You may need to do some back of the napkin CG location calculations. As soon as you remove material somewhere, it shifts the CG. So the club might not be perfectly symmetrical.

My guess is that the CG is closer to the heel than the center, considering the shaft. I don't know the math necessary to calculate the CG; something I'll have to learn! 

Thanks for the input!!!

Double check the CAD program for CG calcs. Some come with that ability.

you can do it by using a python console but it's not working right and I can't figure out why.

Yeah, and the CG location is going to be important.

Also, do you want people staring at a flag when they're looking down at their putter at address?

The flag can be changed; that's more for me than for wide use. I like having both a narrow aim line (the straight line) and a wider one. It helps me for some reason. 

I agree. Looks is really the only important aspect. Looks most likely translates to how a player says it feels nice. Just my opinion.

What's the end goal here? To begin to manufacture a putter for sale? Because… visit the PGA Merchandise Show some time, and you'll find lots of putters (as well as tees that get you an extra five yards). Everyone designs a putter, and yet… there's nothing special about any of them, really. Putters are just flat pieces of metal on the end of a stick.

The end goal is to make a putter -- past that, I don't really have any expectations! I like making things, but in my professional life the work I do doesn't really have an end point, and having project that I can "finish" has been a lot of fun. 

I definitely agree RE: the specialness of any particular putter. I like the design I have and I think it'll look cool when it's done. But who know! I might hate it when it's actually out in the world. I've got a few friends and family who want one already, which is a cool feeling

Awesome work - nothing like working on something you are passionate about. I can't wait to see the finished product once you get there!
