Here are the pictures. Overall, I am very happy with how it turned out. I do wish it was heavier, and I would have been happier with deeper milling, but in the end, I got what I wanted. I think he did a pretty good job for one of his first putters that was completely done by himself, instead of finishing blank ss heads. I kind of wish I would have gone with the black shaft, but it was a stepped shaft, and I wanted a stepless.
I'll have a full review this weekend, after gaming it. I'm going from an Odyssey white hot, so the non insert might take some getting used to, but it will be my gamer.

I went out yesterday and played a quick 9 to try out the putter. I just have to say I love it. I'm sure there is a honeymoon stage, but I was worried about the weight, and transitioning from an Odyssey white hot insert, to this milled carbon. I didn't have a chance to hit up the putting green before teeing off, but the feel of this putter was great, and my speed was pretty much right on except for one really bad misread. I love the feel, and really like the look of the putter. I know feel is subjective, and looks, for the most part, are as well, but there isn't a lot on this putter I would change. Some have knocked the shaping of the putter, and I won't dispute the shaping isn't perfect. But I don't see anything that is distracting at all when I am standing over a putt. I actually had quite a bit of confidence using this putter. This putter has a little more toe hang than my #9, and really seems to fit my arc well.
One thing I'll add (that has nothing to do with DW or the putter) is this is the first club I had a Gripmaster grip installed on. Wow, this thing is awesome. I got a killer deal, so I didn't have to fork out the 40-50 bucks for one, but I will say they are worth the retail price.
I'll post a few months from now with an update on wear and tear on the finish, and anything else I noticed. Like I said before, though, I am very pleased with how it turned out, and will most likely get another putter from him in the future, when he gets a little more polished in his craft.

Nice to hear that it rolled well for you, and those grips are awesome!

[NickPhillips]

Yeah I am VERY happy with mine as well. The more I putt with it, the better it gets. It will be in the bag for a while!

DW makes a great putter, enjoyed reading your review!

One more thing I'd like to ask.  Does anyone know of a place where I can get a customize headcover for my putter? Ideally, what I'm looking for is an AME type blade headcover in white and for someone to do some stitching.  I've gone to three or four places and so far, I'm SOL.

As others have said.  Delilah at girly golfer.  Best quality and personalization for relatively cheap.  Do it!  Or get a WRX one from here.  Also good quality.

[golf_junkie27]

My headcover came in today.  Thanks to all who offered information.  Greatly appreciate it!!!!

[KILLEDBYASHANKEDWEDGE]

Very nice work!

[dxbrobbo]

has anyone heard from DW in say the last 2 weeks?

[KILLEDBYASHANKEDWEDGE]

Nothing in the last month.

[bwrichmond]

I've seen three putters listed under his ebay name "freshestgear" in the last two weeks or so.

I have, he's going to do a new putter for me to replace the last one that didn't turn out as hoped for.

It sounds like he may be swamped with similar requests based on the reviews that have been on here.  Busy guy!

[dxbrobbo]

He emailed me, doing the paintfill on mine, should have it in hand soon.

Will start my own thread when it arrives.
