REESO VTX Putter

[DBS]

I’m looking to find a Resso VTX long Putter and can’t seem to find any on line. I bought one of the last ones that was made before the companies founder passed away. I would like to find another one just like the one I have. Anyone have any ideas?

 

[PRWELLMAN]

I know it's been almost two years, are you still looking for a Reeso VTX putter?

Please contact me either way.

I am looking for a Reeso VTX putter as well.

Hello,

Sorry to get back late, busy holiday.

Nonetheless, I have:

1-Reeso VTX Putter with an adjustable shaft, which makes it easier for traveling and is USGA approved.

1-Reesso Cook Face-On Putter nonadjustable shaft

1 Reese Putters.com SFT Headcover

2-53” metal shafts

1-Adjustable shaft conversion kit.

Let me know if your interested in anything.

[Yipper]

Hi, I am interested.   I accidentally broke mine and would like to replace.  How much would ask for it?  Or trade?

[Yipper]

More specifically, I am interested in the Reeso VTX putter with adjustable shaft.  

[PRWELLMAN]

The putters are my seventy-eight-year-old Dad, who doesn’t play much golf anymore.

And, like a little kid, once I brought them out, he’s now having fun putting around the house.

When I told him about the situation, he didn’t seem thrilled to be selling them.

Honestly, he’s having a good time; I’d really can’t sell it now

I apologize; I got ahead of myself.

I’ll keep you in mind if we go to sell them.

Again, sorry for any inconvenience.

[Yipper]

No worries.  Thanks.

I have recently switched to side saddle putting and was lucky to find a Reeso Cook 48 inch putter as a comparison to my Ping belly putter. 
are parts or hardcovers available anywhere for these clubs if needed . If anyone is still using these are there things I should know ? 
thanks

Hi Barry,

Really hard to find parts or replacements since the owner/designer died suddenly and nobody picked up the patents.  I still have the original I purchased, but the shaft broke where it inserts into the putter head and so all I have is the parts.  Let me know if you need anything.  I would be happy to ship them to you for the cost of shipping.

I agree with Yipper, it's hard to find replacement parts, but you can find complete putters.

I have two Reeso Putters; Reeso Cook Face-on Putter and a Reeso  VTX Putter.

I have an original manual, headcover, and extra shafts.

I also have an adjustable shaft mechanism that locks in place with an Allen-Hex key and makes traveling with the putter easier.

Best wishes.

@Yipper I would very much like to buy your broken Reeso putter.  Which model is it?

Bill,

 

My putter is a Reese-Cook VFX Face on Putter with Adjustable Shaft.

This is a long shot given how old this thread is, but I just picked up a Reeso VTX putter and I'm trying to adjust the lie, but it's not obvious how to do that. Aside from unscrewing the hosel from the putter head everything else looks fused together. Wondering if @PRWELLMAN @Yipper @discap have any info about adjusting the lie.

Thanks for the help.

[discap]

The lie is not really adjustable.  The PGA states that it must have at least 10 deg angle (not sure on the exact #) all of these putters came with the minimum allowable angle from vertical.  This is why the corners are beveled off.  The sole of the club is not intended to sit flat on the ground.

Having said all this, the only way to change the angle is to bend the silver piece that the shaft is glued in to.

In use:

1. Hold the putter with your top hand and let it dangle

2. the beveled edge will be the closest part to the ground

3. place bottom hand much like holding a pencil

4.  Club should swing forward and back freely but not hit your foot.  If it does then you need to move you top hand outward.

5. Do not manipulate the club path. straight forward and back

6. I keep my top hand tight on the putter.  My bottom hand twists the putter counter clockwise against my top hand.  This keeps the face from opening up.

Good luck.  I have been using mine for close to 10 years.  I average 1.7 putts/hole (yes I have statistics on every hole I play)

Thanks Bill,

Really appreciate the tips! I'm hoping between side saddle putting and working on the Jim Venetos swing I'll drop some shots off my typically mid-90's score.

I am in the market for a Reeso Putter, preferably VTX.  Anyone has one they want to sell?  How does the Reeso compare to a L.A.B. putter?

Thank you.

[Yipper]

I had the Reeso putter, but the shaft broke at the insert to the putter head.  The manufacturer/designer passed away and there is nobody to fix them anymore.  I just purchased the L.A.B. works putter about 10 rounds ago and it is awesome!  I like it much better than the face-on putter and any other putter I have used.   Goodbye, Yips!
