Byron), What is it? (007), Is it special? (350 grams).

Thanks again for the great feedback, always nice when a plan comes together.

Very well done; don't see to much snow on Byrons however?

i would love a Byron, but i can't even justify a $60 flatstick to my girlfriend, let alone such an outstanding putter as this...

congrats.

What she doesn't know, won't hurt her, buy away my man, you'll be glad that you did!

Adam Brewer
which one, the Byron (as if I could actually afford it) or the $60 one?
