When it comes to putter design there are a lot of designers and creators known by a single name—Karsten, Scotty, Bettinardi, and now Toulon. But there are many more out there creating beautifully unique and perfectly machined designs like Bruce Sizemore of More Golf.

With More Golf, Bruce is launching an ultra-premium golf equipment startup that will bring design and manufacturing of the world’s finest golf equipment to Michigan (notice I didn’t just say putters, but we’ll touch on that later).

More Golf’s initial offering is The Detroit Collection, a limited-edition release of just 99 ultra-premium putters that were created from start to finish in the city of Detroit.

More Golf founder Bruce Sizemore:

“With The Detroit Collection, our first commercial project, we wanted to make a statement about the city of Detroit. Detroit is an incubator of transformative artistry and design. Maybe more than anything, it’s a place with a bold vision for the future. We created The Detroit Collection to offer the ultimate combination of precision manufacturing, artistry, design, and of course, boldness.”

Behind the Design

Each one-of-a-kind putter features a Mokume Gane insert. What is that? Let me explain. Mokume Gane is an ancient Japanese art form that dates back to the 16th century. Originally, this meticulous metal-making method was used to construct ornate hilts (handles) on samurai swords by layering metal and fusing it close to its melting point. It translates roughly to “wood grain metal” and by looking at the insert, it’s easy to understand why.

Mokume Gane inserts for The Detroit collection putters are crafted from 14 layers of the purest copper and silver to create a look and feel that is completely unique. Through heating and pressure, the copper and silver are bonded to form a solid billet of material which will then become the insert.

To create the unique ornamentation of each putter insert, the Mokume Gane billet is hand-carved to establish a three-dimensional surface pattern before being forged and then milled flat. The resulting “starburst effect” present in each insert is the result of the different layers of materials expressing their distinct character on the surface. These putters are almost more about creating a functioning piece of art than a day to day workhorse.

“The unique fingerprint of each putter can never be duplicated because of the hand-crafted intricacies of Mokume Gane. It can never be reproduced.” Bruce Sizemore

Ordering & spec details

The Detroit Collection putter heads and necks are 100 percent CNC Milled from a solid billet of 303 stainless material to the tightest tolerances. The head and/or necks of the putters can be customized in one of two finishes: Satin Pearl or Patina. Each Mokume insert is available in one of two finishes: Raw Mokume or Belgian Black Patina. Length, loft, and lie angle will be customized to order. Custom laser etching will also available of each one of these 99 putters.

Each putter will also be equipped with a proprietary putter shaft from Oban that was developed specifically for More Golf. Each putter shaft is created from a seamless Japanese braided steel tube that’s extruded to its final shape to offer the highest level of quality and feel.

Details don’t stop at the putter head either, More Golf also collaborated with U.S.-based Best Grips to create signature putter grips and headcovers for The Detroit Putter Collection. All Best Grips headcovers and grips are handmade from the finest cowhide, to offer golfers a distinctive look and a premium feel.

How to get yours

The Detroit Collection putters start at $2,500 (USD) and can be reserved through the More Golf website: MOREGOLFUSA.COM. Golfers who want to make their putter truly one of a kind can schedule a 1-on-1 design consultation with Bruce Sizemore.

Interesting clubs at top of bag – GolfWRXers discuss

In our forums, users are talking about top of bag setups that are non-traditional or thought-provoking in some way. Original poster @SuperSpurs106 inquired about other members who might use unorthodox set-ups to help with gapping issues or weak spots.

They wrote:

“I currently have a PING G430 driver, TM Qi35 3W and a TM Qi4D 7W. Driver and 7W are fine but can’t get on with my 3W and have always struggling with this club over the years. Thinking of adding a 2H which I know would look odd. Just wondering if anyone else had a weird set up at the top of their bag?”

Our members in the forum have offered up their thoughts and personal experiences with non-traditional top of bag set-ups, and their reasoning for thinking outside of the box to begin with. Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

BowMain42: “Don’t worry about what “looks” odd. If the club does what you need it to do, it’s the right club.”
scooterhd2: “I cant hit 3 woods either. Thats why I roll with a unicorn XL Hibore 2 wood. 400 cc head at 16 degrees of loft and its just a monster 3 wood off the tee. Off the deck, we are playing the f6 baffler. 5 wood at 41.75 inches and its easy to control.”
phizzy30: “I had driver, 3 metal, 2/4 hybrid once upon a time as a higher ss player. 4 hybrid is gone and in place is a driving iron nowadays. I don’t think what you’re proposing is weird in anyway, however the yardage gap might be glaringly huge between driver and 2 hybrid. What is it about your 3 metal that has got you all messed up? You could always go 4 metal with shorter shaft and see if that works.”

Members of the Mini Driver Club – GolfWRXers discuss

In our forums, one user has gone searching for fellow users of a mini driver. In a post, @TightFade asked for other mini driver users to chime in with their weapon of choice, the reason for employing a mini, and what club follows it in the bag.

@TightFade asked:

“What mini are you playing? What spot in the bag did it take over? What’s the next club after it? For me: Elyte mini 13.5. Replacing 3w. Next up club looks like it’ll be 5w.”

Our members in the forum have been sharing their own bag setups featuring the mini driver, and the various reasons they purchased one in the first place. Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

RCGA: “Ping G430 Max 12* ‘Thriver.’ Next club is a 4w and 2i (I play a weird course).”
JMB3: “R7 at 12.75 with Diamana BB 63s. 3w replacement. Next Club: Elyte Ti 5w at 17*.”
ColdOkieGolf: “R7 15.5 turned down to 13.5 It replaces the 3w. I found it surprisingly easy to hit off the deck, and it’s very rare that I need or want to hit something beyond 250 from the fairway, so next club is my 7w.”
ChaosTheory: “I’m sub-90 MPH with driver. But I’m able to hit DOD. I have been wanting something like the R7 15.5, so I just ordered one. I have a spot in the bag so nothing has to go. But I could see it replacing my trusty 4 wood, which I never use for approach shots. Just tee shots and lay ups. If I drop the 4 wood, I will turn my 7 wood down to ~20 degrees and will have good gaps. I recently tried a thriver build: 12 degree driver turned to 14, with a heavier 44 inch shaft and added head weight. I hit it great. Very accurate and not overly high, but the problem was that it sometimes went as far as a typical drive. And that’s not what I needed. So I will probably turn the 15.5 up to 16.5 or even 17.5. It’s all theoretical at this point. ?”
