Another New Putter

[BStone]

Well, got another new putter, used it today and am not sure what I want to put in the bag. It is a Modena 8, with a polished charcoal finish that is not going to be brought to retail. It has the new AGSI+ insert which I have really grown to like. I also had the UST Frequency Filtered putter shaft installed, I've been itching to try this out for a while.

First impression was that the ball really jumped off of the face of this particular putter. The shaft did soften the feel, but I want to switch it to a putter that I have used before to see what it really does. The one thing I did not like is that when I tap the putter to the ground, I can hear a vibration in the shaft at the joint. This does nothing while actually putting, but still freaks me out a little.

I've seen pics of that shaft before (ualtim?). It looks very interesting. Nice looking flatstick.

Just how much "customizing" do you do before you post these pics? Did you do the paintfill removal on this one (and the irons)? Anything else?

Wedges I'll grind before I even think about putting them in play, usually take some trailing edge relief and a lot off the heel, also will bend them 4* flat. Irons will get bent 3 degrees flat and have all the paintfill removed (a superstition I've had for a few years now) I also get the heads and shafts sent as components so that I can build them to a D5 swing weight. Putters will get bent 3* flat and will get swing weighted to a D7 and have the paintfill removed. Woods will generally get reshafted since they send with stock TM shafts and I have never had much success with the Re*Ax/Rombax shafts. I also take the paintfill out of the woods. I will add weight to the heads of my woods as well, I like them to be at a D5 swing weight as well.

Holy smokes; that is a lot of "tweaking"!

Similar to me.I have wedges heel and trailing edge ground,irons 1/4 shorter than standard and a putter that is 3 degrees flat and cut and balanced at 32.5".My irons are also 2 degrees flat

how long til ferrari sues TM for combining "Modena" with those four dots that look like the F360 modena's taillights?

Seeing as those dots are actually tungsten weights and not decorative, I'm sure they would be able to withstand any lawsuit that Ferarri threw at them.
