Kirk Currie Putters

[DDBowdoin]

I played with someone today who had one of these in their bags today. Had a pretty nice feel, made in USA, interesting weight system. Anyone using these out there?

I'm just curious, I've never really seen these putters out there.

Very good. Has a soft and slightly woody feel to it when hit solidly. Hit it off centre though and you'll know it immediately. Plays to 34" and feels a lot heavier than most other putters out there even when using the lighter weights. Good for those people who have the yips especially and makes the putt a true stoke rather a hit due to the weight. Grip is good but not sure if it is possible to get it replaced due to half the weighting system being installed in the butt end of the club (the other half is in the head). Finish is quite durable. Most other putters/clubs I've seen that are of a similar color wear off after a few days/weeks. Mine has been used for a few months and there has been no change.

interesting... I checked out his website and it seems he's changed his graphics (for the negative in my opinion).

on a completely random side note, my putter has always performed well but I'm always out on the prowl for something new. I have been checking out Slighter putters and received a refinish qoute of 200 for my cameron to be rewelded, a black oxide finish, some custom stamping, and a sound slot and wasn't very shocked by that number so I decided I'd throw together some specs for a custom Slighter putter.

I thought my specs weren't very exotic and my customized stampings were minimal. Anyways, I received my price quote this morning and he finalized everything for 503.95!
I almost fell out of my seat, that is such a rip off its unreal! Given I'd have a putter with my name on the bumpers like the pro's and all the custom aesthetics elements you only find on Circle T putters but still, 503! Performance wise I can't see it rolling any better than my scotty which I picked up for around half that price.

I do agree that $500 for a putter is a lot. However it would be a hand made, made for you and a one of a kind. You also could look at the $200 custom job to your $300 scotty is $500. At this point it's not about performance as it is about something unique and special to you.

Who's paying 200 for a custom paint job, full restoration is $150.

Forgot to mention. These putters were not able to crack the so called "premium market" so they're extremely cheap right now... Here is a catalogue of some of the Wilson Staff KC putters, http://www.wilsonstaff.com/media/wil..._usa_2531f.pdf
and here is a close up version of one of his putters,

I'd love to have my name on my putters bumpers but thats a pretty steep price for some pretty simple additions. If you take a second and look at some of the custom putters made on his site they have all of this flashy crap all over them, how much are those?

on a side not, I was reading his forum and people were talking about it being 16 weeks since they ordered their putter and they still hadn't received it yet. Thats a pretty long wait...

I have a Kirk Currie KC1. Along with many others. I use an Odyssey Black Series #2 right now. Also have a Mizuno Bettinardi. The KC 1 can't be bought. I love the head and butt weighting system. Beautiful putter with many different weighting options for the price!!! Oh did I mention it feels GREAT also!
